The company meeting you held? Which lasted an hour? The one you decided to conduct 15 minutes before I was about to get off? The meeting that was supposed to give your employees comfort from the fact that you told ALL of us not only to not cash our paychecks because they would bounce if we tried, but also that you terminated our health insurance without our knowledge? Well, it wasn’t very comforting. How dare you say, “We’re all in the same boat, I mean . . . did you see my car?” Which vehicle are you referring to? The Mercedes, the SUV, or your little Vespa? They all seemed fine to me. Feel free to give me one so that I can sell it to compensate for the paycheck that is worthless until who knows when. You turkey-neck, trust-fund-baby SOB! I don’t believe you are the devil, but you are surely one of his minions.

    The second comment from Irvine shows how anti-working class the city and its' residents are. I wish the writer mentioned the company by name, so I could be sure not spend my hard earned un-employment check there! LOL I hope you did attempt to cash the check and had it stamped "Not Sufficient Funds" as not attempting to cash a check does show the employer payed you your wages, you just did not try to cash it. Funny the employer had the forsight to cancel medical benefits, (They probably felt you were not entitled to them anyway) but could not see they would not have revenues to cover payroll. sounds criminal to me. There is a word that helps stop employers from pulling this, it is considered profanity in the good ol OC that word is UNION!

    Poor Form ...I guess you two got it figured out and are not planning on listing that company or this guy on your resume. I guess your current employer doesn't have gobble neck and would appreciate seeing these comments on how you left your last position and I guess your now aware of the social networks that employers are using to post their comments on past employees and how they left. I guess you got it all figured out that's why this is anonymous, just in case he doesn't have it figured out. The only thing I got figured is..life is short and a two way street !...you should just leave gracefully with some dignity even if you feel your past employer does not

    I worked there too, i HATED it, it is the worst place to ever work, the boss is a JOKE, he only cares for himself and he screws everyone over, he will milk you for EVERY dollar. He's a scumbag POS and he should be shut down. Oh yea, and he really does have a gobble neck.
