The problem with this has-been designer, former stylist, appears to be that she is the dreaded micro-managing type and is verbally abusive to those who work with her. If you are a web designer and have your own business, she treats you as she does her "interns" (unpaid employees). If you do not cater to her every need, she will not pay you. Craigslist artists should know that "every need" means you must do more than she's agreed to pay you for. This includes late night calls from her having computer problems and expecting you to sit with her on the phone to fix them free of charge. If you play with fire, you will get burned. Ms. Rogiani has the reputation for not being professional, for not being honorable, for being a verbal bully and making threats to her employees. In short, she should not be trusted, is a scam artist and a waste of a human being.

There are more complaints that I have fell across and I suppose I should add what I know I have read here.

A summary of what lengths this woman goes to abuse people and their time:

First complaint I found was a job posting on Craigslist seeking a book keeper. Respondants were interviewed by a person who goes by the name of Corrine (last name unknown). During the interview Ms. Rogiani had each person applying for the job enter and print out checks in order to make sure they know how to operate the Quick Books program. She would sit down next to job applicant and would have questions on how to do this or that in Quick Books. Ms. Rogiani said that this was to make sure she knew how to use Quick Books as many people claim to know it. Corrine said the last person they hired did not. As the final attendee to the interview, whom is the complainer, she stated that she drove a long way for this interview, entered and printed the check as requested, spent time showing Ms. Rogiani how to navigate the Quick Books program, felt something was odd about the interview but kept positive, and also stated that the office was messy and dirty with racks of old clothes smelling of stale cigarettes. As the woman left the office after she was told she would receive a callback if she got the job, she heard Ms. Rogiani laugh loudly and say to Corrine that she has all the checks done. The woman stopped and continued to listen. Corrine said, "All of them are?" Ms. Rogiani said, "Yes. They are all done and I send them now." Corrine said, "Great. So which person did you like? I need to call one tomorrow." Ms. Rogiani laughed and admitted she had no intentions of hiring anyone. She just had to have her checks printed and learn how to use Quick Books so she can do it herself. The woman was enraged and was going to go back to the office to let them know what she thinks about using people like this for a job that does not exist, but did not.

There have been many odd job postings by Ms. Rogiani. Many complaints have been made regarding not being paid as promised. No positions open at Rogiani, Inc. but Craigslist responders have been used as extra hands and promised pay, but never is anyone. She will find any reason to not pay any one. If she pays, she will pay what she wants to pay. If a web designer bills by the hour, she won't pay the invoice claiming she does not believe the amount of hours worked and will not pay it, as she knows you can not easily prove it. A web designer will need to bill at a rate per job, then she will string you a long and have you do everything under the sun for her and then complain about your performance and again refuse to pay you. Or for any reason. This woman tends to be a bully. Has done some stalker-ish things I've read. She sells clothing for yoga, yet has no respect for the yoga community. There is a yoga studio in the complex where her office is located. One yoga student has commented about being called a freak and harrassed by Ms. Rogiani as she walks up the stairs to get to the yoga studio. It was also revealed that this situation of Ms. Rogiani harrassing yoga students became so bad that the yoga studio made Ms. Rogiani aware that they will seek legal actions if she continues. Meanwhile Exhale sells Elisabetta Rogiani yoga clothes and it's only a matter of time as being a part of the yoga community myself that people won't think Ms. Rogiani is very funny. People who do yoga are freaks in Ms. Rogiani's eyes, it's a wonder why she makes clothing for them then. Perhaps she's a washed up has-been who can't sell her frocks. Or perhaps she's just too famous for being a true waste of time.

Only time will tell.
