A tied dog

[AmericanEagle]

For those of you who are not from C.R., the expression "perro amarrado" refers to a debt that remains unpaid. The debtor keeps telling you stories about how he´s trying to come up with the cash, or worst-case-scenario, your phone calls are ignored and your poor "perro" starts looking like the one in the picture.
On Tuesday August 18th a very well-known sportsbook assembled its staff and confirmed some rumors that had been going on for a few weeks: Most of them would be laid off, since the financial situation was precarious. In the meeting they were told not to worry, they would receive their severence the following Monday. Although Sunday would be the last day for most of the employees, one saw them work most professionaly, yet once Monday arrived there was no severence payment. Two weeks have gone by since the meeting and nobody has a clue as to when the debt will be cancelled. Will this end up being another "tied dog"?

Yeah I would guess they screwed you, no way would I have left on Sunday without some type of callateral.

 

[NES]

PS, that dog reminds me of my street dog JB. The good news is he is looking better now, hope you guys do the same and get through this tough time.

 

[AmericanEagle]

Hey, what a great job with that dog, he´s looking great! Unfortunately, our dog gets uglier by the day. If things don´t get better, I´ll let you all know what sportsbook I´m talking about so you don´t do business with them...

 

[el_josh]

Move on only choice ya have. They are broke, or least have enuff for themselves, but aint gonna share with the grunts so to speak.

Sucks, but sure thats the way its going down be my guess

 

[Tortillera]

Will add this might be the case.This book has already setup shop elsewhere for football, Panama maybe?

 

[AmericanEagle]

No, they didn´t move to Panama. They are still here, they just got rid of staff and went into a PH deal.

 

[SampS]

I guess your referring to Skybook which is old news...

 

[GreenMan+]

great work on the dog! , looks a lot better.

 

[CALUMINATI]

Props NES, dog looks awsome !

Well assuming then ya was paying into Caja while working there ya might have a chance, but would not hold my breath

 

[BruceSchwartz]

I hate people that substitute "ya" for "you".

OK how bout youins?

 

[lori@tropics]

Call the Caja....Employee rights are very clear when it comes to compensation. Just like mandatory raises, vacation pay, proof of sales (if you are entitled to your 10%). Each of you is entitled to a month of pay for every year you worked there with a 7 yr maximum. Employers can only F around so much before someone gets tired of their shit. In this case there are many of you who got screwed. On the other side of the spectrum, Employees can now quit without notice and receive full compensation. It used to be 30 days and if they left earlier they would lose money. Go figure. Owners beware, make sure you know the labor laws. I hope this ends fairly for all of you.

 

[AmericanEagle]

You are totally right Lori@Tropics, I spoke to my laywer on this matter, and since we very well know the names of owners and the main heads of the book, it would be rather easy to cause them trouble. They might think they are covered by hiding behind company names and such, but in legal matters they are more vulnerable than what they believe. Also, it is very easy to get attention from the media, (la Nación thrives in reminding everybody gambling is ilegal and they love putting sportsbooks in shame) but these actions would cause harm to the industry as a whole, which is something I would not like to do because I have many friends that would be affected. This forum represents a democratic channel to speak openly about this and keep the problem within the house, so to speak. Hopefully this issue will be resolved promptly, and one could come here to speak well of those that have so far not kept their word...

Did not anyone learn from the BOS fiasco? Like it or not, if the book does not wanna pay there aint a fucking thing you or the Gov can do bout it..All they have to do is claim they owe $$ are now bankrupt and thats it....

Move on guys

they got away with that for two reasons

a) they believed the management when they said 'wait , dont sue us....you will get paid' and when they paid a % of course they only paid to the ones that kept quiet

b) they did nothing when they were selling their assets back and forth.......ACs .......cisco switches .......etc

In summary, you want to get paid.........initiate a lien on whatever assets there are......NOW

No shot
