As a general rule I don't get involved in employer employee disputes because there is two sides to every issue and the gentleman who posted the report on Triangle T Guest Ranch only stated his perspective. However as a past employee of Triangle T and having had employees of my own in the past I felt in all fairness to Linda Kelly I should post a rebuttal to the ripoff report posted by fedupwiththebs.
First of all addressing the personal turnover at Triangle T one needs to be aware that the majority of the employees are seasonal. With all seasonal employment situations a mass personal turnover at the end of the season or job is the expectation of all parties concerned.
When I consider Linda Kelly's personal character I did not observe any of the petty, ignorant, childish or immature traits described by febupwiththebs. In fact I found Linda to be a very warm, kind hearted, honest and generous person.
Addressing Linda's customer relationships and managerial abilities let me point out that Linda has managed to purchase a guest ranch costing well into the six if not seven figures. This is not the accomplishment of a poor manager, poor management results "in absolutely no resources". Hence I believe that Linda is a better manager than fedupwiththebs and therefore I can't give any credibility to the accusations of mismanagement or poor customer relations.
There was also a complaint by fedupwiththebs that he "could do nothing right" and was attacked "for any tasks". Personally I find that extremely interesting due to the fact that 80% of my tasks as an employee at Triangle T was to correct the shoddy workmanship of previous employees. Additionally the owner Linda Kelly never found fault with any of the tasks or jobs I was assigned.
Reviewing the ripoff report of fedupwiththebs, and in view of my experiences with Linda Kelly, along with my experience as an employer in my opinion fedupwiththebs has a poor attitude, expected something for nothing and is unable to accept responsibility for his own actions. Thus he blames Linda Kelly or the world at large for his own failures.

The following email was received from Linda kelly regarding the fact that she has had some dissatisfied customers recently that have apparently posted bad reviews in various places around the internet. she wants to blame me for them. I replied to her silly a*s, telling her I would love to see her spend the money to sue me. The fact is that she has made her own situation and is suffering from her own actions. I didn't say anything here that isn't true, and didn't post any of the reviews this silly woman(b**CH) thinks i did. The joke will be on her silly a*s, let her spend all the money she has on a lawsuit that a(she can't win because the truth is on my side and b)can't collect from a judgment against me even if by some fluke she did win because I have absolutly no resources to take. Bring it on you silly b***h!!!! the email follows: "subject:potential lawsuit Linda Kelly To:[email protected] Bryan and Lisa, I am fully aware of the internet activity that you have launched and after checking with legal counsel, I have been informed that I have an excellent case against you for libel and defamation of character. I have attached the definition which precisely describes your activity. I am willing to not pursue this lawsuit if you comply with the following within 24 hours: Retract all negative e-mails, blogs or other internet communication that you have posted either from your e-mail addresses or from using anyone else's...I am aware you have several by your own admission. Verbal defamation is slander which I will also pursue if you do not cease and desist this acivity. Send me a record of all retractions. The fact that you were employed and assigned work involving computer communication for the ranch forbids you to act in the manner you have chosen. You are in serious violation of the law and the choice is yours. If you do not retract and cease and desist your activity within 24 hours , I will immediately begin legal action to the ful extent of the law." I hope someone besides me gets a great deal of amusement out of this. The fact is that this woman is continuing to blame me, just like she did when I was there, for her own short-comings.
