the Warren Michigan office is ran by a few crooks who only care about money, they do whatever they want, use you and then try to screw you by messing with unemployment, whatever, Mike Wylie is a punkass boy who does whatever he wants, takes your doubletime, never comes to the jobsite, him & Wendy Serra are a couple of scammers. I worked seven days a week, got laid off, didn’t get unemployment for 4 months, then 5 months after I was off unemployment, Wylie turns me in for spite, payback, whatever, for Jacobs giving me my vacation check, this jackass turns me in to unemployment, and I wasn’t even drawing it for 5 months, that is a hate filled boss right there, and they will not give me a work letter, Instead the jackass fires me, one year after I was laid off from there
