Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I inquired about a job with these people.  

Peter Johnson, who refers to himself as "The Management" but is the principle in the business, sent me a canned answer stating the following:

"increasing your sales with Reverse Layaway by offering you $100 off of your set-up fee which covers the programming and encryption of your hardware/software and is normally $320....but for you it's only $220."

I replied with, "Why would I pay YOU to sell YOUR products?"

He sent the nastiest email back that started out like this: "Perhaps your native intelligence is low or your intellectual quality is simply not that high, but clearly your reading comprehension alone disqualifies you from the position we are looking fill."  Mind you,  they aren't looking "to fill" the position only "fill" it.

Then he denied asking for money saying:  "We ask for no investment into our company from anyoneclearly a very pertinent fact you missed."

Then he threatened me with legal action if I contacted them again. I promptly replied to his email and as a favor,  I corrected his grammar and punctuation. No charge. 

I am still wondering what he meant by "Your Native Intelligence".  Did he mean, because I'm an American, a woman, a southerner or perhaps he assumed a particular race? THAT is something I would surely like to know.

The first 14 words of the title of your post are a lie.  That's a fact.

If this was a personal issue for you, then why did you bring my company into it?  Your intentions are clear to everyone who reads this.

From your own FaceBook Page (which you have since redacted): "Ya know! and I don't have a job right now. I can job hunt in the morning and dedicate my afternoons warning small business owners about them!".  This clearly shows your intent to harm my company, not me personally. 

I realize that someone like you that thinks far higher of herself than she should is going to feel a little bruising on your ego when you are called out as the person who made such a stupid mistake.  But that's no reason to go around spreading lies and a criminal libel and slander campaign because we told you that you are not intelligent enough to work with us.

The email you cite is a reaction to at least 5 emails you sent us within a 5 minute time span.  Your mental stability is in question.

I'm not, but even if I WAS the biggest a*****e in the world, you still have no right to go around and tell lies about my company.  There are large consequences for doing so.  Soon, being unemployed will be the least of your worries.

You're right--this IS America.  And I love my country.  And as far as I'm concerned, anyone can do anything they want--as long as they don't harm anyone else.  You have harmed us by posting lies out of spite in a clear attempt--with the intent--to harm us.

You're out in left field Monica, but I would agree with you on one thing: a point HAS been made and is obvious to any reader of this exchange that your actions were over the top and you are angry with yourself for making such stupid mistakes and also at us for telling you the way it really is and you are attempting to penalize us for our brutal honesty.

You're not done with this by a long shot Monica...

First of all, READ. Breathe and Read, sir. I said exactly what happened. How am I lying? Read sir.

Secondly, I don't care. You are not important enough to continue to take up time in my daily life.

Here is the truth. You are completely unprofessional. We both agree that I sent you an email that said, "Why would I pay YOU to sell YOUR products." If you take time to READ, you will see that i put that in my initial report.   Here is where we have a difference of opinion...so I will just post what you wrote. You say it's being "HONEST", I say it's rude and unprofessional. 





Ms. Doucet: 

Perhaps your native intelligence is low or your intellectual quality is simply not that high, but clearly your reading comprehension alone disqualifies you from the position we are looking fill. Your email is out of line for someone asking for a joband very weak.  

We ask for no investment into our company from anyoneclearly a very pertinent fact you missed. 

DO NOT CONTACT US AGAINthis is your first and final notice. If you are ever head of again, we will file legal papers. Sincerely, The Management. PSask for no explanationshire a lawyer to explain it to you if you must, but DO NOT EVER contact us againyou are now on notice

I think we can both agree that I promptly corrected your punctuation and questioned your composition skills.

When you make it your business to call other peoples' intelligence into question, at least double check your work.   This is America sir. You don't get to say what you want and then scream for a lawyer to shut the other person up.   

I do not know who you are or where you are from. I have my suspicions.  Instead of angrily answering this message with venom and more unprofessional behavior, take a breath and ACTUALLY READ this exchange from beginning to end.

You're claiming I'm lying. I am lying about nothing, sir.  I posted what I said, just like I posted what you said. 

