MODERATOR NOTE: See company response below, along many other questions that were asked by members without reply by original poster.



I was once a ex-employee of hostgator, I quit their company after 1 month of loyal service. And then they wanted to destroy me and even made attempts on my life.

They have done this to others, have even put one in prison for 8 months. I wonder how many more they have hurt and abused. Please see the following threads

I have more, I can show you the original emails. Disputes all in my browser.



The truths of Hostgator

Here is what I am finding strange about you posting this all over the web. I know that if I was supposedly threatened or attempts on my life were being made, I'd be talking to appropriate authorities and lawyers, not posting about it on the web.

While you are explaining the above, could you also perhaps clarify the accusation that we banned your email address?

Your nonsense posts got removed from WHT so now you come here with your childish lies?

Artashes, WHT already removed this guy's posts and banned him.. He even claimed he was never employed by HG in WHT, and now he says otherwise here (figures)... You also got fired from HG, you did NOT quit.

The other employee you speak of that went to prison, broke the law...

You're nothing but a liar on a smear campaign because HG fired you for your poor performance, give it up... Like I said on your WHT post before it was removed - No intelligent person is going to find your lies and sources credible.

I am aware of that, but it doesn't mean HostingDiscussion will act the same way. I don't want to hide it under the carpet right away, but give a chance for anyone to ask questions. The OP hasn't even responded yet, so we'll see how he addresses the questions.

I understand that completely. But trust me when I say "you're beating a dead horse" on this one.

Everything this guy has posted about this situation everywhere so far has been a lie, and when he gets caught on it, he leaves (or gets banned should I say) and goes to the next forum to start over with his smear campaign.

Nothing he will post will prove his claims, and I dare him to prove me wrong.

Its not the first time it happens, so we'll just give it a few days. If responses are not provided, this thread will be history.

Actually HostLeet, I have a co-worker that just moved here from Texas and his last job was HostGator tech support. He stated these exact words just now over Microsoft Communicator...

"All techs that where a year or older at the company where given no respect. The company had no comunication between shifts or managment. In my case I had 3 bosses, and only one of them knew what I was supposed to do. The company is run like a frat house where if your drinking buddys with the owner or his cousin then your good."

They disrespect there employees an can give a rats ass about you or there clients..

Poor management is one thing (it can happen anywhere).. However, claiming HostGator is making attempts on your life like the mob, and that working at HostGator is worst than being a slave in a Chinese labor camp (one of his claims on the WHT thread that was removed), are totally different things. Does this look like a Chinese slave labor camp?

Also, lying about NOT being employed by HG (also WHT) and claiming this story was a "friend's experience", when in fact he was the ex-employee the whole time, as well as lying about quitting HG when in fact he was fired for poor performance, don't help his credibility either. I simply can't, and refuse to believe anything this guy says anymore.

Then on top of all that, add the fact that he doesn't ever post any proof to backup his ridiculous claims, only more "HG kills baby seals" type of responses... I would love for a HostGator rep to come here and set things straight. I might just email Brent a link to this thread, actually.

It is VERY COMMON for large companies for employees to have multiple bosses/managers. Managers also have different shifts, so it is likely to have a different shift manager from time to time. That way an employee has a level of support at all times during his/her work hours. A shift manager will always relay information to your direct manager and most likely will leave all the decision-making to that person.

That is quite a bold statement to make. It sounds more like a personal opinion than a fact.

Yeah well, I'll go based off the information that was provided to me by an insider and I can believe it because most larger hosting companies (e.g HostGator) have 1,000s of clients and could care less if you left or how fast they provide you your request. They will just make up on the next client. The big wigs might care obviously because it's money but do you think the support staff or even managers care? There getting paid there small salary or hourly wages and get screamed at all day. I doubt they could give a rats ass how fast your ticket gets processed...they just wanna take the next call and go home lol... This is why working with smaller hosting companies you get better customer care and more one on one support. Hope this makes sense...

Now for the employee that got in trouble he never went to prison. The employee provided a screenshot of there ticket system or billing of some sort and the owner went ape **** and he got fired and removed from the premises

Looks to me like the OP is simply spreading the hate around, forum spamming. I don't see a response here from the OP yet, but he is active on other forums. Leads me to believe he's not interested in our comments or in being a valued member of this forum.

I was asked to stop and say a few words but rather then get into a pointless argument I'm going to simply post some of what he posted over at new order......

http://neworder.box.sk/showthread.ph...dofbredirect=1

"I tried to get help for the hacking and people following me and was institutionalized for a week. "

" they hacked my phone."

"Stalked, hacked, threats to life made and attemps with chemical drugs made against."

"Suspected chemist inside hostgator. Contact to create drugs to alter peoples minds and hurt them that could hurt hostgators reputation
"

And for the Grand finale...........


"Be careful if you work there and quit they might try to kill you by using drugs to make you loose your mind, literally. A week after I quit I was at a NoFX concert and someone threw some kinda drug cocktail on my head. I was targeted the sound booth was behind me. I felt sick and went outside. My head started tingling. I was sitting against the wall and Ford(hostgator security http://www.linkedin.com/pub/ford-merrill/13/681/b45 ) walked by in a wig and looked at me). I went back inside and washed off my head. When I did the water i used ran over my face and and my hands and face started tingling. I went to security, then to the police. They had me sitting against the outside of the building. A man walked by and said “You will never play the piano again.” Playing the piano is a term that describes the acts of hacking on a keyboard. For the next week people followed me and the smell of in pesticides came from from my AC on my truck. While I walked from Conroe, TX to Tomball, TX to get my truck from a hospital where they would not take me seriously On I45 on the feeder a white truck with a full tool body passed 4+ times spraying out a fog that irritated my skin and made me feel horrible. Routinely a truck with the name Pest Bear past me as I walked down the street. I was picked up by a man in a Volvo with no plate. And he described to me how people who where not going to live long are not worth as much as other people and should die. He also hinted that I was not going to live long. Pest bear was a company registered out of Boca Raton, FL . The home of hostgator.
"

Everyone is always asking me what our secret sauce is but the truth is that it's not a sauce at all. It's a mind altering chemical that tricks your brian into signing up for web hosting at hostgator. We own the majority of pest control companies in this world which gives us the perfect disguise to spray unsuspecting masses. The next time you see the pest control man just ask yourself... Is he working for hostgator?

WOW.. This guy is seriously on another reality and should seek professional help.

Does HostGator drug test their employees?

The OP hasn't been back here, but he's certainly active on other forums spewing this tale all over the Internet. I got rear ended once by a lawn care truck - wonder if that was - NO, couldn't be.
