Complaint Review: Ms. Baubles + Sam Staton + Marvin Griffin - Vernon Hills Illinois

I have been working for these two men for the past few months. I shouldn't have ignored the warning sign of the owners openly giving names and stories of current and prior employees and their personal and professional business including if they were terminated and why. Sam and Marvin told me all about two prior employees leaving.

They claimed that Susan left for medical reasons for 7 months and then wanted a raise in order to come back and having to say no in frustration after holding her job for her for all those months and claiming their month long pre-done schedule came as a result of her screwing them over. They also talked about this girl, Tiffany, taking advantage of their kindness and being late everyday and them having to eventually let her go.

Both employees have since come back too ironically after they'd trashed them both to everyone they interviewed and hired for all these months. I was since falsely terminated with copies of emails and instant messages in my hand to date of the relevent conversations pertaining to my pre-notice to quit and their reaction to it (firing me immediately).

These men have since banned me from their two stores and told everyone that I was fired and why (all lies). They have now violated my right to privacy as well. I know you're thinking that if I'd known they did it to others then I should've known they'd do it to me and you are right. I just want to warn others because not only do your private or false allegations statements involving you come up in interviews with perfect strangers they hire or don't hire and casual conversation around the stores but they also come up in staff meetings of all levels.

No one is safe. This poor gentleman that was on the verge of ending his notice of leaving was the brunt of a ton of negative pot shots and statements. He was made a fool of in front of everyone. Had he been there then he would've been crushed. How much of it was true too? They're lying about me all over the place and so are their staff members to them about me.

I had a few false statements said about me calling people that I didn't even have their number to call and only called two times when the owners had told me to call and handful of times other than that over 3 months (which my innocence can be proven by investigating phone records) and another saying I disrespected and abused her one day horrifically (another employee validating the fact that it was I who was abused and not the false accuser).

No truth was investigated, noted or apologized for. I was actually raged on by the owner, Sam, prior to and around 10 minutes into the start of my s**t (20-30 minutes altogether to be exact) claiming that if I'd ever done it again I'd be instantly fired (abusing other employees) despite the fact that he only had hearsay to base this on and one person's statement and I had mine and a co-workers statement to base my innocence on.

Watch your back and don't ever trust that your privacy will be protected especially if it's blatent provable lies!!! These men don't know how to run any business only a cady, mean deceitful "click" that if you don't fit it then you' and your reputation are toast whether by telling private business related facts of why you left and details and/or blatent lies.

A helpful warning as one friend to another...
