This is a small industry and when you're starting off all you have is your name. Fuck around with good people in this business, and you'll get fucked around.
I think this is one of the things that runs our industry. The name and honesty. If your word is worth nothing, then you are going to have a rough time coming up or making it in this biz. Good point WarChild.
I can't agree with you more pxxx and Warchild, so many times you hear that and it still rings true.
The difference is in this case that he was using company resources to profiteer. He doesn't have the brain power to figure out how to get his own partner accounts and make money
DH
I do indeed have my own partner accounts. However, my brainpower is obviously not comparable to yours, but you do have a 10 year head start. How much pleasure does publicly humiliating a dumb, useless 18 year old on a public message board bring you anyways? I am only human and we fuck up. A certain number of failures can be a good education... besides the point, there really is no point of me trying to argue anything. What's said is said, what's done is done. Take from it what you will. What i dont understand is, On ICQ I told you I was going to make a public apology post, once I got some more feedback on the situation. In your original message to me you stated you would give me 24hrs before you made it public.
It all comes down to your word versus mine. Knowing that, I know I've already been defeated. I apologize for any inconvenience I have caused you. I hope everybody has enjoyed the drama, please exit to your left and have a good night and a safe drive home.
Good Hiring, Good Training, Good Management, Good Grief
DH, after reading this thread I must say that you seem like a really decent person to work for. I mean, you are really handling your bad hiring decision with class.
I'm sure if any of your current employees are reading this, they count their blessings that they work for such an even tempered person as you.
I'm sure if any of your clients are reading this they must be real impressed with your management style as well.
What I did may be wrong, but I certainly think this is turning out to be a bigger deal then it is. On the bright side, I've never been involved in any board drama, so it's a learning experience, lol...
In all seriousness though, isn't your time a lot more valuable then to be wasting it on a "useless, dumb, greedy kid" who submitted a few galleries using an allegedly stolen partner account? Speaking of which, when you started GSS, wern't you submitting to multiple partner accounts to the same tgp's with different names and ip's?
LOL you really are a fool huh?
Mark is simply advising/warning others about you. Had you gotten away with this you would then go to your next employer and rip them off as well. And it would be for more, because that's what happens when theifs aren't caught or had the whistle blown on them, it just progresses. You were wrong and admited to it. You even got a weeks pay that you didn't deserve. Good luck with your next position in the industry.

And as I said in our conversations before all you had to do was come out here admit you fucked up and that would have been the end of it. But you said no I am not going to admit that I am wrong. This could have been handled with way more class and professionalism on your part.
Well regardless if you are right or wrong Andrew your name in this industry is now mud. Everytime you post someone will chime up "did you steal that" or "how did you get that partner account?"
I hope the galleries you submitted were worth all this.
My legal is $500 an hour...Can I sue for legal costs incurred as well?
DH
In Canada you will be awarded Party and Party Costs if you win.
And you would if you specified a geographical scope, as well as a scope of how long he is not allowed to compete with you.
If you do not provide that, the courts will most likely provide a scope for you and declare you the winner

all the shit ive seen you talk and your a pos scammer
wow you fucking tool.
want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.
I paid Andrew $10 an hour Canadian and he *worked* (if you can actually consider what he did for us work) 40 hours a week.
40 hours x $10 = $400
He worked for us like 2 1/2 months so that is 10 weeks.... So that adds up to about $4000 plus the week severance I gave him so $4400.
Are we out of small claims yet? LOL!
DH
$4400 is still small claims. You're going to sue him to get back money you paid him because he stold a partner account?
You've ruined his reputation. Rather, he's ruined his own repuation. People will know about him now. You can't really hope to collect any damages from an 18 year old kid who made 10 sales in total. It's beneath you at this point. Arguably, a point could be made that it's a principal, but he's already admitted to doing it. There's nothing for you gain or prove in this case.
Fuck this guy, karma will come around harder than any Canadian court ever will
You kinda look like my retarded wop cousin. He wasn't born retarded, he was severely injured in a car crash. Aside from one side of his face being frozen, you're a dead ringer.

You sir, get my vote for boss of the year!
I sense a touch of sarcasm in your post
Honestly, if I didn't expose Andrew and let him get away with it what would that say about me. My current employees would then think it would be "ok" to do what Andrew did and there would be no consequences to their actions. I'm not saying any of the people that work for us are theives in the slightest but at the same time I have to make examples out of people that steal from me.
This sounds a bit brash but it pretty clearly describes my thinking pattern on this one
I hate it to get to this point but I would like to inform everyone of an unfortunate situation that we found about today.
Andrew Katrib AKA Smutgiant who was a previous employee of GTS has been found stealing our personal partner accounts one of which was Madthumbs. Andrew currently is a sales rep for Soulcash. Please make this known that I have nothing but the highest respect for Seth and his program Soulcash and don't want them to look badly because of this moron. We have tracked all his submissions back and Andrew was submitting his own personal galleries through our partner accounts at Madthumbs and possible quite a few other sites after we terminated his employment.
We hired Andrew last year to handle submitting galleries for us as well as doing other administrative work. After a couple of months we found him to be a completely useless employee. He was always on MSN talking to his friends and he actually would pretend to submit galleries. I mean he was actually WORKING at NOT-WORKING!! LOL! I had to get one of my guys just to babysit this little prick all day just to make sure he got his work done. Also in addition to all of this he never made it into work on time....
Anyways long story short this guy, signed a non-compete with our company and he is in strong violation of that contract. In addition we have concrete proof of him using our partner accounts.
Please be wary of hiring Andrew as he cannot be trusted, we are now pondering what legal action we should take. What would you do if you were in my situation?
DH
That really really fucked up bro!
I can't understand people who do things like this, he should get his punishment for this......
Screw you over? I submitted maybe 10-15 galleries in the past 5 or so months. Like I said on ICQ the total amount of submissions ended up in 10 signups, and that's submitting to my whole list.
That's a lot of signups for their archive listings. I had a partner account their and just stopped submitting cus I thought it was a waste of time.
Oh I remember this guy back when he freaked out cause thought he lost $50K gambling online cause he was too clueless to understand how credit cards work and didn't know they have limits.

Ahh....the weekly reminder that some people are more than willing to fuck their reputations for a couple bucks. Either that or they're too stupid to actually realize what they're doing.
Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

Are you an ex girlfriend in disguise? Stick to the subject.
edit: and when i was freaking out i literally went days with no sleep, playing blackjack on end. That's when I realized I needed a girlfriend
No, you freaked out cause you didn't know how credit cards worked and didn't realize they have a limit. You actually thought you spent $50K online gambling. Ya like a credit card company is just gonna let anyone ring up $50K especially a young 18 year old.
I thought that post was hilarious cause I didn't realize how clueless some people are. You kinda suprised me.

This thread proves my original thoughts of you.
With hours on end of consecutive gambling, heart racing, blood rushing, adrenaline pumping... yes one may tend to develop a temporary case of cluelessness.
What I did may be wrong, but I certainly think this is turning out to be a bigger deal then it is. On the bright side, I've never been involved in any board drama, so it's a learning experience, lol...
Stealing from your company... the one that paid you a week severance pay... the one you are supposed to be loyal too...

Industry standard. When I used partners I didn't mind them buying 5 accounts... I made 5 times the money.
