So an employee got the better of Dan Gilbert---- Ha Ha
Throwing around words like "narcissistic," "cowardly betrayal," "disloyalty," "heartless," and "callous" about LaBron when you do shit like this to your own employees.

Jul. 4, 2010
About 1,400 former Quicken employees are rolled into one or more of four lawsuits against Quicken and its founder Dan Gilbert, Rock Financial Corp. and Quicken Vice President David Carroll challenging its policy of not paying overtime to mortgage loan officers.

The first lawsuit, filed in 2004, covers 446 employees at Quicken call centers in Troy, Cleveland and Phoenix. A second lawsuit, filed in 2007, covers employees who tried to opt in later as plaintiffs in the original suit. A third case covers a class of Rock mortgage bankers at separate branch locations, and a fourth lawsuit was filed in May to cover possible new claims stemming from the March opinion from the labor department.

Employees in the lawsuits allege they were instructed to work more than 55 hours a week without overtime, sometimes putting in 70-80 hour weeks while supervisors monitored them from an elevated platform in the same room or by listening in on sales calls to ensure they followed protocol.
