To the evil business owner who claims it is all about you—it is really all about ripping you off! It is really hard to find work around here—I was promised a full time job with benefits… when payday came around I was not paid. This went on for over three months before I called it quits. My poor friend who was very upfront about her pregnancy early on ALSO was victim of this man’s scam. Now she is visibly very pregnant and can’t find a job. This quack doesn’t pay off his bills, vendors or employees. HE puts on a great show about his “vision” has a pretty website—but he is AN ASSHOLE! This person will come up with crazy excuses, send emails from your account with fake reviews about his business to websites and string you along. He even made up A FAKE PERSON AND LEGAL TEAM! Haha! He wasted my time and energy and I missed out on other job opportunities because of him. I am sick of employers in this town giving young people the run around. Well the joke is on you buddy. Don’t think I or anyone else is going to take your crap, for me it’s all about the Labor Board. —Pissed Off Planner

So, why did it take you 3 months to realize you were being scammed?
With whom are you REALY angry – yourself for not trusting your gut; or for not being smart enough in the first place to quit while you were ahead.
If it looks like a duck and it talks like a duck, then it’s a duck. Learn from the experience, move on and don’t ever forget it…
If it looks like a human and talks like a human….

OP, don’t let the bastard get away with it.
3 Months a LOT of back pay, even at min wage.
Fight the good Fight.
How can you work somewhere for three months without getting paid?? What did you tell yourself that allowed you to continue providing this crook with free labour?
that’s the trouble with online get rich schemes. that’s all they are, a scam and a sham, to get you to either buy, put in time, or just suck you in period.
if you are really serious about working, get your ass to any number of cleaning companies, or call centers. they are always hiring.
But Meaty it could be a decoy.
Showing off your investigative skills, Brotim? If I were you, I’d be embarrassed if you get a warrant for a duck and arrest a decoy! No wonder the same gangs of hoodrats ride around shooting out their car windows while the HRM Cheif Wiggum clones ride around scratching their heads.
This guy sounds like a real piece of work. Best of luck OP.
Oooh I SO totally know who the person OB is bitching about is — your tag gave it away and yeah, I’ve heard this particular business owner is a complete and utter idiot/moron/incompetent assickle.
My sympathies, OB.
Wedding planner?
Party planner?
Urban planner?
Economic planner?
Family planner?
Certainly not a financial planner….
Environmental planner?
Contingency planner?
Am I getting warm?
Gotta be contracting, small business, maybe commercial design? Architecture? Spring Garden? I used to work for someone who fits this description exactly. He thought he was so smart and could pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. And he did, fooled engineers, city planning, even a small claims court judge.
Two words OP. Baseball bat.
SO TRUE OB!! thank you 🙂 It is a really long story… he totally screwed me over over the period of three months. This guy runs an event planning, floral business and an expo for proms in Halifax… do NOT trust him!
