Before I accepted the full time position I attempted to find out if Hollern and his organization were legitimate. Your organization did not have a record of any complaints against Hollern. All of his employees confirmed that his organization were everything Hollern claimed. They all claimed to be “fat and happy” as Hollern used to say. Once I had signed my contracts and was working for Hollern full time, one of my jobs was to meet with each corporate employee 30 minutes each week to check their progress on goals and work assignments. These sessions immediately became 30 minute bitching sessions by the employees about Hollern and his company. Multiple problems were brought to my attention by the employees that had acted “fat and happy” just weeks before. The employees thought that since I had been brought in to run the company on a daily basis that I could fix all of their complaints and problems. This was a mistake as the Uncle Paul Corporation was a true dictatorship. Nothing could happen without Hollern’s knowledge and approval. Multiple financial problems (bonuses and bills not being paid) and questionable clinical procedures were brought to my attention. This in combination with attending the material covered in the classes caused me to realize after 6 weeks that I had made a severe mistake. I began looking to get out. I wrote my letter of resignation and then held it when Hollern claimed in a staff meeting that he was committed to improving his system and financial situation. I thought I would stick it out for a year while looked for another position. On January 7, 2004 employee Sharon Johnson confronted me about her retirement funds being misappropriated. Hollern through his chief financial officer Michelle Clark had been withdrawing 15% from Mrs. Johnson’s pay check and the funds had never been deposited into an account for her. This practice had already been brought to my attention by Betsy Smith the human resource person for the corporation. Mrs. Smith told me in early November of 2003 that Hollern had not put the retirement in the appropriate account for almost 2 years and owed her a large amount of back pay in the form of bonuses. After the conversation with Mrs. Smith Hollern talked to her and she later told me she was willing to wait longer because Hollern had promised to pay and with interest if she would wait until the company was over the financial crisis. Mrs. Johnson was not willing to wait. She had already consulted an attorney and she demanded to be paid within a week. She said she did not intend to stay with the company and wanted her money before she left. When I discussed the situation with Michelle Clark CFO she said, “If he pays hers then he has to pay mine and Betsy’s”. She then stated to the dollar how much Hollern owed all of them in retirement funds that had never been deposited and bonuses. She would later deny any money was owed and that Mrs. Johnson’s situation was a simple mistake. Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20
