Ladies, I recommend that you shouldn't work for her agency in Fort McMurray. For me being there from May16/06 till May24/06, I was suppose to be there for another week but good thing she fired me. I heard good things and bad things, I must say that I shouldn't of went there. She will accuse you of stealing clientals, she will force you to do a drug test, which Im fine with that, she will take your phone away for a day, I got my cell back the next day but numbers are all deleted. So I lost alot of numbers due to her saying that I stold clientals from her. Paige you know Im advertised on here so clients do call me on my cell and I do save the name and numbers, I got numbers world wide sweetie. You have to pay $300.00 for photos but you dont get the picture cd that she promise you get to keep. Basically your fraud and I had my females friends and they warned me not to work for you, so I should of listen!! She will threaten you with the police and she will get the receptionist to harrass you too. Im not to impressed on how you treated me or other ladies. What bs do you got to say now??

Omg I maybe be venting out right now, this is the truth!!

Anna first off this is going to be my only response to this thread. The reason we asked to see your phone was because when work came in no one was to be found, you were there for a week and there was no problems. You 3 ladies were not locked down as other places and free to come and go as you please. Allanah who was there for a week called a few times telling me you were going tanning to moxie's or whatever. I had no reason not to trust any of you.
I had called to get ahold of another lady and several attempts and there was NO answer. A text message from your phone came through that was ment for the lady who was out (with a client) to come home quick cause Paige and tell Paige the guy she was with was a sisters ex boyfriend.
As I explained to the other lady when she told me the truth she was out with the client that she liked that if she would have called me and said there was someone she clicked with and not lied it would have been a different story. I had no problem with you guys being out, my problem came from the lie's. I asked my friend to check your phone because I have had ladies go online and send text's before from people and all they did was log onto the telus page and enter numbers in attempting to get them in trouble.

If you remember when this was going on you were still the only one who went out, at that time the only thing I thought you were guilty of was trying to cover another girls ass for her. Which strangly enough I understand, after all you have to work with those girls and its not your job to lie for them but busting them could have made things difficult for you.

When my friend took the phone she then found numberous clients numbers in the phone along with text messages confirming the text came from your phone, and it was brought to my attention that you all were out seeing clients that I had previously sent you too.

As for mention of the police, I did mention the police, driving someones vehical without a licence if something happens, not insurured isn't cool.
The problems that accured that week were plenty and at the end of the day I wasn't planning on sorting out who did what cause every girl lied to me.
Tony is right, to a degree before I use to be pushy and try and push compition out. After awhile I realized I don't have to they eliminate themselves. I take out 35,000 a year just in phone book advertizing, and about 32,000 in ads in the newspaper. There is no point in me taking ads out of this nature if Im gonna just be letting girls walk all over me. Its not ruining the biz in fort mcmurray its called owning a company, I don't charge the girl ad fee's, or extentions. Expecting ladies to be avalible and not out seeing clients on personal time and I can not get ahold of them is not unreasonable.

As for my the lady who was doing the phones, I will have to speak with her. I was at the hospital with a friend and made a few calls to the house but you were not one of the ladies I spoke with and if she miss treated you in anyways other than explain why I had my made choice I apologize and will be dealing with it.

As for the CD, the photo's were taken a week ago usually it takes 3-4 weeks for the package to be done. I think emailing her is the best idea, all I require is one photo for the site, and newspaper.

Lastly, I'm not going to make everyone happy with the way I run things, along the way I like many people make my mistakes but your attemps to say I was not justified in my actions are coming from your point of view, the same person that I seen incourrage dishonesty among the ladies. I have had several ladies leave but the good ones still are around 3-4 years later.

Wow. This is almost a surprise, but I should have expected it. Anna (Jade as I know you) You were fired from an agency up here and then began leaving messages about bad business ethics, stealing, telling me I took your money (money you paid for photographs) for drugs. I've never done a drug in my life, and I don't even have friends in my life who do them that I know of. I'm so strongly against it I will not allow anyone around me to smoke a joint even.... so where you come up with that theory?

I called you back to discuss where these preposterous ideas were coming from and you cursed, yelled and hung up. Then you called me back AGAIN leaving more messages, no real point to them, just a lot of name calling and swearing.

The last I spoke with you I informed you that I still had work to do on your photo package and that there was no reason I would not still give them to you, at which point you refused to give me an address to mail the CD to.
We came to the agreement that I was to email you the rest of the photographs. This was about 24 hours ago, and now I read this?

I'm very disappointed to say the least, for you to threaten 'taking down my business' and warning that if I was in Vancouver I would 'be dead' when the entire situation had NOTHING at all to do with my photography business, and was all to do with you being up here, seeing clients behind the agencies back, etc, is pretty pathetic.

As for your cell phones being 'taken' You were all informed that if you didn't want to be fired you were to hand over your cell phones just until the morning when paige would be in town to deal with what was going on. You said there was no reason whatsoever you couldn't hand it over because you had nothing to hide. Sad that this was just another lie. Sad that I have had to spent the last ten minutes wasting my time writing this, when I know you will just lie some more.

Basically no matter what I do you will continue to bad mouth me all because of a bad situation that YOU got yourself into.

option A) I finish the photo package, email them to you, you continue to badmouth me and lie.
option B) I discontinue working on your photographs and don't email them to you, you continue to badmouth me. Either way I lose.

However I'm not going to lie to you, steal from you, I don't want to stoop to your level. I will finish the photos, email them to you, and just hope that you have at least the decency to stop spreading falsehoods about my business. Telling me " I know a lot of girls in the biz, i can mess you up, make you never get work again " Why do people have to resort to such childish antics? If you had never given out your personal # to clients, or text messaged the other girls who were sneaking out with clients to warn them the boss was calling looking for them, none of this would have happened.

I think I could sit here and talk all type, but I would be wasting my breath. I can see you've already proven to be two-faced. Telling me things were fine and you were sorry you badmouthed me, please email the photos to you as planned when they were ready, then posting on here that I ripped you off.
You steal clients from an agency, lie, etc, and somehow all of this becomes bad business ethics on my part as the photographer? I did my job, I took your photographs, I sent them to the newspaper, put you on the website, etc. The other girls didn't even pay for their photographs before they were fired, but you don't see me going after them do you? I told you when you called that they were more than welcome to have their photographs done and sent and I was informed they didn't wish to speak to me.


Very sad.

very very sad.
