RAISING DEFENSES
Priority One Credit Union's Human Resources Department aka Employee Services has spent the last week busily gathering documentation requested by the credit union's attorney's at Richardson Harmon Ober. The lawyers are currently working to fabricate defenses in the lawsuits filed by the last Burbank Branch Manager and a former Business Development Representative. President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. has again declared that the credit union's lawyers will "squash both lawsuits." We haven't seen the President this excited since he was accused and later, found guilty of having sexually harassed a former employee.
The lawsuits from the credit union's perspective are not intended to arrive at the truth but rather, avoiding anything that might expose the violations of federal and state law committed by the President and his executive staff.
BLITZKRIEG
According to the President who can't refrain divulging information about what the credit union's legal counsel is doing, the attorneys are carefully reviewing every document contained in each plaintiff's personnel file looking for whatever evidence they can find that will raise an impediment that will help the credit union escape ever having to respond to the allegations leveled against it.
The defendants in each lawsuit are President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr.; ruthless former COO, Beatrice Walker; and the Human Resources Department. As you may remember, a few weeks ago the credit union announced a reorganization and renaming of Human Resources which has been renamed Employee Services and is now headed by Director, Robert West and Manager, Esmeralda Sandoval. In reality, Rodger Smock remains the Director. Mr. West is nothing more than a figurehead and puppet who does not have the knowledge or experience to actually oversee the department. Miss Sandoval is a glorified clerk.
Mr. Smock continues to oversee all functions of the department and his alleged removal over Human Resources was purely superficial and intended to create the impression that the department has become more employee conscious and balanced. It's not. It's still the same department under management of the same aged Director.
Though the credit union has subjected many now former employees to slanderous campaigns that in time, viciously drove them out of the credit union, the two Plaintiffs are the only former employees to file lawsuits.
If the lawsuits go to trial, we don't understand how the credit union's attorneys can successfully hide the well documented history of abuses and violations of law perpetrated by the President and Board Chair and enabled by Rodger Smock and the Human Resources Department. But we don't believe either case will ever go to trial, not because of a lack of evidence but because the credit union doesn't want their dirty little secrets finding their way to public record.
THE LEGAL EDITION
This post should have been tilted, ''The Legal Edition." In this post, we will describe efforts currently being made by the credit union's expensive attorneys to fabricate defenses that ultimately diffuse the complaints filed by the last Burbank Branch Manager and a Business Development Representative against the credit union. The strategy the attorneys of Richardson Harmon Ober are attempting to implement will draw attention away from the credit union's illegal acts perpetrated against each former employee and instead, try and vilify and further victimize the plaintiffs. Its the type of tactics one should expect from bottom feeding attorneys who occupy the lowest and most seedy level of the legal profession.
The credit union's have threatened to file a motion seeking dismissal of former Burbank Branch Manager, Linda Nisely's lawsuit because her lawsuit doesn't possess merit and is thus, frivolous in nature. And though the President has publicly revealed that the attorneys will prove that Mrs. Nisely was laid-off because her position was being phased out due to economic constraints the credit union was under. However, the story the attorneys are trying use to use their defense ignores that fact that in 2010, then COO, Beatrice Walker, publicly disclosed that she was going to lay-off Mrs. Nisely and after six-months, hiring Mrs. Nisely's replacement. So did the credit union lay-off Mrs. Nisely because her position was unnecessary and because the credit union could no longer afford to pay her salary; or, was she fired as part of Beatrice Walker's unnecessary efforts to drive out people she didn't like?
Former COO, Beatrice Walker, recently provided testimony during a deposition conducted at the officers of Richards Harmon Ober. Though she did state that Mrs. Nisely's removal was motivated by a need to reduce expenses, Ms. Walker spent an inordinate amount of time, segueing from the questions to insert comments about the former Valencia Branch Manager who in 2010, accused Ms. Walker of harassment, same-sex sexual harassment, of retaliation and of creating a hostile working environment.

RETALIATION
During the past three months, several employees who were laid-off and who signed severance agreements, have consulted attorneys. In each case, they've asked if they can file lawsuits against the credit union.
We don't believe they can file lawsuits because the severance agreements they signed contain specific language which in essence states, that they are being issued a severance payment and agree not to seek legal recourse against the credit union. They of course can possibly file a lawsuit if they return the entire amount of severance pay issues to them under the agreement they signed.
They may have potential cases against the credit union if they possess evidence that after being terminated, the credit under disclosed confidential information about the terms of a settlement agreement or if they made public statements about the employees that disparaged them.
In one case, AVP, Lynette Fortson, informed AVP, Rodger Smock, that the former Teller Supervisor at the Los Angeles branch had criticized the credit union while visiting a United States Post Office. Former COO, Beatrice Walker, President Wiggington, and Rodger Smock, conferred and referred the matter to one of the credit union's many attorneys. The attorney wrote a letter to the former employee reminding the employee that if she persisted in criticizing the credit union publicly, she could be forced to return the severance payment issued to her.
We've read the letter and notice that the attorney omitted any evidence which could lend credence to everyone of the allegations made by the AVP, Lynnette Fortson, and later, the COO, the President and AVP, Rodger Smock. The letter omits the name of the employee(s) at the United States Postal Service who allegedly informed Ms. Fortson and there are no dates provided as to when the incident(s) occurred.
