Collateral, collateral, collateral. If leasing companies had actually looked at the collateral perhaps this would not have gone as far as it did.

From the Yahoo—Listserve:

.....all the employees were not crooks. All of the employees I personally knew were honest hard-working people (like you I presume) who needed to feed their families and unaware of the scam. After all, it was a job; we had no knowledge of the sham. Furthermore, we the employees are still owed at least three weeks wages some even five weeks. I also had my medical insurance deducted from my last paycheck only to realize that my daughter's emergency room claim was rejected due to the premium NOT being paid by the NorV unprincipled management...I just received the bill yesterday. And I have heard of much worse cases such as one employee responsible for $80k to $90k due to premiums not being paid. Believe me, we the honest hard-working employees, also, together with you and all the good customers, anticipate seeing those responsible in hand-cuffs.

I understand that all of the Norvergence employees were hurt right along with the customers, but I have a hard time believing that if Norvergence was still in existence that you'd be speaking to me in such civil tones. I think it would be more likely you'd be lying to me and hiding behind Norvergence policies. If
anyone from customer service reading this recognizes my name I think you know what I'm talking about. I have a laundry list of names catalogued along with false promises made over the last year of trying to deal with 4 Norvergence contracts spread across 3 companies. I was lied to by salespeople, customer service reps, customer service managers, escalations,
the escalations manager, the regional VP, and the VP of customer service (actually she didn't lie to me, she just refused to acknowledge that I existed). My Norvergence problem is severely compounded by the individual failures that I have been met with over the last year. These failures are the results of
Norvergence employees who took advantage of a system that allowed them to shirk responsibility whenever possible.

As these employees make their way into other telecommunications companies, I am confident that they will continue their legacy of incompetence, failure
and lies. Furthermore, I'm sure that their efforts will be encouraged and rewarded by dishonest telecom giants like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and MCI, just to name a few. The same companies that made the Norvergence promises so attractive to companies like ours. The same companies that have slowly been
destroying this country, one phone line at a time while employing thousands and thousands of so-called hard working individuals just trying to feed their
families. You can bluster and yell and overreact all you want, but the fact remains that what each individual did at Norvergence contributed to the situatioun that has hurt 11,000 small to mid-size businesses. In many
cases, these are small, family owned businesses, now faced with thousands in losses from downtime, the leases, legal fees, the overall stress of dealing with this situation, and the prospect of crawling back to the companies we ran from at your urging. So no, we are not the same, we have not been equally burdened. As Norvergence employees you fed the flames of your
evil machine with the souls of companies like mine, and you did it happily until the walls came down around you. Now you conspire with each other to fool your next employer and join the ranks of another deception based product, again in the attempts to feed your family or some other nonsensical justification for the careers you've chosen.

I have no pity, no understanding and no tolerance for anyone that ever counted themselves among the employees at Norvergence.
