I worked for Pipeline Media Group owned by Tracee Mcafee Gates as a caller in the call center. I possessed other skills also as a Web Designer and Video Grapher. After a while of working there people started to find out that I knew how to design Websites and edit commercials. My skills had grabbed the intension of one of the company owners.

He gave me a promotion and moved me to a office downstairs and put me to work doing web design. After moving downstairs and getting my promotion I sensed a lot of discomfort. Alot of negative energy derived from other co-worker. Most of my work was claimed to clients as done by someone else in the company. "Passing my work off as theirs".

I never said anything because I was so happy just to have a job and having income coming in to take care of my family. At this present time the company was going through a company split. The other owner had decided to sell his share of the company. Co-workers and upper management started taking sides. Which I could care less about, all I wanted to do was work to put food on the table. After the other owner left the situation got worse. On two different occasion I was harassed and experienced racist jesters.

In the middle of a company meeting Steve Troutman VP of Sales for Pipeline Media and Video for Profit called me a crack head in front of the whole company because I asked a question about something that I didn't understand.

One morning when I came into my office I had "Go home, your work here is done, and signed by a individual named n**i" with a n**i symble on my smart board. I wasn't too thrilled about that so, I went to talk to Tracee Mcafee Gates and Mike Lemier the new owner about the situation.

I pulled them into my office and I showed them what was done and they said that Steve Troutman was just playing around and I said just like the "crack head " thing in the meeting? How in the hell is that a joke? Mike Lemier and Tracee Mcaffee Gates told me if I didn't like it leave and then they both walked out of my office. I told them that I couldn't do that I have 6 kids to feed. They wouldn't fire me so I could collect Unemployment. They didn't even care that I had kids and a family. Mrs. Gates and Mike Lemiere basically shitted on my whole existence. I had no money to take legal action on top of that Tracee Mcafee Gates has millions from home shopping networks and video production, this situation would never stand a chance against her dream team of lawyers. So, I just quit.

I hate this company with every ounce of my being. I wouldn't advise anyone to work for this company or hire them for any reason. It takes them 4 months to role out projects and most of there work is outsourced. Meaning, not done in the building or designed by them. I'm pretty shore that there are others out there just like me that worked for them and got shitted on. "DON'T TRUST THEM".

Cedric Campbell...aka...Sean Dean...Spreading Deceit, Slander and Lies

AUTHOR: Company Owners And Employees - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 16, 2008

We are saddened and dismayed that Cedric Campbell would post something as preposterous as this. He was one of our favorite employees and had so much potential. Unfortunately, he has been lured by our former business partner, Daniel Unsworth. The Cedric we knew would never have written such harmful slander and lies. We discovered Cedric's potential early in his employment, and he was quickly promoted. We didn't care that he had overwhelming personal issues. We just believed that if we stuck by him, he would recover. He was given unlimited time off, an opportunity for a free apartment, and permission to nap during the day in the CEO's office so he could feel better. We even offered to sponsor a fundraiser for his seriously ill brother in attempt to save his life.

We called Cedric several times after he resigned in attempt of persuading him to come back. His deceit became apparent just days later when we discovered Cedric was working and living with our former business partner, Daniel Unsworth. It became evident they conspired to start a competing company in conjunction with Larry Whitlock and David Fonseca, former owners of The Prosperity Shopping Network. Daniel and Cedric are under Non-Compete agreements with us, but hold it in no regard. We are aggressively pursuing legal action against all parties involved.

We at PMG are proud of our company for its professionalism and passion for the industry. In our combined 60 years of business experience, not a single member of our Executive team has ever had anything negative said about us on the Internet. It is sad that a posting such as this makes us have to defend ourselves. We are not racists in any way, shape, or form. Our company is incredible; successful, talented, fun, vibrant, open, honest, and most of all caring to all who work here.

We welcome anyone to call us at 330-477-2100 or visit our company for more information. We are glad to share the mountains of overwhelming, hard evidence against those who have harmed us and threaten the livelihoods of honest, hard working people. The truth speaks for itself.

The Executive Team at PMG
