CANNED and BANNED: Local disabled veteran calls out Frank Productions’ ableism leading to termination by CEO

[Calls out womanizing shift lead and FPC’s trolling of people with disabilities]

Nov. 11, “Veterans Day” 2024, Las Vegas—CEO Joel Plant of Frank Productions endorses his management’s intimidation tactics with staff members who asserts bogus claims of “meeting firearm mentioning,” which led to a venue ban and termination Nov. 8 at his 29 Livingston St. facility.

Fear, loathing, canning and banning of a Madison-area disabled veteran describes the heavy hand of Plant and his corporate management ruffians at the Sylvee. Hazing clients in the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation program is Frank Productions’ disability new hire onboarding method. Up until now, staff members have been reluctant to speak up and speak out against trolling in the workplace by management.

Frank Productions is a group of veteran haters who pride themselves on running a business without them. Plant would rather fill FPC Live’s part-time security staff with students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison than to consider hiring veterans from the Valor building up the street. Despite being eligible for a $2,500 hiring credit, Plant prefers haranguing Burt over a false narrative and a bogus termination, rather than implement a “No Troll Zone” Burt suggested he do at the Sylvee with the money, shortly after being ignored by human resources and management, who saw nothing wrong with the conduct of a coworker named Alex Cotrell that Burt brought forward in a post-election day complaint.

“We have told you that FPC accepted the documentation you provided and implemented the requested accommodations. We may ask for updated information in the future.” Plant explained after Burt was hired 12 months later. The interactive dialogue process form is not required to be filled out for disabled veterans and their record privacy who release information through self-reporting with their primary care provider. “There is no conflict here from our end.  Please let Ms. Davis know if your accommodation needs change in any way.”

The occurrences with Burt’s employers after college witnessed the escalation of aggressive behavior like trolling on the company’s Humanity wall, bogus allegations of threatening guests, demanding the filling out of an interactive dialogue questionnaire one-year after hire and an fundamentally inept persnickety human resources manager and her unwarranted demands, while corroborating with management after their friend and former Majestic Venue Manager Juanita Jackson tenured her resignation, who led the pack as an award-winning troll of staff members.

Both Marcus Corp. and Live Nation, doing business as Frank Productions in the Dane County area prey on people with disabilities who run short-staffed and uneducated regarding the needs of disabled veterans this Veterans Day 2024. Both demand those with disabilities fill out an interactive dialogue questionnaire before consideration accommodation. Those who speak up will be “canned and banned.”

Both companies are micro aggressive while Marcus Corp. openly posts signs with double exclamation marks with associates, Frank Productions uses passive aggressive communication, Marcus Corp. trolls people with disabilities through devices like “Net Promoter Score” software for propaganda allowing management to intimidate associates, while at the Capitol, shift leads at the Sylvee and the Majestic discuss management’s plans for “constructive dismissal.”

Corporate employers in the media industry use intimidation and cancellation tactics to absolve themselves from controversy. In this case, their HR informant, Jadon Bower, intimidated Burt for speaking to his ex-girlfriend who was working with him and engages in territorial behavior as a shift lead when staff members come near his turf. His turf is the Sylvee and the Red Zone, endorsed by Plant, Davis and his management team, who groom and back him. Burt sent him text messages explaining he “stay on his side” after his cancellation of concerns for trolling and request he act professional when working with Burt.

Bower, along with the Majestic team, see nothing wrong with bullying and intimidating people with disabilities and when they speak up, they get “canned and banned,” which is the mechanism Plant used on Nov. 8, who did not offer an opportunity to rebuttal in the termination meeting with Burt. Now Burt is on the Live Nation ban list for standing up to a womanizer and ableist whose values do not align with the Sylvee’s “All Are Welcome Here” statement on the door. Burt asked Bower and his Sylvee Venue Manager Mike Newhouse, “What would Grandma Sylvia think of all of this?”

As the brand owner of Outpost 422, Burt reports his interactions with Frank Productions and Marcus Corp. to Wisconsin Watch, the Wisconsin Homeland Security Council and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation as a client. Burt has tracked his entire experience working for both companies in class projects and has invented a mindfulness diary writing style. Both companies have attempted to harangue Burt who’ve come up short in the past.

“I wanted to write a quick e-mail to disavow you of a couple of misconceptions you may have after our conversation yesterday.  The interactive process to determine what accommodation can be offered is indeed a process and is not something that will be resolved right away.  For the process to begin, we will need the documentation Paige outlined to you,” Brian Cornell, director of human resources operations for Marcus Corp. explained after withholding the information from Burt when hired by Marcus Palace Cinema under his DVR contract. “We understand you will not be able to get this immediately but wanted to make clear what was necessary for you to provide.  Although you can certainly ask for help from Assistant Managers during your shifts, Human Resources will be the ones working with you on the subject of accommodations.”

Corporate citizens operating in the Dane County area are inept when hiring disabled veterans. The Op-Expose style Frank Productions claims met the “mentioning of firearms” mark Plant used to assert Burt’s ban, received an “A” as a college gonzo journalism experimental law review style but Plant was not going to entertain anything other than what he perceived as a threat. Plant does not take into consideration Burt is currently blending two styles of journalism from law review to Op-Ed writing and the Freedom Firearms video, which was the exhibit of discussion for firing Burt, represents an interactive law review style blending with the Title IX video Burt used for his independent study.

Plant does not take into consideration the context of the conversation and the events that led up to Burt messaging Bower. Burt followed up with a discussion about his trip to Las Vegas on Veterans Day where Burt plans to film a follow up story with Battlefield Las Vegas and was asking for Bower’s input. Plant also does not take into context Burt’s ERD complaint ongoing in appeal with Marcus Corp. who identified the same profile Plant asserts with Burt’s ban regarding safety concerns.

Frank Productions runs a turnstile operation like Marcus Corp. On Veterans Day, similar to a bus stop downtown where people come and go frequently. Burt asks all who read please consider how disabled veterans represent Title IX who are discounted by ruthless CEOs and human resources directors in the corporate citizen community. These two corporate citizens mistreat disabled veterans.

Burt is coming clean about being trolled by both companies in his patent and will continue reporting to Wisconsin Watch during the interim. If you would like to interview Burt, email leads111@proton.me.
