It is amazing that this guy is still up to his old tricks. He mentions "one" employee....HA.....I had 5 at my little location. If I wasn't dodging creditors or listeniing to complaints I was fighting for my pay. Then I had to explain why we didn't sell anything....

Doug Plattner wanted to hire me for His Tarpon Springs location. He told me to book my flight and rental car and hotel and he would pay for it all. He said he would reinburse me when I met him at the interview. So I did and guess what he never gave me a penny. He changed his story at the interview and said he would reinburse me if He hired me. Of course He need to see me right away and the flight was over 1000.00 So Mr. Plattner lied then and refused to take any calls from me after that. Mr Plattner has a history of screwing anyone and everyone. I thank God I did not go to work for this A******.

Is the guy has not paid you, gather your documentation & call the U.S. Dept of Labor. This avenue may take some time, but the feds have gotten him before and they are very familiar with his organization. This time last year, they nailed him for $71,000.00+. Here is a link to the US Dept. of Labor press release on the matter from November 09.

He is lucky he is in Florida & not some other states. Some other state labor departments not only get what you are owed, but also tack on penalties for every day that an employer does not pay you after the fact.
Good luck to you all.

Come on Doug i have personal experience with you promising one pay and giving another - that devastated my friend and soon you will see what being dishonest and not paying what you promised will get you!

Any luck with the legal aspect on getting Doug and Marcie?
i left 3 weeks ago and not only does he still owe me thousands he pretty much screwed anyone that worked with me the 4 1/2 months i was at Belle Glade.
If you find a way to after him let me know ill be there with bells on.
I am reporting him to the Labor Board on Friday if he doesnt answer me, but i have a feeling thats been done a hundred times with him to no effect.

Get real, you know you've ripped off your employees, vendors, and God only knows who else. The banks don't even want to deal with you any more. At least be honest, you have no use for your employees as they are just a commodity to you and have no value, as they can be replaced easily. At least for once in your life be honest and treat the people who watch over millions of your dollars fairly pay us what its worth to watch over your millions. Thats too much to ask I don't think.

It is a shame to see what one unhappy ex employee can do to the reputation of a major Florida Automotive group. We have 11 stores including new General Motors Franchises as well as Dodge Chrysler Jeep franchises. The Plattner Automotive Group strives to treat all of our employees with respect and dignity. However in an organization of our size it is only a matter of time until someone leaves our employe feeling unhappy or that they were somhow treated unfairly. Anonymous postings are not fair as we cannot research the complaint and respond to actual events. Doug Plattner

I TOO WORKED FOR THIS JERK AND I AM SURPRISED NOONE HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION AGAINST HIM YET. I SAW THIS GUY SCREW SMALL VENDORS OUT OF MONEY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HE WOULD THREATEN THEM WITH A LAW SUIT KNOWING THEY COUDN'T AFFORD TO FIGHT IT. I GUESS I WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONES BECAUSE AFTER TWO CALLS I GOT MONEY, BUT I QUIT RIGHT AFTER THAT. I WAS NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. HOPEFULLY NO ONE PURCHASES ANY VEHICLES FROM HIS TARPON SPRINGS DODGE LOCATION. THE SALES DEPARTMENT IS A JOKE. I KEEP IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE THERE AND HIS NEW G.S.M IS A TOTAL PUTZ! HE BARELY KNEW HOW TO DO HIS ORIGINAL JOB AS A FINANCE MANAGER AND HERE THEY GO AND MAKE THE MAN THE MANAGER OVER A WHOLE STORE. HE MUST REALLY WANT TO RUN THIS STORE INTO THE GROUND. I WONDER WHAT MICHAEL PAPPAS THINKS ABOUT THIS GUY. HEY, MIKE!!! IS STILL PAYING HIS RENT??? IF SO, YOUR LUCKY. HOPE YOU ALL GET THIS PLACE SHUT DOWN. CALL THE DMV
