A Rogue Enterprise
Posted by Bossip Staff
New allegations are being made in the case of Hovvy’s Club 40/40 “sweatshop tactics:”
Workers are now claiming the club’s general manager, Desiree Gonzalez, threatened one employee she would “f*** up his tax life” for having any involvement in the class-action suit.
According to a letter filed in court by the workers’ lawyer, the 40/40 boss allegedly told another worker she would “lock him up” if he refused to sign a release for the court case. Hundreds of former employees could be eligible to collect on the claims if their case wins in court
Sounds like that particular manager could end up costing Jay-Z quite a bit of dough. Kudos to these former employees for standing up to that gangsta-styled management. Developing…..

I believe it!
Jay better call some sort of meeting to straighten all their @sses out quick
He is playful,right? he is a hot member of ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” which is for casual encounter for romance. he has dated several hot girls on that club.
Whoever runs the business needs to replace the management staff, but I guess they can’t while the lawsuit is going on. Now isn’t the wrong time to admit they hired the wrong managers. They need to hurry up and settle and get those people out of there though.
Has anyone ever worked in a restaurant? Lol man if you are a server,bus-boy, cook or delivery driver, you are a slave..Only the management has leverage or the main cook…Everyone else is expendible so this has little to do with nothing
The 40/40 Club isn’t the only club that operates like this!
Mo Money, Mo problems!!!
Jay better check his staff before he has to write bigs checks to his staff….
WONDER WHAT BEY THINKS?!
hmmmm
you know alot of night life establishments have been on the local news in NYC for not paying workers their money
Pick better friends Jay!
lmao @ “f*** up his tax life” imma say that the next time a peasant threatens me.
bitchez
Sounds like the manager needs to check her words too ‘cuz I’m sure she’s just as dispensable as her employees….
Po chile…po po chile
I’m gonna have to be the skeptic person and call BULLSHIT! Sounds like the employee’s are trying to collect any way they can.
Oh Daxn! I mean wow! Scare tactics huh? Mess up my tax life. You don’t f*ck with people and Uncle Sam….they will kill a nil behind shyt like that.
This is some mafia shyt. I want a Corned Beef sandwich.
Dayum!
Success……..sucks!
This is so stupid to me. I always had mad respect for Jay’s business skills but now he is slipping. You don’t let your image get tarnished for a lawsuit that is probably well less than 100 G’s. His name is all up in the papers over a lawsuit by some damn waiters…….WTF. Whatever they are asking for can’t be much. You would never hear Donald Trump name in the paper getting sued by some damn waiters. If The Donald is being sued, it’s for millions and some real estates is involved. A smart businessman that made 83 million last year would never have his rep trashed over a couple of disgruted waitstaff employees. Give them some money & move on.
Got one!!!! Oh la la its sooo good
I doubt if Shawn Carter had anything to do with shit directly…..for real…just poor management….I’d get rid of all’em and start over….
damn that staff @ 40/40 is tripping..they need to get those people out and get new management in a.s.a.p…i wonder when security will try to sue Jay for what the manager claims next?..smh
She is the co-owner with Jay not just a GM. SMH, he better get “out of bed” with her quick.
I dont have much to say except I really dig Joe camels sweats in this pic.
You know the old saying……WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL, YOU ARE THE OWNER, WHEN THINGS ARE GOING BAD, YOU ARE JUST AN INVESTER.
All business owners know to operate within the law, the quickest way to lose your fortune, is to do others wrong. Karma is a mother and she comes back twice as hard..It’s easier to just follow the laws and regulations. Screwing the hired help out of their money, is not good at all, he should’ve known better than that..Come on, Jay, we thought you were much smarter than that, you won’t be able to keep growing, if you continually keep losing money to lawsuits and yor insurance premiums will go sky high, STOP THE MADNESS!!!!
sorry about the spelling-(typo)–your
I thought Jay was a good business man oh he is a business atleast thats what he said
I can believe it because that chick is CRAZY!!! I’ve been there one time and had an interaction with her and she is RUDE and trys to pull rank…
Jay need to pay those people off because the class action suit will ruin his rep and the club’s rep. That woman should be fired because she is obviously not doing a good job managing. She must think she’s the owner when Jay’s not there.
I know this to be true. I opened the 40/40 club in Vegas this past New Year. Desiree is a nightmare. Girls were walking off the job because they were getting shafted. One chick was trying to get her tip money, and Desiree (bitch) just looked at her and said “what the F*** are you still doing here?” I quit after New Years flop/fiasco, and I never got my paycheck…ever. Other girls got theirs and their money was short.
is 40/40 a strip club?
desiree was always cool to me. but i have heard she can be a super cunt. she is married to juan perez, who is the other partner in the 40/40 club. He and jay are friends. they own other businesses together. and des has mad experience in the club world….. they are from harlem/washington heights… all this is on the website, and their ghetto ass press section, that is PDF’s scanned in>>>> GHETTOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! so dont think i go no inside scoop its all there, just do some research
sucks for hovie…. leave them street thugs behind cuzzo…. isnt that why u try and get rich, and let the other n*gg*z from marcy tell it, he allready left them behind, except for his butt buddy tata, and bleek who treats like a SON, SON…. i mean he keeps him, around, but someone has to be the hype man, shit HOV, u havent put out a successful act EVER. dame did that… anyway, i got done ranting…. maybe your consigliaire, mr meniellaire, needs to keep the thuggery out out of the one business, he is not all uP in…..
holla!

Jay should try and settle this whole thing out of court, and reason with the former employees. Otherwise the outcome isn’t looking to good in his favor.
Anybody hear about a free Nas concert some where in the city (NYC) today or tomorrow?

LOL @ ur SN!!
umm Jay come on now, u gotta pay ya peoplez
This story is sad but true, I was actually going to apply for a job at the one here in vegas, and I’ve heard from many people that 40/40 is the worst place to work. The management screws the waitresses on their checks and their tips and they treat the employees like shit. Jay Z better get that shit straightened out before his clubs go under.
B-O-S-S-I-P IS A BREEDING GROUND FOR IGNORANCE !
Jay, I’m going to need you to check your homegirl. I mean, I know that’s your peoples, but this chick is abot to fuck up your and your clubs rep. settle with those people and fire her ass ASAP
i think it was totally fine
I bought that hoodie for $40 at aj wright lol
