HD Omaha Harvest Development I, II and III Convoluted Crooks Omaha Nebraska

Contrary to the spin Jim Rich puts on reviews by his critics, this is not a report by a disgruntled employee.  This is a report to warn any future potential employees, business partners or renters how Jim Rich operates his business.

I was hired by and reported directly to Jim Rich.  I worked hard to set out goals for the first 90 days so I could be successful in my job at HD Omaha.  This lasted for about 30 days and after that, nothing was good enough for Mr. Rich.

Soon after I started to work for Jim Rich he revealed to me that he has aspbergers.  This did not deter me from continuing to work for Jim Rich because I have an honorary nephew with aspbergers who is attending UNO on a Regent's Scholarship.  

I was under contract to purchase a house and used a real estate agent that Jim Rich purchased approximately 100 houses from.  The agent's wife was Guatemalan and the real estate agent told me that every time he showed Jim a house he would ask "How man Guatemalan's can I get in here?"

I was approved for a mortgage from a local community bank.  When the bank officer found out I worked for HD Omaha he informed me that he had to deny Mr. Rich a loan on the Ekard Court project because the company was set up in a way that it was too risky of an investment for the bank.

When the local community bank called Jim Rich for employement verification the day before I was to close, Mr. Rich fired me in an act of retaliation to keep me from closing on the house.  I formally invited Mr. Rich to participate in Mediation which is a cost effective, non-contentious form of dispute resolution.  Further, I gave Mr. Rich the opportunity to pick the mediator and I offered to pay for half of all the associated costs myself.  Mr. Rich chose to retaliate and fire me instead.

This is an honest, factual and true rebuttal.  I strongly recommend that anyone thinking about working for or renting from Jim Rich or HD Omaha consider all available options before getting into a situation where you will be treated unfairly and retaliated against.
