My name is Rufaro. I was a groundskeeper here at Gardens of Bridgehampton, from January till March 2012. I'm also a resident. I'm disappointed with comments made by property manager Mike Miller, on my job performance and attitude. If you've been a resident here prior to my arrival and after my dismissal, then you have undoubtedly seen me working like a slave. Everything from pressure washing 13 buildings, over 300 units, mulching, maintaining the restrooms ( 9 toilets, including sinks and floors), all the upkeep in maintaining the club house, workout facility, swimming pool area, car wash area and all the garbage on this property. Compliments given to me daily from home owners and renters here, author my confidence in an outstanding job that I have done here. I have even received cash money tips from home owners, thanking me for the great work that I was doing. Proof of my work performance has been documented in HD video, recorded by myself and friends, since the first day I began working here, depicting before and after evidence of great job I""ve done. This includes evidence of the job I've done pressure washing, mulching and the before mentioned. Mike Miller would compliment me every day on the great job that I was doing, which fuels my disappointment in his deception. Judy, HOA director, the person responsible for hiring me to clean up this resort for $10 an hour, and whom, I was warned about by some home owners and whom you can read comments about on this site, was nice in the beginning, but turned on me when I was unable to answer her phone call, due to being busy. I explained to her how that was inevitably going to happened, due to my constant leaf blowing, pressure washing and general busyness. Her disposition changed immediately. This change is evident in audio recordings I have of our conversations. The videos and audios of my experiences here, have been made into a documentary for a music video, by me and my producers, as I'm a guitarist/performer. I remind you, it was my intent from my excitement of being offered this groundskeeper opportunity, to show everyone at Gardens of Bridgehampton in good light. But the evidence and treatment of me shows different. From using a broken pressure washer and being asked to modify light bulbs to fit in ballasts, that they are not made for. A fire hazard for sure!!! I could go on and on. I am a decorated military vet with no criminal history and outstanding references, and DO NOT deserve this disrespect!! Thank you home owners Mrs. Benny, Mr. Klive, Mrs.Gel, and others of you, for your compliments of my work. Any further attempts to dishonor my name and character, will be met with furious publication of my experience here.
