Let me set you all straight. Amrc sent all of the staff home one Monday. There was the IT/parts guy, the composite girl and the fabricator, the guy from NZ. That's all the staff they had and they fired them all in one day. The NZ guy was told there was no money to get paid.
The owner is a major narcissist. Blamed his staff for everything. He was getting paid for jobs and spent that money to try and pay for debts he was behind on. He's behind on jobs but will tell his customers that everything is OK. He gives customers quotes then turns around and charges them a ton more because he needs the money.
The composite girl was being sexually harassed by the owner and his father. Inappropriate comments, jokes and gestures. She was constantly told that she was stupid, dumb and couldn't do anything right.
The IT guy practically ran the workshop. Without him they won't be able to do anything in the office. He did it all. When the staff were told to go home, the owner begged him to stay but he only stayed for 2 days. He had enough of all the abuse by then. He was also constantly told he was lazy and not pulling his weight.
The fabricator from NZ got thrown under the bus for a couple of jobs that went wrong when it was the owners fault. The owner has no clue about car mechanics and the guy from NZ couldn't believe that he had made it 19 years owning his own business. He can't pay his bills so I'm not sure how he's still in business.
The guy from NZ had to leave the country with his wife and 2 boys after it was made clear he wasn't going to get paid. He had no choice but to leave.
