      I'm in shocked. That this happen to coach.... A great stooges in the WWE promos ring performances. Then they piss on him with many other wrestlers from the past. The more rich a company is & they got everything from you. They will throw you away like a peace of garbage.

      No matter what you think about coachmen he's a good dude. I remember meeting him in 2001 me and my friend in our hometown they were doing an event and coach was nice enough to take a picture and I told him hurry up and take the picture. Rest Ben's so he's not here anymore that's besides the point but then Coachman laughed and said yeah hurry up ben you're taking too long. No matter what he was still a good dude and honestly honestly he was told to do what he had to do to make money but obviously the way they did him. Is dirty but that's how it is people make excuses when they think they own the world very sad. Hopefully they paid him though cuz if not that would be dirty but I believe they probably didn't pay him but then again who knows I wasn't there but the fact that he's talking about it he probably didn't get paid very sad to be loyal and just get scammed like that

    I once worked at a place for about 7 years. I knew everyone, and everyone knew me. I wasn’t the boss, but was part of leadership. Had almost everyone to my house for annual parties. I was well liked/respected. I had a serious health scare, and had to take time off to address it. When I returned 4 weeks later, the attitude towards me, was that I now owed everyone for covering me. Like I was off traveling the world or something. When my disease flared up again 3 months later, they asked me to resign. I was so offended I signed the paper in anger and left. NOT ONE person reached out to me to see if I was okay, or if I was even alive, until about 3 years later via an email. It was several paragraphs of some things that needed my signature, followed by a last line about “hoping I was doing better”. I told them to FK OFF, and take me to court if they want my signature on anything.
    Your coworkers are not your friends or your family, no matter what they say. Good people are rare. Seek them out.

      💯.. same story as far as loyalty , being well liked going the extra mile etc.. btw I hope your mental is intact and your health is in great condition after 7 years took medical leave for 3 weeks cause my wife had a heath scare giving birth and needed my assistance. When returned back to the work you would’ve thought I slept with my bosses and coworkers wife’s 😂😂.. they changed my schedule , demoted me outta my position stuck me on weekends when I was longest tenured employee, made me work every holiday and was scheduling me on my day off . I don’t play with people tryna play with me so I got up outta there and got laid on my way out learned a valuable lesson around that time . Thanks for sharing your story 🫡

      I got bullied after they moved me to the worst possible department when I returned after my health scare. The manager told me my health issue wasn't permanent despite it being entirely undiagnosed at the time. Guess what? It's permanent. I reported the harassment from 2 people to my general manager. I broke down crying and said if I hadn't tried to take my own life as a teenager, I know for a fact I would've tried now as a result of the abuse. I luckily managed to cling onto the job, and eventually had it out with both of those people. One of them instantly showed how sorry they are, and for the last 3 years we've been friends. The other cunt just took all of my fury and didn't even so much as try to justify it. Her own grandson (he also worked with us at the time) told her it was her fault, he was shocked to hear I even shouted at somebody because I just treat everyone with respect because I didn't want to lose my job.

    My mom worked for a nursing home for 30 years. A model employee went multiple years with perfect attendance, did the job of 3 people, skipped lunches and breaks to get work done, truly cared about the residents, and had ood relationships with her coworkers. She switched to a less physical job that paid better cause she physically couldn't do it anymore. They didn't even throw her a going away party. She had organized countless going away parties for others. They didn't do anything for her and nobody even stopped by to wish her luck or say goodbye. She never got any appreciation for what she did there. Hearing her cry while saying all of this broke my heart and taught me an important lesson: your employer doesn't give a crap about you, you're there to work and that's it.

      If you work hard, you have to do it for yourself, not others. Theres no shame in enjoying being a productive worker. And if you expect them to give it back or appreciate it, youll always be heart broken.
      I always tell my bosses who thank me for the hard work, "listen, I work this way for myself, it makes me feel good, I enjoy it. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with you, your managerial skills or the work environment you create. I would work this way at any job, for any person, because thats who Iam."
      Shows them off the bat that good workers cant easily be manipulated, because they will try and no one else is going to look out for you.

Im not talking about idiots that spring to violence as a solution for everything, but the idea of not backing yourself or allowing yourself or loved ones to be walked over under the guise of "being the bigger man" is so stupid. It's also become a bit of a security blankets for cowards that dont want to genuinely confront others, especially bullies.

Coach didn't say he contacted Vince directly, so I think Vince didn't even knew this happening. Bouncing check is just not sounds like Vince. I can't recall any other stories from people who hates Vince ever said about their check bounced or they are not getting paid (unlike ECW). Vince MO is getting a contract that will cost him as little as he can, but he will pay whatever amount agreed upon.

His segments with Eric Bischoff, the Rock, Stone Cold, Vince, DX, John Cena, William Regal etc were gold. Treating someone like that who’s been nothing but loyal for 20 years is just morally wrong.

    I feel The Coach on this one. You work your butt off for someone; you stay loyal to them, and you defend them. Yet when "winning time" rolls around, they don't think enough of you to even give you the time of day. Who would want to work in such a climate of disrespect? Not me, that's for sure!

    This just goes to show that companies will want employees to go "above and beyond" for the business, but when it's time for compensation or a show of gratitude everything is lost. It's truly sad reality.

    I am sorry Jonathan Coachman went through that. He did A LOT for WWE during his time there. The sad truth is many employers don't care for their employees. They can make you seem as though you're valuable, amazing, etc. only to give you the pink slip at any time. That's why no job is worth risking health, family, etc. I was shocked when learning medical faculty were fired from a public university where I work, because I thought they had tenure and did research that always got funded from external organizations. One did cancer-related research, which I always thought was essential. They got fired, and that also told me despite seniority, education, and experience...you can lose your job at any time. Don't be afraid to ask for a raise after doing so much for a company and see if they will show you their gratitude.

    This hurts. I always enjoyed Coach, i had high hopes for his return and it sucks that he'll never return again

    People don’t need you til they need you. Remember, people aren’t loyal to you, they are loyal to the need of you. Once their need of you is gone, so is the loyalty

    He's being extremely generous to them all the same. Not paying an invoice for services rendered is theft. Pure and simple.

      Plain and simple. Its insane the levels of sociopathic behavior extremely wealthy individuals and corporations have towards trying to get people to work for free and get free labor.

    I know the feeling, I sympathize. Worked for different companies, knew people, got along well, but whenever a crisis came up, I was always let go. Several times. I believe in working hard, showing up on time, doing my best. But, NEVER trust a company. Sleep with one eye open, don't turn your back.

    Coach's heel turn in 2003 will always by fave ever turn. It was just so random and unexpected and he took that ball and ran all the way with it. Heel Coach was awesome.
