Description

I was hired at Thrive LGBT REUNITED as COO 7/26/23. Start date said 8/7/23, but I began working immediately. It’s not even a nonprofit as I discovered by this Latoya Mathews, or whatever name he/she is going by. Myself and another girl worked all day Monday and a few hours today only to be “fired”. This is after I uploaded my banking info. I think the person wants to have a “thriving” business but lacks the social skills and integrity of a business owner. He/she had these “deposits” set up as “INCOME” in the accounting system. I tried to say deposits on equipment is actually a liability because the money isn’t yours. Well to see all the complaints on here regarding people not getting their laptops or the deposit is scary. I sent links to less expensive laptops and printers for under $400 total. He/she didn’t want to hear it. Scam. Employee beware! Something is up because he/she told me they’re getting all this money because of being black and transgender, taking advantage of the current climate. Said no one has asked him/her to show proof of 501c3 status. Slack wouldn’t even grant a discounted rate because their due diligence said they were not a nonprofit.
