FetishCash drama
 

So, this is pretty interesting news. Apparently FetishCash has just fired PattyeCake, who, as I understand it is the account rep for 7000 FC affiliates, and thereby responsible for over have of FC's revenue.

What makes this interesting, and therefore drama, is that on Wednesday PattyeCake was diagnosed with uterine cancer. On Thursday Scott fired her. That seems like a pretty cold move.

Oh well, I guess PR is not his forte.

Good luck PattyeCake, we still love you. :thumbsup

Scott is a cocksucker anyway. I have not said shit about him or his business practices publicly because I did not want to rag on the company that Pattyecake was working for.

FetishCash is pretty much dead in the water at this point. If Scott thinks his numbers have sucked lately, it's because people have been pulling their links left and right and this move on his part pretty much stuck a fork in his program....at least that's my prediction.

wtf!!!!
he fires her right after she finds out she has cancer?
I knopw thaat business is business and he is withing his rights but this sounds pretty classless if you ask me

thats cold.

I went out of my way to get Scott on a guest list for a party as a favor to Pattyecake. Pattyecake flew about 2000 miles to atttend the party that was an hour or so away from Scott's house. After all that, Scott never even bothered to show up.

That's fairly minor but it gives you an idea of how much he cares about others.

:disgust

Okay, I have just been informed I may have received some inaccurate data, but since I can't edit my post I will just say that she has about 600 affiliates, and that half may be a little over-stated.

No difference though, still a pretty shitty move IMHO.

If you think about it...
Pattycake would not quit...
Ifyou know her she would never leave the job.

So maybe theoretically they did the right thing by not making her work while she is ill.

THink a little guys this is my guess.

It's link-pulling time. Only reason I sent any traffic Fetish Cash's way was because of PattyeCake.

I do not know any of the people involved, but a question comes to mind, how do you know the dude scott knew about her diagnosis, and or what if he intended on doing this move before he found out? does he need to keep someone just for an illness? would you want someone to keep you around just cause they knew you were sick? not me...

BTW god bless you pattycake I hope you get well.. rememmber think positive it can truley help things like this...

and it sounds like you are well liked and work should come your way soon.

I'm going to keep my comments to best wishes for Pattycake, she's a wonderful woman and the news about her health is very saddening. Best wishes Pattycake and best of luck beating this!

You think it would be better to have someone working for you when that someone is terribly ill?

How would you feel if you had an employee in her state dedicated to keeping things under control with the webmasters?

I personally wouldnt have the heart and I would not want to be known to drive my employee's that hard when there health and wel being are at stake.

that pretty much sucks :(

Good luck PattyeCake!

By the way, does she know about this thread and know that her diagnosis has been revealed to a bunch of people she doesn't know? A lot of people are VERY sensitive about stuff like that.

Way off base. Not bragging but I happen to know most of the details of this situation and have been watching it develop since August.

AlienQ & Jeosho,

I understand your questions, sort of, but let me ask you this...

She got fired "officially" ONE DAY after she was diagnosed with cancer although she wasn't informed of this until today, and FetishCash foots (at least until today) the bill for her health insurance. Now, what do you think would happen if this ever found itself infront of a judge?

oh man :(

excellent point, and if accurate it should find it's way in front of a judge no doubt about it:2 cents:

Ive met Scott and he is a pretty cool dude, to me anyway.

I've used fetish cash a long time, got paid every single time.

I dont know what occured with PattyeCake, but Ive never had a single problem with Fetish Cash.


Of course I try and stay out of my sponsors business with their employees :)

I have no idea what has occured with Pattyecake, or what her employment agreement was with FetishCash.

Do you know Baddog? I mean was she an independent contractor? On commision based only? In house?

I have no idea.

I don't know shit for details on this thing but I do know PattyCake is a fighter and well like I said I would feel like shit if I kept an employee when there health is in jeopardy.

Thats just me though.

This is a very good point. This could lead to backlash with her getting hired elsewhere and plus I didnt know about the cancer till reading this thread.

Full time salaried + percentage.

I wish you all the best PattyeCake! Be strong!
I don't know about the US but unless there were 'warnings' prior - the fact that he fires you one day after you're diagnosed could be considered 'discrimination' and he would have to continue to pay for your medical coverage + give you a nice severance pay.

That's in Canada though.....

rather then speculating, how about letting the woman rest. two very big pieces of bad news in a short time frame can work wonders on a person's esteem. then to see it on a board...good god.

baddog you really should have had more respect for her privacy rather then trying to get your post count up. if she wanted people to know about her illness, i am sure she would have posted about this herself. you didnt need to be her unoffical pr rep.

how would you appreciate it if someone posted about your private life in such a manner?

jesus, is anyone's personal business just that or are some of you so hard up that you just feel the need to expose!

Because she announced it. Of course, she did not find out last Thursday she was fired, she just found out tiday (again, my understanding of the facts).

