What goes around...
My husband used to work for an audio visual company that shall not be named. When he started there he was THRILLED to have the job, even though he felt that they took advantage of him some six months earlier. They had interviewed him and had liked him enough to ask him to come in for a week-long hands on interview, where they tasked him with building a very complex computer cluster. At the end of the week, they told him they had decided not to hire him, that they were in a hiring freeze. He was OBVIOUSLY brought in to do this project since nobody else had the professional chops to handle it.
Fast foreward six VERy lean months where Mark was forced to deliver food and make a few dollars a day after expenses and being a courier. Times were tough, VERY tough. He went back to that company and asked and lo and behold they hired him that day!
It didn't take long before Mark discovered that his Garden of Eden was really a teeming cesspool. The company was not fiulfilling contracts, was replacing new gear with gear bought on Ebay....the list went on and on. Mark managed to stay there and gained a new career--programming audio visual systems. He felt obligated because they had given him a chance but when they started pressuring him to lie to clients, which made HIM leagally liable, he decided to find a new company.
After Mark left, he found out some very disturbing facts. Among them, the CEO and her husband had declared bankruptcy THREE times in the past and had closed the doors on THREE businesses. It was just a matter of time...
The invitable happened and the company closed its doors. They didn't pay any of their 26 employees the last month's wages. Disgusting...
We JUST found out that a court REJECTED their bankruptcy claim and someone had to assume their debts (INCLUDING unemployment), so the CEO and her husband are working for the person who assumed their debts and will be for a good long time.
It's good to see them finally having to take responsibility. This has been a LONG time coming!
