So anyone's free to leave bad reviews of businesses as they like, without any possibility of legal trouble.

    I’m German and I’ve seen the posting about the church on Reddit and answered my suspicions there already.
    My suspicion is, that that priest pocketed the 2nd half for himself. Like, he not just scammed OP but also the church. Why do I suspect that?
    Well, even though I’m non religious now, I was actually raised catholic. If you register yourself as member of one of the recognised religions in Germany you pay “church tax“. Meaning a part of your pay cheque goes automatically to your church. Obviously churches therefore have an administration. Now if there are things like repairs and such, you bring the receipts there and it’s (as far as I remember) either fully or mostly paid by taxes. In other words churches are NOT private institutions like in the US.
    So my suspicion is, that the priest paid op half, but gave the full bill as receipt and pocketed the difference. And OP’s original review stating that he wasn’t paid could have gotten him in hot water. Now he just can’t do the same to others anymore, hence the pissed phone call.

    I have noticed that there are a number of CZcams channels created by car experts or dealers/mechanics. They often devote entire postings on lying dealers with fake ads and sneaky contracts. Chrysler Jeep Dodge seems to be at the top but many other brands are also included. They describe much of what OP went through. Everyone needs to keep posting the bad reviews but also send e mails to the manufacturer telling them you will never buy their brand again. This can cost a dealer his franchise with too many complaints.

But car manufactures learned a long time ago that dealers that piss off customers created customers that abandoned both the dealer and the brand. That’s one of the reasons the dealership almost begs you for a good review because it affects their franchise with the factory. Really poor dealerships run the risk of having their franchise canceled.

      @benjiro8793 Před 3 měsíci +8

      Remember that OP said that buying in the neighboring state nets a 3 a 5K difference. So if we take the 4 year depreciation cost, then the fact that a second hand car will be more expensive in his state (higher base starting price = higher second hand value). He is probably selling them at a slight loss but in return gets a brand new car every 4 years. So he skips on most costs like tires/breaks/... and other things that will start to appear around that time.
      Hold a car too long, and sure, you can get another 4 a 8 years out of it, but at that point you may start to enter the major repairs (clutch, whatever) range. And that same car has then much more heavily depreciated (way older and more kms). Car second hand sales values are not a smooth line down, its a curve downwards, high value at start, but as age + km rack up, that drops a lot more.
      The same rule applies to IT, if you keep holding your computer parts too long, they are harder to sell and the depreciation a lot more. But time it right, you can snap up some deals on new hardware, but still sell your old, and upgrade to a new generation for a small up-fee.

    I worked fulltime/salaried at one place. About a year after I left, they wanted to hire me on as a consultant just for a day or two. Yeh, no worries. I was to swap some cards in a server, ie, bring it down, disassemble, swap, reassemble, bring it back up again. I wanted to do it lunchtime (would take maybe an hour), but they were insisting to do it "after hours". Kfine. I show up on the appointed day a little before 5, figure I can wait off-the-clock for at least a little while. No one's making any moves to log off, etc. 15min later, nothing, 30min later, still nothing, so I go to the bosses (2) and ask them what's going on, when is everyone getting off so I can start the swap? _"Oh, Joe usually stays until 7, and Mike maybe until 8, but he's busy, so might be staying up until 9 or so."_ What?!? I ask if they're serious, ie, why tell me to show up at 5 when I won't be started until 9, and not finished until 10?? No answer. So I just shrug and say, okay, it's on your dime... _"Uhhh, what?"_ I then pointed out that we had a deal for pay by-the-hour. They had me come in at 5. If I have to put in 4hrs just sitting around and waiting, I'm *STILL* on-the-clock, and that's time they *STILL* have to pay me for. They went around telling everyone to get off and go get something to eat or whatever, and in just minutes I was able to start. Funny how that works...

    as far as I am concerned... Since they already signed documents, this is vehicle theft against the OP in story 1.
    As far as the church thieves story goes, as soon as you have a document proving they threatened you in any way, that's proof enough to everyone else that the church, not you, screwed up. All I had to say was, "my prior boss made me sign an NDA under duress after I did not appreciate their response to my (traumatic loss of a child's life), so I can't tell you how badly their response to my situation impacted my mental health. If I say anything more, it could risk my career, safety, and legal standing." and literally everyone hates them now lol. A mental health wellness center should never be putting employees in a situation where the employee has to sign an NDA because the boss responded poorly to a personal crisis. They lost the $20k/month in pure profits I made them, and several of my clients. I heard they're considering shutting down one of their business locations now (they were already stretched too thin, and hemorrhaging employees, so noone was putting in the work to keep things running).

    as an ICT Specialist and havgin done this for amny of my cutomers it costs between 1-2K to get rid of a bad google review. this process is done through the courts where the company with the bad review uses a company that deals with google and these reviews are treated like slander, and since most ppople dont show up to defend their bad review in court they get taken down in 99% of the cases.. so ontop of that 50k they would have spend double that removing the bad google reviews..

    A little extra context for anyone who doesn't know, I'm pretty sure Joseph of Nazareth, husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a carpenter and Jesus himself would likely have been taught carpentry himself as a child. So yes, it is extra ironic that a church would screw over a carpenter

    Story #2: Yeah.. Sadly that's true. That's why you don't use an account that's tracable to YOU when you leave a review in Germany! The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" applies to reviews also. And if you can't proove, that they did, what you say in the review it's considered slender. But for heavens sake! It makes me sick to see, that in Germany, that's allegedly a secular state the (cath.) still has too much influence in the government. It makes me sick, thinking about that, in Germany, ONLY the catholic church is allowed to punish their priests for crimes as they see fit! It's some medieval law that allows the church to deal with (e.g. Ch1ld m0l3st3rs) as THEY see fit and the government can't or won't do anything about it! It's just sick, when you know, that they can hurt kids and get away with it because of an medieval law!

He threatened to take me to court. I posted a new one with the things I could prove after I contacted them back and gave them another chance to remedy the situation and they ghosted me.
