Talented Technician Becomes the Target of His Company’s Greed, But While He Set in Motion a Defense, His Personal Life Unravels.

In this gripping tale, the Original Poster (OP) recounts their struggle against a corrupt AV company, leading to a carefully orchestrated plan that brings about the company’s downfall.

A Passion for Production

The OP starts a video production business after working in the TV industry. To support themselves, they take a job at a luxurious hotel as an Audio-Visual Technician. They excel in this role, quickly becoming the Lead Technician.

Layers of Leadership

OP navigates various bosses, working closely with the hotel’s director and salesperson. They are part of a larger AV company called Alpha AV, which has a contract with the hotel. The hotel itself is owned by Billion Dollar Corporation (BDC), a major player in the industry.

OP’s skills and connections lead to opportunities within BDC, handling video production for the corporation’s events. They become well-known among staff and event planners, earning trust and even security clearance to work on high-profile events.

Shifting Tides

In 2012, Alpha AV’s contract with BDC ended, and a rival company, Beta AV, took over. As part of the deal, OP must transition to Beta AV, moving from one company to another in a single day.

A Rough Transition

OP faces challenges with their new employer, as Beta AV sees them as a rival rather than an asset. Policies change, impacting the technicians and storage organization. OP’s expertise is disregarded.

Declining Standards

Beta AV’s focus on profits leads to overcharging clients and delivering subpar events. OP’s reputation suffers, and sales begin to slow as clients look to outside AV companies.

New Leadership, New Problems

A new director arrives at the hotel, exacerbating the issues of overcharging clients and talking down to them. OP’s reputation is further threatened, and they worry about the hotel’s decline.

A Sinking Ship

Beta AV’s poor performance leads to the loss of long-standing clients and a drop in work hours. OP and their colleagues struggle to make ends meet and find it impossible to maintain secondary part-time jobs.

A Coordinated Escape

Frustrated, OP organizes a mass exodus of AV technicians at the BDC hotel. They all begin job searching with promising results. OP hints at the upcoming shake-up to friends at Alpha AV and BDC.

The Final Straw

In a seemingly coordinated move, all AV techs give their two-week notices simultaneously just before a major BDC event. The inexperienced Beta AV director is left to manage the event alone.

A Corporate Crisis

Beta AV’s inability to deliver on promises breaches their contract with BDC. Alpha AV, having received a heads-up, steps in to provide exceptional service for BDC’s event.

The Absorption

Alpha AV absorbs the struggling Beta AV, regaining its position in BDC hotels. Clients return to the hotel, and its reputation is restored. OP’s plan has worked flawlessly.

No Happy Ending

Despite their success, OP’s personal life suffers. Their financial struggles during the Beta AV years result in repossession, foreclosure, and the closure of their own video production business.

A Forced Change of Plans

OP abandons their dreams and takes jobs with higher pay instead of pursuing passion projects. They admit, “Beta AV took everything from me, but I can proudly say that I was the one tech responsible for taking out an entire company.”

The Price of Victory

OP’s actions played a significant role in dismantling a multi-million-dollar company, but the personal cost was steep. The story serves as a reminder of the complexities of corporate life and the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs and reputation.
