| Clark Covington IRA Late Pay Bad Communication West Columbias, South Carolina |
| 26th of Mar, 2011 by User385497 |
It's funny how Clark mentions "church" when in the initial e-mail we received from him stated that pay is "every Sunday" (email will be pasted below). Clark, you did eventually pay, but you are one shady person. A few friends of mine did an on-going job for Clark posting Craigslist ads with the promise of weekly pay on Sundays. The very first pay day rolls around and guess what, our pay was not in. Not a good way to start out a new working relationship. I e-mailed him about this. I didn't get a response, but the next day my pay was in. No biggie as I understand that these things can sometimes happen. Fast forward to the next week: Sunday and Monday rolls around and no one has gotten paid. A few people publicly post on the work forum inquiring about pay. Clark finally
decides to answer. He stated that we should allow 48 hours from Sunday in order for him to get the pay in. This is something that was never mentioned in the original job offer. As you will see, the e-mail specifically says "pay is every Sunday". Nevertheless, I kept working, assuming that it has only been a few times and it would clear up. Pay came in on a Thursday.....well over Sunday, and well over the 48 hours after Sunday that Clark promised. Next week rolls around and I am willing to bet you can imagine that our pay was not in as promised..again. This time after waiting until Thursday, we decided to e-mail Clark. No reply in two days, so we sent him a message on Facebook. In return he blocks us from sending him anymore messages. His assistant Deana claims she has no idea what is going on. FINALLY, the night before NEXT WEEK'S pay is due, we get paid...and payment is considerably less than it should be. At this point I have left this job and would never consider working with someone like Clark again. Indeed, he did pay, but pay was always late and it was like biting nails just to get him to respond. One of the most unprofessional companies I have ever had the unpleasure of working for. Below is the original e-mail offering : Hi, We
have an exciting opportunity for anyone living in North America (US + CAN) to
post Craigslist ads each week. You don't need to write the ads, you don't
need to do much more than 5 minutes of work, and you can make anywhere from $5
to $50 a week doing it. We give you the ad, you post it on Craigslist,
and then you make sure it's live on the site, and you're good to go! We
already have a large client signed up for this, now all we need is you / your
friends / family to help us post these ads. Get paid every Sunday for
your work via PayPal, and be involved in some great marketing that isn't very
difficult to do at all. As always, our company Rufus Space Industries
does not charge you any fees, or make you pay anything to do this, it is 100%
volunteer oriented, and you can choose any job you want, and get paid for it
fast. Send an email to Deana at [email protected] to get added to our job
board for free. Share this email with family and friends, remember we need a lot
of people to do this so that we can keep our client satisfied and ordering
more. Thanks,
Deana

Hi, I am not here to deny or confirm the lateness of payments on the boards, although I know there has been issues with payments. However, as a employee, soon to be ex employee as of tomorrow of Clark's, I am requesting that my email and name be removed from your complaint. I, in no way hold any interest in Clark's business. I have absolutely no ownership in it. I am/was a contracted employee just like everyone else and would appreciate it if I was left out of all complaints directed at Clark. I have not ever had any control over payouts of services rendered. Your complaint is directed at Clark and there was no need to include my personal information into it. Thank you!

I can vouch for Deana. She was an employee like the rest of the writers and had absolutely no control over Clark's paying people. Her work ethic and concern for the writers was evident every time I had the opportunity to chat with her.
And I agree. You should remove her personal contact information. |

As I am included in that ex contractual employee status, I feel the same bitterness towards Clark Covington. I understand the reasoning of the post it's called anger and therefore you lash out as you must.
However, to include a person and their personal information is outrageous. Deana only managed a writer's board, who had no control over how Mr. Covington handled HIS company. She also did an outstanding job and put up with people that did not do their job's or listened to complaints about him. I find her to be an extremely professional and ethical person and writer and I was proud to be a part of HER team. She is the one who made his company succeed due to her organizational abilities and talent. I never considered myself on Mr. Covington's team he lacks ethics and that is something that many of us who did produce work for his company have.
It was Mr. Covington that chose when to pay his writers, not Deana and I find that this is almost on the verge of slander to her. I agree her name needs to be removed from this and any other posting. Although you did not actually say anything about Deana, I think you should have at least stated something in her defense and asked permission to use her personal information.
It was uncalled for to even bring her name into his mess of a company again she was nothing more then another of his pawns. |
