Weedman scam lies fraud numbered company deceptive practices dangerous poisons confidence game Ottawa, Ontario
I worked for weed man. It was the wost experiance I ever had. This company told me that they were 'Weed Man' but legaly was just a numberd company 'Ontario 1234567890' aka Weed Man. The numbers change 2 times per year to avoid getting listed with bbb.
During training I was exposed to extreamly toxic chemicals for 3 hours per evening, as training was done in the chemical storage room. We were told the chemicals were safe, but as it turns out they were not. (They may be safe for laws, but not safe to breath for 3 hours!!!)
My main complaint is not that I was told to lie to people and force them to sign up for services(via phone) that they didn't wan't (as we were taught to lie, to some extent,to all potential consumers during training); but rather that when I quit, the company refused to pay me for training.
The company stated that I signed a paper saying that I would only be paid for training when bonuses were paid 3 months later. I still quit, the working environment was absolutly atrosious, and the supervisors were abusive.
3 months later, no training pay.
2 years later, no training pay.
I now know that what the company did was illegal, and they know it. The company required us to take there training and legally was required to pay us. We cannot waive our rights to receive training pay, since this would put us below minimum wage in some cases, but also for other legal reasons aswell.
Anyway, Weed Man gave me a bad experiance, didn't pay me. And altimately forced me to tell lies until I quit.
As for the "Training Pay", you did this to everyone, feel free to rebuttle *ricks.
