I worked for Longent for three years as their only staffed IT professional, and it was the worst experience I have had in all my life! I cannot warn anybody reading this post enough to steer clear of this company. The company's CEO is an abusive and bullying manager who enjoys tormenting his employees until they quit. In my case, he abused me repeatedly for months, and at one point he even asked me if I was ready to resign, but he claims I was fired because of my animosity and belligerence. He willfully and purposely created anger and hostility by bullying me, but I am to blame for my animosity???? What's worse is that I was denied unemployment benefits, because he played the victim and told the Division of Employment Security I was at fault. He put me through ten living hells after working very hard for him! But I am not the only person he has created pain for. He has hurt many people, and I believe he has no remorse at all for doing so. One example: I know of one other former employee who had given two weeks notice of moving into a new home, and when the man didn't show up for work, he was informed that day would be his day of resignation. What a guy! As stated in my previous post, this man is unfit to manage a McDonald's crew. If his employees truly are his "greatest asset" as he claims, why is turnover so high there? Why have so many people left him to work for his competitors, and why has he created hardship for so many others? I worked very hard for Longent, took pride in my work, and sacrificed much because of my work ethic, only to be treated like dirt for my efforts, because unlike his engineers, I "didn't make money for the company." I am sure the CEO will make some feeble attempt to respond again stating how disheartened he is for the grief, anguish and pain he subjected me and my family to, but it will be nothing more than smoke and mirrors and empty words coming from a man attempting to change the tarnished company image he created by abusing his employees. He created a hostile work environment for me (and many others), provided me with no tools to be successful in my job, made himself out to be the victim, and like many others, my family will pay the price for his indifference and incompetence for many years to come while he remains blameless. Nobody deserves to be treated this way, and as stated previously, I cannot warn you enough to steer clear of this company!