I have said NOTHING about your service. I have posted my experience with YOU. 
I am not being vindictive. I am practicing my right to free speech.

You are very quick to start talking about litigation. What are YOU trying to hide? I will not waste anymore time on you. YOU have made my point to anyone who reads this exchange.  

Take Care

That you, Monica Doucet, are a vindictive, spiteful person who is not telling the truth.  You, Monica Doucet, are lying about us and the way we do business and you, Monica Doucet, are intentionally casting aspersions upon our firm which is very well-recognized in the business community.  Our customers love us--we don't have a single unsatisfied customer.  Not one.

And our product is incredible and helps businesses generate large amounts of additional sales (perhaps if your family-owned print shop had it you wouldn't have gone out of business)--that's why you wanted to work for us.

Your poor judgement, lack of understanding of basic Internet technologies, and low level of reading comprehension are what have put you in the dire position you are in.

You should have simply used some common sense.

Good luck to you. Have a great day!

The Real Story

#9REBUTTAL Owner of company

Fri, March 30, 2012

Monica Doucet (monicadoucet @ live.com) is unemployed and looking for a job.  She discovered a position we have open (we are small and growing fast in today's economy) and emailed us her resume.  Instead of waiting for a response, she immediately filled out the form on our Web site for prospective customers to receive a free report about how our product benefits them by increasing their sales virtually overnight.  Upon receiving the automated email we send to prospective customers that fill out this form (which includes a discount to them if they become customers in a certain time frame), Monica Doucet incorrectly assumed that because we charge our customers a fee for our product that somehow we charge a fee to people that work for us.  We do not do this and we never have.  Unfortunately for Monica, I own the company and know how we operate--she does not (although she'll attempt to convince you otherwise!).

We have no idea how she came to this incorrect conclusion since she signed up as a prospective customer and falsified to us that she was in the medical/legal professional services field in order to receive the report, and this is the root of the problem.   

Someone that cannot tell the difference between a Web-based customer request for a free report that comes with a coupon for prospective customers and asking for a job--in today's Internet Age--is clearly not intelligent enough to effectively represent our product.  This is the first impression she gave us.

She sent us an email with her resume and then minutes later filled out the request for the free report and then moments after that sent us at least 4 emails with the words "Why would I pay YOU to sell YOUR products?".  Not the best way to make an impression on an employer you are seeking a job from--especially when you are WRONG.  But it's a perfect red flag to identify people that just aren't that intelligent.  So thank you Monica for screening yourself out for us.

Since we saw that she had zero sales experience (which is what the position entails) and her only experience EVER was working in a family-owned printing business, it was clear in seconds that she did not warrant any further inspection.  But...

When we were honest with her about the reason we were not going to hire her--her low IQ--she became vindictive and spiteful and has been criminally posting incorrect information about us such as above.

To give you an idea of the level this woman is operating on, she sent us this: 

My "Native Intelligence" includes excellent social networking skills. I'm about to blast you all over the internet. YOU are unprofessional and YOU did infer that you were charging me money for this job....but hey...Let's allow the other folks on the internet to decide.  I'm sure one or two of them have enough "intelligence" to figure this thing out.

You should really take an English composition class before you start emailing, accusing people of a lack of intelligence. .I took the liberty of correcting some of it for you. You should take advantage of the favor.  Perhaps next time you won't seem uneducated as opposed to just being unprofessional."

She actually went through my email and made numerous incorrect changes and then directly failed to apply the same grammatical and punctuation rules to her own correspondence.  She's simply petty.

Now that she has begun a criminal campaign of libel and slander against us online, we--as we told her up front--will be taking action against her.

Anyone with any common sense can see her intent to libel and slander us as racists/sexists/foreign xenophobes at the end of her posting.  This page will be evidence in court.

By the way, Monica, "native intelligence" means "common sense".

And we'll stand by our position that you have none.

See you in court Monica.

This is the response he sent me about my complaints.

"You have done nothing but prove my point as to how incredibly low your IQ is by wasting your own time on a futile task that will not benefit you in any way.  And now your ignorance and harassment activities shall be rewarded with legal action as promised.  Go watch TV and leave the adults alone before I post this exchange online and let the world see how ignorant you truly are."
