I got a call today from a job seeker (aka disgruntled former employee) of a company who posted an ad on one of my boards. It was for a sales rep position. The ad itself is fine and describes the job and related commissions you would earn. The job seeker asked me to take the ad down because; 1. she worked for them and they defaulted on paychecks and were late with many 2. she said the commissions stated on the job posting are "lies" 3. the business owner also has defaulted on payments to a numb… Continue
