Through a friend, I was able to get an interview with Vertex, a telecom company located in downtown Los Angeles. I was hired as a Network Operator, what I thought was a permanent position until a riff in the partnership caused a split.
2 partners (Xian Dong, aka Shawn Li/Lee aka Dexter Li/Lee and Dr. Paul C. Meng) of the 4 partnered company split from Vertex and formed United Communications Network (UCN) and hired me (and 6 others from Vertex). Approximately 9 months later, UCN became bankrupt and we were laid off.
One of the 2 partners; Xian
Dong Li aka Shawn Li/Lee aka Dexter Li/Lee; asked for my resume and said that
he would keep me in mind if he has employment for me. Mr. Li/Lee was the cause
of my most recent employment troubles.
