# Hiring of Steve Yeich a yahoo executive. Dave came one day into the office area to talk to me about the hiring or the chasing after steive yeich a high end supposedly with a lot of experience to take us to the next level. Of course when I heard this news to me it seemed positive becaue dave seemed to be sooo busy he
# Hired Brian, a racist. steve wiideman and his wife..alberto..moved to new facility in the workout room .
# No performance review...no raises..changes in title and name only and more RESPONSIBILITY.but no pay...always pushing forward and being the best.
# I hired jeremy, resa, colby, Steven Trevino, some of them later turned on me when we getting big. another blog topic.
# Non of the managers dave hired above me where competent. I still kept the same huge responsibilities if not more. I had to train the director, and many mangers above me as to how the database system works and later brian knowing that i am the 2nd that knows everything stripped me of my manager position and sent me to a non exixting department called Quality Control. Again why do you think I did it. I complained to Dave about this isolation but Dave said something that he didnt realize that made me think I could show him I can create and run a second department all over again. Remember I hired and trained my own provisioning
department and we were rocking. Dave loved this of course. REmember no performance review nor raises. I changed titles at Localsplash and RElevantads so many times and my responsibilites increased but no money or raises or any other for of incentive was given. Now I started something at the company. I started
hiring contractors to help me out. I trained them, wrote all documentation, THIS WITHOUT DAVID RODECKER nor more money from the company. I did it still.
# Dave hired brian because he thought kerry and I could not handle the growth with everything that was going on and the growing of accounts and with it calls also increased in customer service but we were also provisioning and optimization. We had to keep up with this pressure daily knowing that sales still continued to sell dirty and we had to keep up with the pressure of performing while coming on top everyday. We were humiliated by Dave hiring somone supposedly from Napster..good name and good company...he was however just a bully trying to always proof he is the man on the floor and humiliating and calling everyone out yelling sometimes in a room no bigger than an average Mcdonalds dining room. I dont know where this guy came from ..but he quickly formed his own little click....everyone else hated him and probably complained to either me or kerry a lot all the employees i mean....some complained to dave direclty others just saw opportunity to tag along with this guy that was blunt to the point of disrespect....all the employees and contractors were on the floor and this guy had to scream while play with department heads...this guy clearly didnt like me from the begining ...he told me he was changing things the way they were being runned so he stripped me of provisioning but I was still suppose to father them...whil alberto ran it to a screeching success. I cringe just to describe what happened next. He put me in a one man department of QC. NO guidance nothing. He wanted to learn as much from me of course and he was always intimidating employess. Melissa Widdeman wife of steve worked there too. She was very profesional in customer service but sat like
3 or 4 seats down from where they had me cornered. Next to us shared the snack area with a real estate management agency that managed the rec area and gyms etc. She complained constanslty to him about his bullying etc to retribution. kelly was made head of performaance and I am not sure he had much success..but everyone thought they were an expert. They thought they could figure out how this stuff
works and could be better. etc. I helped with optimizing our customer service interface and what they saw and used so they can more efficienly access it and can see what they needed to see when servicing a customer. I also kept up with the numbers of QC and errors and other flags we had put in place that violated google guidelines etc. I kept watch constantly of performance of of course clients.. We endured bullying etc to the point that a lot of people complained inclding kerry and I and other supervisors and other employees that were close to dave....remember dave was a small company with mostly loyal emopoyeees. there was a small click...viviana come on the scene but that is another story or blog. Brian eventually was given a project that he flunked etc and dave started seeing that his way on managment was bad for employee moral and thus performance. What he didnt understand and no one at the company was the lack of moral...they had silly games to build but we were still bombared with bad accounts that were so messed up that we ended up cancelling. People complained ...customers and employees at the way of selling. I was stressed out to the max to wear hats of lead of our major account extraspace to perform so my tacticts were part of the discussion on a weekly basis of consulting that i never saw a cent of performance...I also put my practice in salvaging an account by an appliance repair guy from corona that was sold 15 cities on google local specifically with no sign of success. He paid good money..upwards of 3,000 dllars for the account and of course the company from san diego had cut ties with us ...I saved the account and got to work sepcifically on my spare time etc. By this time I was not eating lunch till about 4pm and leaving right after some times becaose of the stress and then the hour of traffic I had to endure to get home. I needed to be home more because of my puppy I had gotten on 2010 January. I worked so much, even at home ..5 hours were not unusual...i went to bed at 1 or 2 am working on SEO and Localsplash and then waking up at 6 or 7 to get ready to be in the office around 8am. I needed to answer calls that were technology in nature and
sophisticated clients wanted a specialist to answer a few questions. Sometimes I was the factor in them signing up and i never saw a dime of that money. THe job was very stressful for the pay and the demands of it and the constant battle to keep them signed up. I stressed so much and had more demands to attend meetings of management were they discussed strategy and etc. Brian was eventually let go
but if i can think of more things he did I will add it as I go back to editing for
typographical erros etc.
