These guys used shady tactics and intimidation to get me to take a job at Presbyterian Homes, now called Springpoint. First, they promised to give me part of their commission to take the job. Also, Springpoint, could not meet my salary demands and offered to bump me up after a waiting period, which was in hindsight was a ruse and not going to happen. Springpoint and the headhunters also sold me on qualifying for vacation time right away without going through a new hire period.
The headhunters also strangely kept relaying this "It's always good not to burn your bridges because you don't know how it's going to come back on you." monologue as some sort of intimidation tactic. This had red flags all over it. Admittedly, I was really naive, and I took the job. My first week, I had a number of staff walking up to meet me and openly joking "How long is this guy going to stay." followed by laughing. I'm serious!
With Christmas coming up, I naturally wanted to go home for the holidays. Since I was from an area an eight hour drive away, I decided to use the immediate vacation eligibility benefit and ask for a week off. I tempered the request with it is OK for them to say "no" considering I had just started working for them. So, they had an easy "out". Next thing I know, I'm pulled into a conference room and yelled at by the Assistant Controller, my direct boss.
As this was only my sixth day of employment, I decided that things weren't looking good and pursued other employment options, coasting until I was able to find another job. Called Fortis and asked them to get me out of there. Instead, I was gaslighted by their manager/owner, that Frankee guy, and told I should not have asked for time off because it was "protocol" for being new to the company. So, even though I was told I qualified for time off right away, it was the holidays, and it wasn't a busy time in the office, I was wrong for asking for it! Meanwhile, Springpoint got under one of my colleagues skin one day, which resulted in a yelling match out on the floor in the middle of the business day. Later, at the end of the day, HR came and walked the person out. Subsequently, I was mushroomed by my other colleagues that worked in my unit.
The girl that was training me would rudely look at me and roll her eyes when I didn't pick something up right away. However, to her credit I wasn't trying at that point considering I was shortly on my way out. When I finally secured another job offer after another four weeks, I gave them notice but told them I was going on vacation Christmas week. Garrett Midget, who was the Director of Finance, got mad, pulled me in his office, and told me to leave. Then, he watched me and glared as I wrapped up my desk and grabbed my things like I was some sort of criminal. I'm amused when companies think they have a right to be upset when they are clearly to blame for these type of incidents. It's like they were mad that I won.
Why shouldn't companies be held accountable for their actions like employees are? As I was driving home, got two calls from Fortis Consulting, one from the headhunters and another from his supervisor, who left long rambling messages chewing me out. This was in the days before you could delete voice messages without starting to listen it. So, both messages were deleted within the first second of playback.
I knew they were rambling and angry because of the length of the messages shown on the phone and the yelling I barely heard with the phone held away from my ear. Again, I was really amused by this. What was the point of that? What was accomplished by doing that? I clearly wasn't ever using these guys again nor putting this place on my resume.
Half the problem was Springpoint was a bad place to work, but half of it was they all were just nasty New Jersians. The time I lived in that area was the worst two years of my adult life. I moved back to DC the following summer. I've also more than doubled my salary since working there with no problem with Fortis ruining my reputation. As far as I'm concerned, everyone got what they deserved.
