Woodstock,#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Mon, January 26, 2004
I got suckered into this mess with the same company about 7 years ago. After being told during orientation that we'd all have to sell 50 bottles of their garbage perfume so we'd know what we'd be training OUR employees for we all hit the streets. For weeks we pounded pavement, knocked on doors, annoyed shopkeepers, all in name of getting this 'management' position. I was also sent with a co-worker on a 'business trip' out of state. Our expenses were to be covered by the *generous* 30.00 that our manager pulled out of his wallet. I talked him up to 50.00 but even that didn't cover one night in a hotel. But I got them back. Those first 50 bottles we had to sell (which, by the way, wasn't the end of it at all, they're so full of caca there it's wedged in between their teeth) I had my bf at the time buy them all using his credit card. I got my 500.00 commission check from the losers and scamsters who 'manage' the place. I cashed it, went shopping and 2 weeks later my bf contested the charges. His CC company wasted no time canceling the charge and crediting his account. My 'manager' called me in a rage and demanded I contact the credit card company and have them reinstate the charges. Told him it wasn't my credit card and I can't help what someone else does. I kept the check, boxes upon boxes of crappy perfume and went on my way to find a REAL job that actually pays quite a bit more than they were offering. So, if you want to get them back, at least a little, feel free to break the law yourself. I'm an honest moral person, but this was too much and I don't feel guilty or bad about any of it. Heck, maybe I'll go 'apply' again. ;)
