Human Resource Services, Inc. Bill Zinke Emotionally abusive micromanager Boulder, Colorado
Boulder and Denver area residents beware! Do NOT send your resume to Human Resource Services, Inc.! Do NOT even THINK about working for Bill Zinke! He will lie to you, make you think you're about to work for a great place, and then the moment you start working for him, his true evil side will come out.
Who knew an 85 year old man could put people through such hell? Bill Zinke (William K. Zinke) is an abuser of the highest degree, a man who has no meaning of the word "respect" and will do everything to make your life a living hell and nightmare. Even writing this makes me a target, but that's why I am remaining anonymous so he does not find out who I am.
There was a report filed on him a few months ago: http://www.ripoffreport.com/employers/human-resource-servi/human-resource-services-willia-f601e.htm
There is a list on his assistant's computer that contains all the employees that have worked for him. In the last five years, 60 people. In the last ten years, over 100. And the office is a small three-person workspace, which includes him. He goes through office managers and assistants every few months. He promises the world to his employees and then rips it out from them. He plays the age card at every chance he can get. He will abuse you, call you names, insult you, insult your intelligence, demean you, curse at you, fart next to your face and make you endure it (this is true, believe it or not), and make you feel like less of a person.
Want to take lunch? Be prepared to only be allowed 15 minutes for lunch, or be berated for it. Want to call sick? Be prepared to be fired and then have your unemployment contested for six months by him, while he sends you harassing letters and emails. Want to take a vacation? Be prepared for him to use it against you when he forgets things. He will also call you every other day while you're on vacation.
Oh and want to have a brain? Despite what his fraudulent employment ads state, it is not a place for thinking. He will handwrite out emails and letters for you to type. He will give you a script when you want to make a phone call. You are not allowed to write your own emails or make your own phone calls. You are basically a typist who makes $50,000 a year.
If you ever work for him, change your number after you leave. It is for the best.

Florida,Rebuttal from Ex-Employee of William K. Zinke

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Judy Hartl, and I worked with Bill Zinke for about seven years when his management consulting firm was located in New York City.
Working with Bill was a challenge because his standards were high, partly because of his legal background but more because he was building a consulting practice that entailed working with senior executives in major companies who expected a high quality of work. Along with myself, there were three additional support staff. I can speak for all of them who felt as I did, and most of these girls were also with Bill for approximately the same length of time.
I thought I had excellent skills when Bill hired me, but learned a great deal from working with him and only left because I remarried. I now live in Florida and still have fond memories of working with Bill. If fact, we still exchange Christmas cards after 26 years, and he has visited my husband and me in Florida.
I am happy to put my name on this posting.

To the Posters:
I have read all of the postings and believe some have validity. I am reminded of the Chinese riddle, which some of you have heard me quote:
QWhat is the biggest room in the world?
AThe room for improvement.
This applies to me, as it does to all of us.
There are parts of the postings that are absolutely untrue, for example that nobody stays beyond a short period and that I accept advice from nobody. The Office Manager is really an essential part of CPLs ongoing success. He has worked with me for more than 2 years, has received three substantial salary increases and three substantial bonuses because his work is consistently excellent. I frequently seek his advice and frequently accept his suggestions. He has traveled with me to four meetings (in one made the announcement that we would create a LinkedIn account for meeting participants at their request) and is a real colleague.
During the past four years, my long period of good health has caught up with me. They began with a severe case of shingles, followed by a fractured hip from which I am now almost fully recovered through the great support of a wonderful physical therapist, two angioplasties, and a hernia operation. What has sustained me is my motto Strength in Adversity, and that same motto also sustains me through the travails of Rip-off Reports, which clearly show room for improvement.
I suspect there is room for all of us to improve.
Sincerely,
Bill Zinke
Note: One point I would like to make clear is that, despite the popular conception that people beyond 80 are over the hill and out of the game, I and the Center for Productive Longevity are going strong. I leave on March 16 for a busy week in Europe and may be making a trip to the Asia Pacific in April. CPL is making a difference in stimulating the substantially increased engagement of people 50 and older in productive activities, paid and volunteer, where they are qualified and ready to continue adding value. One important attribute, of course, is a positive attitude and an optimistic spirit.

It is difficult to deal with outrageously false statements by former employees who failed to meet the required standards of a consulting firm which for the past 43 years has dealt with senior-level executives in major organizations who are entitled to expect high-quality work. If these employees would identify themselves, I would immediately sue them for libel.
