Kissimmee,#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Thu, September 13, 2012
I left Boston Medical in September 2007 (after one year of service) but I am surprised to still see the posting from 2007 by "Ramona" (ficticious name). However, after so many years I have decided to enter a rebuttal because it continues to be an outright attempt by her to damage my character and those of other employees at the company. Although "Ramona" has the right to excercise free speech, she does not have the right to slander people's reputation without presenting any valid evidence. I would have sued her for slander if she had put her real name on the posting.
I only met "Ramona" once because she worked at the California office and I worked at the Florida office. At the time, she was going through many personal problems and was purportedly receiving therapy for this. She was mad at the company when she left in 2007. Perhaps (in her mind) she was blaming the company for all of her personal problems and her posting was one way for her to get revenge. When I first saw the posting I felt sad for her but, on the other side, it was destructive to both the company's and management's reputation and it was not substantitated by any evidence.
There are federal laws that protect employee's rights in the workplace. If "Ramona" was tryly being "beaten down" by the company, she should have filed a complaint to the proper authorities or filed a lawsuit against the company. The problem is that she had no evidence to back her claims.
I hope that by now "Ramona" has been able to staighten out her personal situation and life is better for her. While this website should be used for people to post valid criticism of companies or their employees, it's a pity when it is used to defame people's character, especially people who they hardly know.

Bainbridge Island,#3Consumer Comment

I filed a response earlier to another posting, but I find that Gina's has less, if anything to do with consumer information and is more along the lines of the personalities of executives running the company, which has nothing to do with the product they are selling. I will say this, however, that the clinics definitely reflect the "fly-by-night" feeling you get about the execs. behind the curtain.