One guy had to be fired to try to fix some little finances and to try to fix morale and brain of course used it to show that he could fire. He always gave me the eye etc. I never paid him any mind because I knew how hard I worked and what I knew there and did there and contributed to the company...Dave knew...Steve
Yeich quickly learned that I am sure. It was a scam though..>I dont know what steves function was but eventually right after Diane was fired not to the 2 months maybe Brian got fired after the move to the new office in Santa Ana which Brian oversaw and flunked the project management test. No raise ..still more demands of the job..but I still needed to leave at 5pm.>>>Dave Hated that I left at 5 and he knew how hard I worked and what I already contributed...5 differnt hats....I had to beat the traffic to not get home by 6pm or 7pm then cook dinner if I am not exhaused or go out to eat super fast food so I can rest for 30min to an hour then play with my dog a bit and feed him and then put in another 4 hours to 5 hours every night sometimes on satruday and sunday as well. It was amazing the routine that I build to keep up witht the work and the demands the company put on us with their selling tacticts etc and the expectations of customers demanding answers as to results and justification of billing. I made appliance repair in corona comapany my flagship account to perform in ranking that later on landed me the area of key accounts or national accounts ...companies that had multiple local facilities and needed more than one account. WE needed to put extra effort in these becasue the money were good so the results needed to deliver...so we had to super super deliver...nothing wrong with that ...we rose to the occassion and made them perform with our strategy sometimes consuting with dave but devsed usually by me and put to the test on extraspace storage and or the accountts that I took it upon myself to make work by putting in the hours of study and research at home.
FOr some reason I thought my computer or my personal laptop was alwasy bugged by Dave because he has been known to bugg computers and cell phones to find out about peoples lifes..he thinks he is the fbi or other fed agency or has the right to find out about his employees private lives or somethi8ng. Steve yeich has never contributed anyting significant but just came on board at the right time when the company was making money so he ordered us moved to an uptown real time office space and hired john domingo to continue to sell as telemarketing dirty tactics and high pressure revolving door as reliable listing etc commanded by Russell wallace the current skipper at 29prime...he tried to steal from Dave after being helped by Dave to get started that its pitiful but
kerry and I warned dave and mike who also left over disagreement with dave wanting to release pennies. I dont know why dave didnt raise his best employees ..its not that he didnt know. I was never expecting to see it coming from stegve yeicfh ever...nor brian..nor any of them. THey never would have given me any
advancement. NOt even matt that was hired to administer the finances by dave..he thinks he is the shit and mistreats others and being head of HR def. never liked me...he thought non of us were educated and he was like the shit cause he is from USC...why do people have to do that...I was always humble and never demanded anything...they never gave me MY OWN OFFICE in the NEW buulding in SANTA ANA..i
had to share with 3 other people a large room...all crafted by vivana...dave flirted with her so much...dont want to get into that topic.>>>Jeremy whom i hired out of recommendation from Kerry, got an office....he also was some sort of a shady character to me...Colby whom he introduced to me and hired by alberto but
hired by me in provisioning is whom made a click or a group of peopole that participated in createing an environment of competiton and he eventually convinceed steve yeich and dave and matt to head on an interim basis when brian was fired and they hired a director of cuwstomer service etc....I as head of key
accounts my own department wth my own new advaanced provisioning and my own process and QC and everyting I built from scratch. I left the old shell i had build to the other people like alberto who later became the technitian of some sort so colby took over at provisioning learning from me and pretending to be my student until he could take over everyting..that was their plan...eventually he played his own psychoogy of bullying and intimidation that I had never seen in my life...Viviana was behind it all too complainting to dave and steve about nothing ..everything she created to throw my leadership under the bus with lies and deceit
out of her tounge. colby and her devised the whole thing with their socialissm. people saw what was going on...COLBY will be in another blog but he later got caught trying to fire someone and his bullying got him fired not too long after celebrating my walking off the job.
