The Honest Abe Roofing franchise in Jacksonville laid off their employees over a video call on Friday.“I’m sorry…. We’re officially laying everyone off.”“That’s some bull****.”
“The Zoom meeting said it was a mandatory meeting, we came on and within 10 minutes we found out we all lost our livelihood with no pay,” the former employee said.Another former employee based in Jacksonville said he is owed $8,000. He said customers are contacting him daily about finishing jobs they’ve paid for.
“You know, I have a family. I have kids, mortgage, car payments, food to buy everything. And they’ve been terminated and said, ‘We’re also not going to pay you for the time that you worked.’ It’s a big hit,” said the former employee.Employees said they just want to be paid what they’re owed, and they believe the owner was mismanaging his money.
