First off, I am pretty sure that whatever computer you are using has Spell Check. PLEASE use it. Now, I think it's about time somebody stepped up and filed a report about Eddie. Don't get me wrong, Tropic Solve is some pretty good stuff. Nothing against the product. The whole issue is with Eddie, or Charles, or whatever he calls himself nowadays. If you plan on working for him, here is what to expect. 1) Days off are non existent. You get Sunday, but he expects you to be at his house so he can tell you drunken stories of how cool he is. Expect to sit in a very uncomfortable chair in his "office" for hours on end, watching him smoke pot, guzzle booze, and slur through stories of sales greatness in the 19th Century, when he sold magazines. Forget having Saturday nights to yourself either. You will more than likely spend those either running errands for him, because he is a lazy piece of crap who can't do anything for himself due to his failing liver. Or he will try to buy you off with services from a crack w***e in exchange for not paying you. I once walked into his office and saw a crack w***e fingering his a*s. The even stranger thing is that he used the money that he swore he didn't have to pay me to pay for that. 2) Dismal Living Conditions. More than likely, you will be put up at whatever slum drug hotel he can find. The Knights Inn is a favorite. Enjoy the roaches and crackheads. Also, keep a lock on your luggage, because he mostly employes middle aged drug addicts who WILL steal from you. 3) Hunger. No matter how much you sell, you will only get $20 a day, Monday through Friday, and maybe if you are lucky, $50 on Saturday. It doesn't matter if you made $500 in commission for the week. He will weave fancy tales of cancellations and excuses not to pay. When you have drinking and multiple drug habits to support, cash is tight. Also expect most of your pay to go to the crackhead that he pays off to tell everyone that the kid with Lukemia is his. 4) Lying to Customers. A big part of the job is to make it seem as though you are selling Tropic Solve for charity. He gives you a picture of this kid and you tell Mr. and Mrs. Jones that this is Eddie's dying son, and 70% of each sale goes towards his treatment. You also NEVER get solicitors permits, so be prepared to do some jail time. 5) After You Quit. When you eventually get tired of all of this and quit, he will tell everyone within earshot that you are a homo, a loser, and will never amount to anything. LMAO! Here's where it gets interesting. Let me break it down in sections for you. 1a) Homo- This man really has the nerve to accuse people of being homosexuals when he has been taking it up the butt from his "General Manager" for over 5 years now. I guess it's a self loathing thing. Hell, he has been saying that about me for years! I haven't worked for him since 2006. I ran into a guy that I used to work with while working for Eddie a few weeks ago. He still tells people that I am a "homo" and that I screw guys. Funny. This whole time I guess I was banging guys and didn't even know about it. Neither did my wife. Dumbass. 1b) Loser and never amounting to anything- I was returning some movies a while back and saw this idiot RIDING HIS BICYCLE to the video store. I own 2 new cars and he rides a bike. By the way, nice fanny pack. I have accomplished more before 30 than Eddie could ever scam his way into. I also pay my taxes. Eddie hasn't payed his taxes in over 30 years. That's why the IRS will get a phone call very soon. I was willing to let it go, but after not being payed and having my name drug through the mud for years, I decided to not be so nice. In closing, if you have any questions, please call Charles "Eddie" haskin at 812-841-1293.
