Ow!
Was it rape charges or sexual harassment? I am sure that you need to be anon if you are going to write stuff like that... but you need to have proof to be spreading this kind of stuff too... are there any newspaper articles or anything that even hints at these being rumours? |

| Check the Rocky Mountain News or the Denver Post. The rape happened before people got canned. Rhythms has been like that for 2 years. I don't have any problem going to court on these issues. A Rhythms supervisor had a toy on his desk that depicted a alien having anal sex with a dog. It took 8 months of complaints to get that toy off his desk. That supervisor is now a DIRECTOR at Rhythms and the person that complained the loudest was axed a couple of months ago.
Rhythms is a horrible company with supervisors and managers that intimidate and scare the employees so they don't complain. The people that really care about customers and DSL are given menial jobs while the suck-ups and liers are promoted. Rhythms HR plays the game and they have no problem terminating people who question the system.
Keep in mind that management insists they had enough money and there would be no lay-offs just 3 days before they axed all those people. Rhythms is just a tournament of lies. I have emails for supervisor positions and 6 guys and 1 woman made the final round of interviews. They hired 4 young females that were not even on the final list and one male.
Managers also have told people to complete lines that they know will fail so Rhythms can make their numbers. All of this will come out in court via emails and pictures.
If your a Rhythms employee I suggest you call the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and a civil lawyer. If your a stockholder I suggest you call the SEC. |

|  I'm not trying to bash or anything .. but ... if you left for greener pastures how do you know about events that happened 3 days prior to the layoffs?
I'm just trying to keep things in the realm here... you are accusing people of some pretty serious stuff in a public forum. I would have proof handy and not just suggestions to see an article in a local paper.
You say you don't have a problem going to court and that's great. If I were you though, I wouldn't come to a public forum and state accusations like this without concrete proof that you can reproduce.
You are opening yourself up for a huge slander / defamation lawsuit here as I am quite sure the Rhythms people still employed are actively following this.
I assure you I am not an employee or affiliated with Rhythms at all. I just don't want this to get too far out of hand. Like I said, the best thing you can do if you want to keep this up would be to come up with some concrete proof. We cannot verify stories.
And people collaborating with you don't count. Everyone knows it isn't hard to make 3 or 4 accounts here. |

| As an ex-employee I can verify the waste that takes place. Big shots eat steak dinners on the stockholders very often. One guy, that I know of (I'm sure there are many more) is shipped in every week (for a three day "work" week) from San Francisco to Denver. He has his transportation (flight and rental car), housing, meals, et al paid for, in full. I know the guy, he's a complete jackass who pays no respect to those who work under him (I did work for him, but have since left) nor does he do anything except work the company dole.
I doubt that any company in the world would condone rape, nor did I hear about it prior to leaving the company in November. However, nothing about the money munching V.P.s or higher would surprise me. They have concern neither for the stockholders or their employees.
I wouldn't discount anything this guy said, as it may be true. How, prey tell, should this guy prove his accusations to you on a bulletin board? You want links, attachments, a newspaper stuck to your screen, 300 witnesses? The M.O. of Rhythms everyday business and distribution of knowledge was ALWAYS based on rumor ("You didn't hear it from me but..."), innuendo and lies. It's a pathetic place, run by pathetic people. |

The truth is not slander. I have polaroids of what was on the managers computer desk. Call the Arapahoe County Sheriffs office about the rape. Call the Civil Rights Commission and ask if they are getting a lot of complaints on Rhythms. I know of at least 60 current and former Rhythms employees who are planning on suing Rhythms. Take a look at who Rhythms promotes and who they don't. I will gladly supply emails and pictures in a court of law. All the things except the rape I witnessed first-hand. I also have a few friends who are still at Rhythms. |
