A new revelation came to light regarding my former employer.
My boss was the company owner of a garage storage and closet renovation business. We were highly successful, built a brand of trust and over 80 5 star Google reviews. He pissed all the money away.
He chased the “rich” lifestyle. Golf outings, rubbing elbows with the richest people he could, taking out expensive radio ads to brag, tried to open up new business with no game plan 'hoping' it would work out.
He spent the money as fast as it came in, and as a result was expecting me (a salary employee) to work 6 days a week to keep the company going. I wasn't having that and left in October.
I now find out that he's a raging alcoholic, substance abuser, a wife beater, a habitual liar, and a pretender.
The last lie that caught up to him: “I'm quitting my job to focus 100% on the growth of the company.” No, he was fired from his job coordinating beer deliveries (which he was failing at spectacularly).
His younger brother, who was a part of the company, even told me. “Dude, if it wasn't for your ability to plan and organize, the company would have failed sooner.”
Special edit: He's over a million dollars in debt. I don't see buying anything from him as a viable idea.
