HD Omaha Mentally uncapable of executing people skills Omaha Nebraska
I was hired by and reported directly to Jim Rich at HD Omaha.
During the inverview process Mr. Rich told me he did not do well dealing with people but loved working with numbers and spreadsheets. I thought that was odd because it takes people skills to manage rental properties. Shortly after starting work for him, Mr. Rich informed me that he had aspbergers which immediately explained why he preferred numbers to people.
Because I have an honorary nephew with aspbergers,, this did not deter me from continuing to work for Mr. Rich. I made sure to set goals and objectives so I could be successful at my job at HD Omaha and to keep Mr. Rich on track. This lasted for approximately 30 days and after that, nothing was good enough for Jim.
I was under contract to purchase a house I planned to live in and used a real estate agent Jim Rich purchased approximately 100 houses from. The agent told me his wife was Guatemalan and every time he showed Jim a house he would ask the agent "How many Guatemalan's do you think I can get in here."
I applied for a loan at a local community bank and when the officer found out I worked at HD Omaha he told me that the bank had to turn Jim down for a mortgage on an HD project because the way the company was structured it was too risky of an investment. The bank officer said Mr. Rich was not happy with him about denying the loan.
I was approved for a loan from the same community bank and when the bank contacted Jim Rich prior to closing for employment verification, Mr. Rich fired me to keep me from getting the mortgage to close on the house.
I extended a formal written invitation to Jim Rich to attend Mediation, which is a cost effective non-contentious dispute resolution process. Additionally, I gave Mr. Rich the opportunity to chose the mediator and offered to pay for half of the associated costs myself. Mr. Rich refused to mediate and followed through with my firing to keep me from closing on the house as retaliation against the local community bank for denying him a loan.
I witnessed Jim have problems with every person in the business refusing to be reasonable or negotiate his position.
Jim Rich is a wealthy and successful man, even more impressive that he has made his accomplishments with autism. I have not seen him use his resources or his time to help others less fortunate that struggle in the autism spectrum.
I highly reccomend you closely read the reviews on HD Omaha and the spin Mr. Rich puts on his harsh critics. It would be wise to consider all available options before working for or renting a home from HD Omaha or Jim Rich.
