Mostly a vent. I am currently on disability for mental issues, and they don’t give me much at all to live, so I figured I would try to work an under the table job to try to make a little extra, to survive, and keep my insurance so I could stay in therapy. I got lucky because an old acquaintance/friend of mine, has a family partaking in running a business, and I Had worked for them before. When I started things seemed to be going well. I had laid out how much I can work because of my disability and number of appointments, and everyone seemed understanding, first two weeks flew by. Week three my friend says she’ll be going on vacation to Florida with her step brother, and is leaving her sister, who was supposed to be “supervisor” in charge to work with us. Making 4 of us left…
Graduated law school last year. Got a job as a law clerk after I took the bar exam in August with a part time professor I had at his firm doing a mix of criminal and civil and family cases. Started off great, he was very supportive and friendly and complimented me a lot and said I was doing great. Even said he wanted to train me to take over the firm in 10 years. Said that after I pass the bar I'll get the associate attorney job. I find out I passed the bar in mid November, and I get business cards with associate attorney on them, and boss tells me he's got an offer letter coming my way. December comes and still no letter, ask him about it, says he will get to it after this big criminal trial he's doing. All this time I'm not hearing anything…
Anyone work for/used to work for a certain family-owned California-based organic produce home delivery service? I have dirt about their practices. Like, the VP of sales was a felon who has been arrested for selling meth in both 2020 and 2022. Ongoing major staff abuse and safety violations. Multiple several assaults. Operating without permits or insurance. Lying about where the products come from. Endless lawsuits. At least one death. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m absolutely dying to share my story with former employees.
