Interesting. I certainly wouldn't want to work in that environment.

 

[vvvvvvv]

So... does that mean the vanity publisher will be gone soon?

I have a feeling that Tate is going to be on the other side of a lawsuit very soon. He essentially admits that some of the people will be losing their jobs without cause.

I listened to the audio from the meeting. He spent quite a bit of time threatening the employees that he was "going to find them", etc. Then at the end, "Ok, get back to work and have fun!" Yeah, sure!

At the meeting, Ryan Tate then went on to say several employees had already been named as defendants in a $7.8 million lawsuit for breaching their employee confidentiality agreements. A search of state and federal court filings revealed that no such litigation has been filed as of Thursday, a fact Ryan Tate later confirmed. However, the company is considering suing several of its former and current employees for contract violations, he said.

“I will root this out,” Ryan Tate told his employees in the recording while announcing the firings. “I will clean this from our staff and I will not stand for it. If I was you, I’d get on a mission to find who cost you your job. Hopefully, the grass is greener on the other side.”

Ryan Tate caught in a lie right there.
