Meineke car care West Melbourne Angeline Ent. DON'T GET PUT IN HOSPITAL AND KEEP YOU JOB West Melbourne, Florida

A former disgruntled employee wrote this and is angry he lost his job. I have been in business for 21 years and this is the first time ever having this happen. I have many long term employees and even the ones that are gone left on good terms. With the exception to a few but none like this one. He has made it a point to try to hurt my reputation and has insulted my integrity. The truth is he was under performing and not able to handle the job and one month prior it was discussed and was I trying another manager for a week, after trying that manager I thought that my current employee was worthy of a second chance and decided to let the new manager go and try the one that wrote this complaint for awhile to see if he could get the job done. Then shortly after I was asked for medical leave of eight weeks and granted it to him explaining that I would bring in a replacement a week prior for training and he understood at that time as I can’t run the store without a manager. After the first weekend of being off and a replacement in place as we agreed, he tells me he don’t need the time off I explained that I hired someone that was taken from another job and needed to allow a couple weeks for me to see how I would accommodate the positions with him and the new hired manager thinking maybe I would move them from one store to the other he understood at that time. After the first week he asked me if I had decided anything and I replied I needed another week, (actually five days) I was told that wasn’t going to work and he became angry and told me karma would get me and he wasn’t done with this. I never told him he didn’t have a job anymore until that moment as he got angry and made threats I said I guess that decides it then. As for the hours he claims to have worked we are only open a max of 63 hours per week of which he was schedules off one day making the hours he was working 47.5  per week with his half hour lunch and a couple breaks per day that he may or may not have taken but was always supposed to. He was not fired from his so called hospital bed he was only released in my office in person  with others right outside the door and as he left he told them he no longer was employed . His employment ended  only after demanding a decision to be made on his employment at that moment in which I wasn’t prepared to do at that time and based on his request  didn’t expect to have him back for seven more weeks per his request.  He has not been honest and calling me names supports his character. I will say That I pride myself on honesty, and integrity  I have never ripped anyone off or allowed anyone that worked for me to, I have always put the customer and my employees first and all that know me and my company as well as my employees (except for this one)will vouch for this. Please don’t let this effect your opinion of me or my stores come in and see for yourself we are here to help and will never cross the line for any reason no greed or integrity issues here you will see.  I hire qualified and competent  ASE certified help and credentials are displayed in my waiting area of each store. We have serviced over 80,000 cars since my ownership and have very few complaints during that time, Meineke corporate can tell you if you would like to know more call them at 1-800-275-5200 or visit meineke.com feel free to contact me at 321-676-0566 Thank You, Mark Angeline owner of Angeline Enterprises Inc. dba Meineke Car Care of West Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida
