I was pretty careful when I dropped over 40 private students to work for this guy, but apparently I was not careful enough. He worked on me for about a year to come and work for him. He made verbal promises in front of witnesses (dumb thing to do) and lied about each and systematically every one of them.
I first had an inlking of this problem when the boss's slimy girlfriend kept trying to find out how much money I made (and THIS at a dinner party I had at my house prior to employment that given was in his honor, and for which he and she showed up over 2 and a half hours late for with no phone call or explanation! Well, that's just boorish behavior. But WAIT! There's MORE!) I told the grilfriend I would be happy to discuss that information with Wayne, my future boss, at an appropriately private time in an effort to come to terms on a fair hourly figure, but I told her that it was inappropriate for her to ask me. I think he finally made her stop.
No too long after I began working there, his mentally unstable girfriend began calling and coming in and giving me things to do in an imperious tone of voice! I finally had to say, " Now you know, it is impossible for me to take instruction from two people at the same time and do a good job, especially diametrically opposed instruction. (She did not know that word...) Wayne is my boss and I am going to have to abide by his wishes."
I asked the boss whether Norma Gomez was on his corporate papers in an effort to clarify exactly who I was working for. He told me she was. Then, a few months later (I think he forgot, which was a frequent occurrence), he told me she was not. I have since googled the corporate papers (which I had already seen in his office anyway in the course of work) and of course, she is not a corporate officer or agent. BIG surprise. Also, his corporate status is not in good standing. 'nother big surprise. What? Did he think I was unable to ascertain this information myself?
Once, "she" called me from the car when they were on the road. I was still at work and it was about 1am (also a frequent occurrence at that time), and she imperiously dictated that I make reservations right then and there for a hotel for them in California (yeh. business trip. right), only she didn't give me any of the information I needed to do it. (She's not very bright.) She did not say please; she did not apologize for the lateness; she just braked orders like a Mexxican Chihuahua) and expected me to drop what I was doing.
Believe it or not, I was tired enough to actually try to do it for the boss (not her). Of course, trying to accomplish this meant calling back and forth to her cell phone (she claimed he was driving, though it had never stopped him from doing dangerous things before like calling or texting while driving...in fact, he brags about it). I eventually gave up trying to get the information from her (like credit card #s, frequent flyer stuff because she can barely make a cohesive sentence) and told her that it was 1:30 am and I was going home. I told her she should have made the reservations in her copious spare time before they left. (She doesn't actually DO anything you see...except get her hair and feet and nails done...)
Her frustration to attempt to control me got so bad that one day, this poor thing called me and insisted that I do a certain thing a certain way, and when I told her the boss had just instructed me to do the opposite, she came UNGLUED on the phone. She hung up on me (because she was raised by WOLVES), and the next thing I knew, the boss's green car was screeching to a stop in front of the shop (and she left the car in the middle of the street...), and she was stopming in the office like the toddler demanding that I listen to her and do what she wanted. She started picking up piles of things on the desks and slamming them down and shouting, "I've never had anybody here who didn't do what I want!" I said, "Well, you have now, " and I walked out. I had already made it clear to my boss that I worked for him & the business, and that it would not work to take instruction from a second party, especially one I had not agreed to work for and who was incompetent to give such instruction and especially when those instructions were not in the best interest of the business. (He'd rather be henpecked by her than keep his business, I guess.) I did my best to provide structure and he and she did their best to undo anything that put any kind of legal or practical constraints on them. Well, you can lead a horse's ass to water, but...
Of course, since the boss was/is a toddler himself, he always refused to intervene. His excuse was "female hormones." Not inappropriate behavior, but "female hormones." He has not learned a thing as he seems incapable of doing so.
It would be a BAD idea for anyone with a brain and central nervous system to work for this guy until or unless he actually gets serious about his business. I am sorry to say that I do n't see that happening.
