I don't know if some of you remember, but a few months back Dh got his dream job. He was VP of a start up production company. I should have known it was too good to be true.
Well this past week his boss (the owner) was swept off to rehab for her drug and alcohol addiction. It turns out that the production company was her pet project and funded by her millionaire boyfriend. She lied about having other backers and there are hundreds of thousands of dollars that aren't accounted for. It almost seems like she was 'playing' production company to support herself and her habit. (BTW, DH had no idea she was an addict).
Her friends have come to take over the company while she's gone. They basically told Dh and the staff that they can pay them for the next 30 days to finished the project they are working on. Their basic explanation is that the boss has issues and this is their last straw with her.
It makes me so mad that millionaire bf had 'no idea' that his 'investment' wasn't going the way it was suppose to. How do you not know your gf of 3 years is a bipolar, alcoholic, druggie?
I am so bummed. Now Dh will be out of a job, again! I hate the entertainment business. I know we'll be ok, but I am just so upset right now. I just feel like Dh and his staff (mostly friend of his that he hired) were pawns in this game.
Thank you so much for listening. I try not to get too upset in front of Dh b/c he feels so guilty for taking the job and hiring his friends. I don't blame him at all. It just suck, suck, sucks!
Re: Vent: Here we go again!
Oh that's tough. Good luck to him.
btw, my DH and I have a shot exactly like the one you have on Oahu; the one thats at Shark's Cove, where you're the mermaid and your husband is the shark. But we did it in reverse, lol!
Also, does the usc in your name stand for the university? my DH and I are trojans too!
