How do you spell ungrateful?!
After over a year of this jerk having me work for him as personal assistant/secretary, I finally dropped him like a hot potato in April 2008! He made endless promises but never followed thru, never paid me a cent, had a real hard time typing a simple "thank you"! Well, enough is enough!He sent me a website where he uploads photos. Most of his photos are photoshopped crap. I mean they are so bad they reek! One or two are okay. As usual, feeling sorry for him because he was pretty much ignored over there as well as he was during his movie career, I started posting nice comments on his photos. He sent me a PM of thanks, and this guy had no clue that it was me!! (My profile then was a dead giveaway). As soon as he found out it was me, no matter how many nice comments I would leave him, no more thanks!
As a good assistant, I let him know I would comment on other people's photos in order to bring more attention to his photos when said photo-artists would see them at my profile [And I let him know that I would comment on other people's pix so that he wouldn't get jealous; he's kinda insecure!] Every other photographer would invariably leave me thanks for every photo I commented on! Not that it was required, but if I left 7 comments, I'd get 7 "thank yous" back. Simple as that. Those people have incredible manners! But not jared martin. No. One time was all the guy could muster! (I later found out what his hands were tied up with that he couldn't type a simple "thank you" to his personal "secretary", [yes he gave me the title himself, but no pay ever!] but instead posted his nauseating comments on his self-pleasuring at his 66 years of age to sickening bondage images)
After all the work he had me doing for over a year, you'd think the guy would like to show appreciation but no. He only kept coming back at me with more requests. Because I was a fan that he thought he could use and take advantage of indefinitely. I guess he thinks he's a big shot and people owe him.
He thought he could take me for granted, take me for a ride. He thought wrong! Increasingly and in utter frustration, I started rating his photos lower and lower and making my comments cheeky, irreverant and irrelevant, to give him a clue. But this guy doesn't get subtleties so I had to spell it out for him.
There's a lot more to share. Since he never paid me a cent and I am not bound by any confidentiality agreements, I never signed any, I will continue sharing. Unless he chooses to issue a sincere apology. Stay tuned for more on what this guy put me thru. I hope that by reading this, if I ever contacts you and asks you to work for him, you'll know not to hold your breath expecting him to pay you or fulfill his promises. And please ask yourself if you really want to work for someone who will only say "thank you" once in a blue moon for all the many requests he'll have you fulfill for him. Last Christmas I spoke with someone who, back in the day when he was famous, was in pretty much the same position as I, and he treated her no better.