I kept hiring people to help me advance my customer accounts and andrew joined me back in the office to perform provisioning and account management and customer building relationship etc...our style was more pro active and reactive and customers loved us for that. They performed to the max..it was a differnt level
of service. Our department thrived, we eventually hired our own sales team untit ..they closed accounts and we performed the SEO majic...white hat...that delivered the visibility and rankigns on goolge local and organic and ppc management as well...We were studygin and passed many google certifications so ladies and gentlement this became serious skill and requiremnte...but no raise in pay or advcanement..still all this repsonsibsilty for me. I was depreved of hiring and expanding and infact matt and his accounitng hr grew by 800% to 1200% as well as sales ballooned probably to 2000% and the comapny soon occupied the whole space in the new santa ana facilty..we were becoming a real comapny but us that were worked to the bone were not given any raises but the occational drink out at the local irish pub. It is amazing to see how selfish dave became when he stared making the millions....steve has not contributed to any innovation that supposedly he was suppose to bring to the comapny as you got used to running a scam and making the
easy money and everyting you learned from me. I trained all your employees and some salesman, helped create the manual that used to teach the whole company and worked many tireless hours of my own time at home with the promise of advancement and raise in pay only to remain at the same pay but 5 different hightly important responsibilities now comparables to a CMO or at Most Chier SEO guy stategiest plus operations of teams and technology. THis was a 400.000 position that was built from the dust becasue it did not exits at the moment. THe field is still changing to this and adjusting to this. We need to review daves company history, payroll, HR hirngs and firing...the tons of salesmen that are hired and fired and are promised good money only to be fired for non performance ...or if they got really caught lying or stealing customer data or credit card information..the whole thing is nasty but I was on the technolgy side..I was the good guy delivering on the false promises teh clients were initially sold on. I felt good about what I Contributed. I knew it didnt come easy but I knerw that I was save with job secutiry cause dave knewo....and my team rocked..trained by me and only me and they were performing tops. Steve yeich and dave missed on the opportunity to become yext.com becasue we were good at that and our system was very infant but
the vison was there by me to automate yext since were were automating my strategy and what was being successful at the technolgy level. I trained writers and conent people so we delivered not only in ranking but in what I thought was lacking ...selling....we sometimes delivereed on great ranking and traffic but failed to convert a searher to a brower to a client. More On this...Dave got used to the scam and steve went with it ..but they missed on leading the technology field of what yext.com later becaome. THe vison was on the table...it was spelled out for them by me and other people that eventually saw the vison but lacked the
intiative because it seemed impossible to pull together. THey missed so many opportunities to invest in its employees..you kept us earning pennies even though we gave so much and chantged our lives to get to the office and perform....you knew I spent countless hours you even told me at one point to stop working from home too much.....what u didnt learn was to appreciate your employees that helped you get there...you never appreciated any of us that put in all the raw work and skill to keep us ahead. Other people just came to benefit and pretent that they could just take over and run it into success but the opposite happend and they ended up making the whole situation and eventually the company the opposite way or into losing more accounts than it needed to. These people included Diane, brian, this one lady form the iron mountainridge or someting got thrown in there as director...this lady deservers a special blog.

# Hiring of Steve Yeich a yahoo executive. Dave came one day into the office area to talk to me about the hiring or the chasing after steive yeich a high end supposedly with a lot of experience to take us to the next level. Of course when I heard this news to me it seemed positive becaue dave seemed to be sooo busy he
could not do everything either and to me it seemed logical that someone with experirence take the reigns...wouldnt you? SO steve came on board by this time we were in the raquet club building vacated by a karate club area, that became localsplash the brainchild of mike and dave as a brand name. We were becoming a real company I thought for ones....good things will defenatley happen to us because of this. To all those that have been here since the beginneing because we have worked hard as a company to make it to where we were. I was developing processes, fine tuning seo so we cut time and teaching my staff to stay ahead while training them on the job while attending meetings and being bombarded daily by seo questions...and then the sales guys stared taking over, becoming interested in seo to better sell it supposedly. I had to train....will be back
