Be careful when dealing with Rick May, the owner of May Day. He does not treat his employees well and has a very poor memory.  He makes promises to his employees and conveniently forgets them when timing isn't good for him. Employee morale is poor and affects pride and performance on the job. Employee turnover is high and that is a good representation of poor management skills. 

Good example: Rick May promised an employee the week of Christmas 2014 off (without pay) 6 months in advance of the holiday and was reminded no less than three times prior to the Holiday so the employee's family could confirm their non-refundable travel plans (the employee's wife has stage 4 breast cancer).

 Rick May told that employee December 18th that if he didn't come to work Christmas week 2014, the week Rick May had pre-approved months in advance as unpaid days off, today, Rick May fired the employee because the employee couldn't change his family plans for Christmas 2014 at this late day...the employees' family is heartbroken. Rick May told this employee that this employee works for him at his business, and he (Rick)  makes the rules and he could change them how and when he liked. If the employee can't change with them when Rick needs him to...then he is fired. So Rick fired the employee because he couldn't change his family's Christmas travel plans at such a late notice.

 Yes Rick May, you do make the rules in your business. However, potentional Customers can also ~choose~ to do business with you or not just as easily. Happy Holidays Rick May!

 I happen to believe potential Customers do care how Business Owners treat their employees because those same employees are doing the work for potential customer's particular project.  Potential customers also read online reviews of business' to discover just this sort of information.

 I don't do business with double minded men because my Higher Power tells me to think twice about it -"An indecisive man is unstable in all his ways"; James 1:8, Holman Christian Standard Bible

AUTHOR: mayday2016 - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, February 20, 2016

Simply put, this person was laid off from a seasonal job.  They were hired with the understanding that this was not a permanent position.  There were several instances of being late and under-performing.  He damaged the company truck and incurred thousands of dollars in damage to the truck and private property.  The person (and his wife who made the complaint) misunderstood that we needed them for the holiday and then when we could not give the time off, they were let go.  After all of this, we did not try and fight the unemployment.   We let him collect for the full term to try and help him get back on his feet.   We have no hard feelings, but this person’s wife has put this same review on every single site that they could find in order to hurt our business.  It has nothing to do with our work and was just spiteful.  Mayday didn't do anything that any other business owner would have done for an employee in these circumstances.
