A massive lawsuit just filed by Dov Glick, the proprietor of LiftCo Elevator Group, a prominent elevator installation company reveals explosive allegations that a Jackson Township community leader has been falsely maligning the company's stellar reputation simply to try to take away their business, FAA News has learned.
According to the complaint filed in New York Supreme Court in Rockland County by Nanuet Attorney Jonathan B. Schloss Esq.:
Dov Glick is a second generation installer of elevators. His company has completed installation of over 600 elevator projects in the New York-New Jersey area and have always had a pristine reputation.
However, this reputation has been drastically tarnished by a Jackson Township community leader who is a former employee who took advantage after "learning the ropes" completely from Mr. Glick and then quietly building his own company - by maliciously trying to poach away Glick's vendors and customers.
Ironically, this former employee, who worked as a salesman, used his rabbinic position to induce customers to provide their business. Now he is using this same rabbinic position to malign Mr. Glick.
"He started working for my companies in 2016. I taught him everything from the ground up. At one point he began to schmooze with me to discern even more aspects of the business which were unrelated to his work. What I didn't realize at the time was that he was quietly laying the groundwork for launching his own competitive business completely based on everything he gained from me. Eventually I terminated him after I realized he was taking away customers and doing his own deals with them.
"Even had he left my company on his volition, I would not have had any hard feelings. However, what this guy is doing is engaging in activities that seek to malign my stellar reputation. That is a completely different situation," the court complaint stresses.
Aside from providing the former employee with a job, Mr. Glick also financially supported his schools and even got him out of a troubled situation he got himself into.
The suit demands judgment for slander and defamation.
The former employee has 35 days to answer the complaint.
The story highlights the importance of executing anti-poaching agreements with new employees.
