Fort Worth,#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Well, I will have to say that the guy commenting about the girlfriend working there... not so smart... If this were an issue why are you reporting and complaining and not your girlfriend. Also if you sign up for telephone sales and they give you rules and guidelines to START out with, that was the choice you made in taking the job. To do what the company entails you to do... However; I do agree that this company cares as much about their employees as they do the dirt they step on. I was employed with the company and did adhere to the peculiar things they asked for. Yet after working there for a month I was in a car wreck which hospitalized me for a few days and caused me to be in a cast and crutches. I provided SPN with all the proper documentation needed to prove that this was an emergency situation causing me to miss work. I arrived at the office 4 or 5 days later to speak with the owner and general manager about the situation. I wanted to continue employment with the company and told them that any future check up's or doctors appointments this would cause I would schedule off company time. I would not miss work to get to any of the appointments. This was apparently not going to fly with them. Even after recieving medical documents and photos proving the accident. They terminated me and ended my employment.

As a business owner who previously used SPN I see NOTHING WRONG with the way your "girlfriend" was treated. If you are on the phone reprtesenting a business and your customer raises his/her voice to you, SO WHAT. If you start to cry every time that happens you need to find a position elsewhere. The fact that you wrote in and not your girlfriend proves that she was not right for the position. If you are going to blame the sales manager for anything blame him for hiring your girlfriend in the first place. Just GROW UP!!!!
