Printsmith Inc AKA Copyking Ripoff Employees company Clearwater Florida

Haven't been paid yet either.  Wow suppose those happy x employees are really the owner?

Or if you are the happy x employee, you can pay mine since he will pay you and you can collect my money owed. 2 weeks pay please.

I also am still waiting for my paycheck, since 2010!  And if Neil is such an upstanding gentleman, why would he scream and rant to an employee about how cash-strapped he is and how his marriage is falling apart, in addition to not paying?

I never met his wife, so I will not pass judgement there, but Neil is no gentlemen, nor a good businessman.

Still here waiting for my paycheck from these fine upstanding business people who were fighting for their "Very life"

sure while using others and not paying them.

Well, tell you what....if Neil and Michelle are such nice people then prove it by paying the 3 weeks of pay that he owes us and I will retract everything that I've stated. Even if it's in payments and he keeps up with it, then I'll work with him on being compensated. Dale can get in touch through Linked In and we will deal with him. Sincerely, Mat & Lisa.

I do not agree.  I am also an ex-employee of copy king/printsmith and all i can say is that neil stein and his family are some of the nicest people that you can work for.  neil and michelle would never purposly not pay an employee. neil , like many small employers, was fighting for his very life and his company's life in the past few years.  he had a severe cash flow problem of his customers not wanting or not being able to pay him on time and thus some employees inadvertantly got hurt by bouncing checks.  this was not done on purpose.  to some of the disgruntled employees that have bad things to say about neil and michelle: i have seen many employees hired and totally misrepresent themselves as to their capabilities and experience - in other words, they weren't even worth minimum wage.  in much better times, neil never had a problem paying us, giving us health insurance, buying us lunch on occasion and giving us an exceptional christmas bonus.  unfortunately, offset printing on paper is a dying trade and neil was trying very hard to keep his business afloat in an extremely challenging economic period from 2007 to 2011. true, no employee likes to get a bad check, however, this was never done on purpose or spite by neil or michelle.  I can only hope that their business has stabilized and they perhaps have found a new niche in the printing field and hopefully will prosper instead of floundering.  we had MANY loyal and repeat customers, no matter what our name was or what our address was.  no small business owner wants to get a bad reputation around town, especially in this day and age when there is plenty of competition around.  the economy was and still is responsible for many nasty things and unfortunately neil got caught up in this nasty recession that has probably changed things forever. in many people's book, including my own, neil is an O.K. guy. 

Well it's nice to see that you wrote your own reply Neil rather than have your wife do it for you. I posted my response the first time following the guidelines of stating what I believe and know as the truth. Apparently, you still have no clue as to what the definition is.

A business does not move around to 4 places in 5 years and change their names 3 times just because they enjoy the scenery elsewhere - especially a printing company. Call yourself Copy King or call yourself Printsmith now, I notice how you conveniently left out your other company name, Countryside Press. Would you care to explain how you stiffed employees out of paychecks and bounced several others paychecks then claimed they never worked for you when contacted by authorities?

I don't have to give my name because you probably have an idea who it is and I have nothing to gain although I could've and should've taken you to court but I know it would be a waste of time because you'd never pay. Maybe I should post it and wait for your slanderous response then proceed legally. As far as putting your number up there, what's that going to prove? You can lie on the phone too?

As for your many long-time employees, (they amount to maybe 2) and after listening to them, I wouldn't exactly call them my "friends."
