Devin Verdon of Bally Total Fitness Hostile working environment and shady sales practices. Internet
Not sure what took me so long but here's the story with Devin Verdon of the notorious Bally's Total Fitness. I was so young and naive not to have sued but let's get this over with. First of all, Bally's went bankrupt a while back for all the good reasons. Shady management, hostile working environment and toxic coworkers to name a few. One of the absolute worst of all time besides the conniving Wendy A Tilley and thieving Ryan Conlin was DEVIN VERDON, "district manager."
Now he's doing some shady DNA Fit on Facebook which is internet fitness that everyone can get for free on YouTube. What's his deal? Well besides a shady sales man who's quick to blame and accusatory if you don't make a sale, an absolute nobody who only gives a rat's azz about his own paycheck. Imagine going to a used car lot and seeing a salesman approaching you while rubbing his hands is the perfect description.
What happens if you don't make a sale and a potential member walk out on you? You probably think a great manager will provide a little friendly support to encourage your next sale, correct? Something like, "Hey don't worry about it bud. They not all here to join and many are just shopping us around. You tried your best there so stay positive. Don't let this get you down and keep up the great job." Yeeeah right!
Devin Verdon be like, "You dropped the ball man! Can't believe you gave up and allow them to walk out the door without a membership (shakes his head). All that work down the drain for nothing tsk tsk. you couldn't close them because THEY CLOSED YOU! You didn't sell them because THEY SOLD YOU! You gotta learn to overcome their objections man. You keep taking NO for an answer, we ALL be out of business. I don't know but you probably just need more training because that's unacceptable."
Folks like this guy is why Bally's went bankrupt. Hostility and drama 24/7 and accuse all faults upon others. My only mistake was tolerating all the corruption instead of hiring an attorney. Rather, I now have to settle for whatever relief this exposure will bring. Check him out for yourself if you never laid eyes on the shadiest salesman ever. Good riddance!