I know last Friday I was asking for a button and linking code with her affiliate ID to put up on ContentShopper to help her out a little. Today I find out she was fired, effective last Thursday.

yes, it was made public last week

On the flip side......Perhaps she is OK with it? Her medical issues were mention on netpond within the last 2 days and she did not seem to have a problem with that.

Big problem is a thread like this could really hurt her chances of getting hired by a new company.

She would be better off hiring an attorney...heck in california you can get the state to fight for you.

Taking it to the boards could really backfire on her, if she plans on continuing.

Also, isnt there the law that you can continue your health insurance even after termination?

The more I think about it, the more this thread seems quite a bit odd.

point well taken and has a lot of merit cassie, but do not shoot the messanger, baddog is not worried about his post count he is a cool dude that was actually trying to get out the word and help someone he liked is my take on his post, but I know him, and know that he could give a shit less about any post count... you are wrong to attack him.

you are an ignorant bitch aren't you

thank you

if it's the post youre referring to, i dont see her responding to any of what was posted. i see a whole bunch of other people posting but not one response from her. i see who was the one who made the initial announcement but again, nothing from pattycake stating anything about her life.

maybe, just maybe she is trying to deal with this in private before taking it public. could she be ok with it as you stated....possibly. could she be too busy trying to gain some sense of understanding rather then read the boards....very possibly.

I am gonna bow out of this one.

I love you PattyCake ya always have been helpful to me and understanding my fucked up methods.

Get well!

I highly doubt those were his intentions. I don't think I've ever heard one bad thing about baddog.

Funny how you can say "rather then speculating" and then post the rest of the drivvel afterwards.

You obviously don't know baddog and his intentions, you obviously don't know if patteycake cares, you obviously don't know any of the circumstances, so take your own advice... stop speculating.

"very possibly"?? Stop speculating. Jeezus.

"very possibly" it's best that people know who the cold hearted bastards are in this industry as well, so we know who to avoid doing business with.... maybe? Or just speculation?

And maybe..Just maybe she is a close friend of mine and I have spent a lot of time discussing these issues with her lately.

When it comes to serious issues like this, I never post shit unless I know WTF I am talking about.

Didn't you know? I am just here for the post count. :1orglaugh

Anyway... I wish you the best Patteycake... I know you'll rebound from all of this to take the industry by storm once again.

You have the support of a LOT of the adult industry, as well as friends and family I'm sure (I'm just speculating there). :winkwink:

Take care and get back to us all when you can.

Why don't you just get a job and move out of your moms basement? I hear Wendy's is hiring!

Cassie,
Ya know what? I'm the one that 1st announced Pattye's condition on Netpond. This was after I spent literally HOURS on the phone with her. I'm the bastard that leaked the info to baddog about her being fired retroactively today. So blame ME for being the shithead that "gave out personal info". Pattye knows what I have posted, and she's very comfortable with that.

She's on some heavy meds right now so probably not aware of this thread as she's likely in bed, but I'm sure she will appreciate everyone's words of support and love in this thread.

The bottom line is that she DID get "officially" fired ONE DAY after telling her bosses about her condition. However, her bosses were too chickenshit to let her know until today that she hasn't had a job since LAST Thursday. I for one know that until sometime today she still had access to their system and was in contact daily with her "superiors".

This is fucked up, and you can guarantee that I'll be pulling all my sites - even though I merely send FC a dozen or so hits a day.

Thats a shame about Pattycake...I'm really surprised at that move ,that program had a lot of potential.

i suggest you re-read what you quoted. i do believe what i made were statements in that post.

i am not here to win a popularity contest so i really dont give a shit about the defense of baddog.

christ there is nothing sacred.

"So, this is pretty interesting news." what is so interesting about it? huh? tell me what is so interesting that someone else, other then her, once again, needs to post this info?

trying to explain anything rational here is a waste of time. go about your business.

oh and by the way, nice to know that someone's bad luck is DRAMA.

I was PattyeCakes boss for the last 6 months and consider her a friend. That's not the way it went down at all. This is a pretty inflamatory thread, especially when trying to pin PC's separation from Fetish Cash to her diagnosis. I usually don't even bother with these types of gossip posts, but since it deals with my company, I'm forced to.

And for anyone else who says they are in the know about this information... they aren't.

But instead of me saying anything about the circumstances, it's only PattyeCakes business and I've notified her of this post and I've asked her to respond personally.

fuck this is gonna get more interesting I can betcha a nickle...

baddog obviously isn't here to get his post count up, and pattyecake knew full well about her condition and this info being posted.

So your "statements" were purely speculation.

Since you don't know the difference, I figure you had better just stop writing anything else that may make you look even more stupid than you already do.

I don't think anyone tried to "pin" anything together. The only thing I derived from any of these posts is that it's simply really bad timing to fire someone the day after finding out that they have that condition.

As I stated, that is NOT the way it went down and she can verify that information.

OK. :thumbsup

Whatever you say dude. :winkwink:
