Here’s the scoop on someone of whom to beware, courtesy of Ashley Jardis, Brad’s wife:
Working With a Psychopath
For the last couple of months, I have endured the life experience of working with a psychopath. His name is Jeramie Samphere. My husband and I didn’t know he was a psychopath when we hired him (he was paid over $1200 total for his services) as campaign manager of the Sheriff’s race we were currently involved in. We just thought he was a little strange – not unlike the rest of us. We later found out that he was a former Jehovah’s Witness, so we figured he would be great at helping us with one of the most critical parts of campaigning – door knocking. He seemed to have some really good ideas, and sounded like he knew what he was talking about. He also put us in touch with some amazing people, whom I am forever grateful for their help and hard work.
About four weeks ago, while out door knocking with Jeramie, Brad noticed some aggressive and “pushy” behavior from him. He mentioned it to Jeramie and asked him to stop behaving that way. (more…)
It’s like this. New mover Johnson Rice spent five hours packing the truck with three guys. We had it unloaded in under thirty minutes. Usually people moving in buy pizza and beer for the movers, but Johnson has upped the ante and hired Mandrik to cater the event!!
