FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Saturday Nov. 9, 2024, 1:15 p.m. Madison, Wis.—The text exchange leading to my termination set boundaries with trolling. The company, through CEO Joel Plant, asserted a ban and now am filing a wrongful termination complaint, which resulted from “constructive dismissal.” The excerpt below is the denouement for the entire story from the moment I was hired until fired by Frank Productions who allows shift leads to make love on the clock and keep their job.
THE TERMINATION LOATHING: Banned after being terminated Nov. 5, 2024
“Stay on your side.” My initial response to Shift Lead Jadon Bower’s “wym” text. It was in this moment I stood up to his ongoing gas lighting, manipulation and psychological abuse who then went to Human Resources. No harassment was committed because Bower asked, “what do you mean?”
I showed him my screen shots and shared examples how I use screenshots for storytelling, which was hyperinflated by human resources during the meeting. Our job as press is to inform our subjects immediately when we begin profiling them and provided transparency regarding the story and the style with two examples from class projects. Through Wisconsin Watch, I build real-life gonzo stories from the 11th hour of abuse and intimidation by management to inform our veteran community of abusive employers in Dane County and across the globe.
Up until now, I have kept my security life separate from my brand until I needed my brand to protect me from HR targeting as a documentarian. The upcoming Op-Expose, which is my style, shares our entire conversation as a public complaint exhibit. I texted Bower to settle my debts and make peace with the future as coworkers.
“With management, you are not staff.” My voice to text response asserting boundaries stated. The company has a hard and fast smart phone policy making clear texting is a distraction and that those who abuse phone usage can be terminated. I spoke with a coworker regarding what I should do off duty about Bower’s role and his leadership responsibility after he intimidated me for talking to his ex-girlfriend.
“You are a supervisor,” my text stated. “That’s what your role is managing us as a team.” What I meant was he must act like an unbiased moral agent as our team representative and clean up his lewd behavior. Bower has a reputation for womanizing and was alleged by staff members during security meetings acting lewdly taking a quickie with a coworker on the clock, which should’ve banned him and didn’t, while other coworkers were fired for doing the exact same thing.
“You don’t want to end up like those other people,” Bower said to me in the elevator awhile after placing me in the position. “You are well on your way to being ‘like them’ in human resources.”
“Like them,” meaning people with disabilities. Management at Frank Productions treats people with disabilities with passive aggressive intimidation and abused me psychologically by placing me in an elevator with bright lights that manifested migraines for months on end, like predecessor Kashawnda Kelly, who was the primary elevator operator to avoid getting singled out. The director of DVR and Sen. Ron Johnson’s office were cc:d with emails for the company for reporting purposes sharing the company’s attempt to invade my privacy with medical records information, which led to me “self-reporting” my condition properly and Plant stepped in when his Human Resources Manager Haley Davis demanded I turn over the completed “interactive dialogue process” questionnaire that lawyers who facilitate workshops at DVR tell us not to fill out according to my counselor.
After the elevator incident at the Sylvee, the company was looking for every excuse to fire me after coming forward. I came forward after being trolled by former Majestic Manager Juanita Jackson who resigned effective Oct. 11. The company retained Lake Effect HR & Law to investigate my allegations.
I was not given an opportunity to discuss this. Plant was not going to allow for any comment. Plant, exerting his authority, asserted two employees corroborated a narrative that I was intimidating to a guest without revealing the source and was not allowed to defend claims made against me.
“I’m going to the press over how management handles the situation with Alex and Dave’s ableism with Juanita.” His brother Alex tried selling me “that’s just how Dave is.” Dave meaning Dave Fulbright who has a reputation for hating on disabled hires and tries to socially isolate them as punishment.
“I’m blowing the whistle most likely on Veterans Day at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Lounge like I do in this video.” The video mentioned was the “Freedom Firearms” video that is my first “Op-Expose” formatted style. I explained to Plant my firearm video was a part of my Outpost 422 independent study at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at the termination meeting who claimed it didn’t matter despite being graded with an “A” by my proctoring professor.
Firearms were mentioned and the company is asserting a ban despite the feature being about a trip with my child to Chicago and attending an ad. Yet, Bower’s reputation, the HR informant, was alleged being reported to human resources for his lewd conduct during the night shift at Breese Stevens Field and the company made him a shift lead. The incidents led to the company papering me and preying on the opportunity to fire me and did.
This is what Frank Productions views as acceptable. When calling out lewd and psychologically abusive behavior by shift leads, especially womanizing under Title IX raised concerns, you will be Plant’s target for exercising his whistleblower policy.