The credit union, in typical cavalier fashion, chose to lodge a complaint to their attorney which is nothing more than hearsay. It is a frivolous complaint lacking any credibility. The President of course, failed to consider that even he has limits to his authority and in the end, his complaint is relegated to the pile of other empty and unfounded complaints he's often leveling against his imagined and non-existent enemies.
REVERBERATIONS
If by chance, Priority One's attorneys lead the credit union to victory in the lawsuits filed by two former employees, it won't occur without taxing the credit union's financial resources. At this point of Priority One's game, their reputation as a corrupt and fallen credit union is sealed. What's more, their vast annual spending on attorneys has quadrupled since the days when the honorable, William E. Harris was President. On a bright cheery note, the Board of Directors seems unconcerned by the massive increase being spent on attorneys.
- A technically flawed $600,000 phone system
- A more than $70,000 call center that is failing to resolve member service issues
- More than $30,000 spent on Lillestrand and Associates who provided valuable information to improve business but which the President rejected.
On a side note. The President's new training room doesn't have air vents. During closed door meetings, the temperature in the small room becomes unbearable as does the lack of oxygen.
Ms. Walker also ordered expensive cubicles that were installed in the call center and Credit Resolutions department. She orchestrated the hiring of her friend, Saeid Raad who was paid more than $140,000 per year to serve as CFO and she also hired Randy McBride to serve as manager of the IT department.
The credit union's extravagant spending is inexplicable in light that it is continues to experience ongoing losses and lagging business.
Hoping for a Dismissal
The President recently boasted that Priority One's attorneys are going to obtain a dismissal of the lawsuit filed by former Burbank Branch Manager, Linda Nisely. Unless the President is the judge presiding over the case, it is highly unlikely that he knows whether or not Mrs. Nisely's case will or will not be dismissed. He should stick to what he does best though we don't know what that is.
According to the President, the credit union's attorneys at Richardson Harmon Ober have assured him Mrs. Nisely's lawsuit is frivolous and unsubstantiated by any evidence that she was ever subjected to age or racial discrimination. The President is just as ignorant about judicial processes as he is about running a credit union. The court not the attorneys determine whether or not a case possesses merit and whether it will proceed to court. If anything can be said about the President it's that his fantasies provide him with a the type of psychological cushion needed to weather the stark legal realities that accompany any lawsuit.
SCORNED
When nefarious former COO, Beatrice Walker, was terminated this past July, we never thought we'd ever have to write about her again. We were wrong.
A few weeks ago, Ms. Walker was summoned (by subpoena versus séance) to attend a deposition to answer questions in the lawsuit filed by former Burbank Branch Manager, Linda Nisely.
Though Ms. Walker was scheduled to only answer questions pertaining to the termination of Ms. Nisely, she was unable to control her emotions and kept segueing to the subject of the former Valencia Branch Manager who she allegedly harassed and stalked. Her inability to stick to the subject at hand didn't go unnoticed by either the attorneys representing the Defendant or Plaintiff. Her behavior would provide wonderful fodder to students of psychology. During her brief employment at the credit union, Ms. Walker proved incapable of controlling her emotions which heavily damaged employee morale.
On Friday, October 21st, an apparently confused and slightly disheveled President, parked his automobile in the lot at Providence St. Joseph in Burbank, California, and then spent the next several minutes confusedly limping about the property in search of the hospital's benefits fair. As he moved confusedly about in search of the credit union's booth, he struggled to hold tightly to a box which was apparently to heavy for him to carry.
After finally locating the booth, he sat down, apparently exhausted, sat down and remained sitting for the remainder of the day. He couldn't possibly be suffering from work exhaustion? Employees at the main branch have said he is suffering from the effects of medical treatment of his "ball cancer", a too stringent diet, and medications. But don't let his conduct at the benefits fair fool you.
The President recently garnered sufficient energy to implement yet another stringent directive. According to the President, "employees are going to have to prove to me that they deserve a raise.": How odd. The President has yet to prove that he's worth the more than $150,000 he's being paid annually to what apparently is to ruin the credit union. Apparently he's not so ill that he can't continue introducing directives which further rob employees of both pay and benefits.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, that the new stricter criteria introduced by President Wiggington was actually developed with the assistance of Director of Employee Services, Robert West, and Manager, Esmeralda Sandoval. And though Rodger Smock allegedly vacated his role as Director of Human Resources on July 28, 2011, he was also pivotal in hammering out the new requirement. As we've often reported, Mr. Smock remains the Director of the department despite the hoax perpetrated by the President to create the impression that Mr. Smock vacated his role earlier this year.
NO EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
In 2007, a now former business development representative who had amassed an impressive documented record sales, wrote to AVP, Rodger Smock, regarding staff development. The employee's inquiry was never responded to. What's more, President Wiggington became incensed by what he apparently viewed as insolence and said, "She's Jewish. Those people don't like Blacks."
Prior to submitting her letter, the business development representative had become the victim in a vicious campaign leveled against her by the President with the assistance of AVP's, Liz Campos and Sylvia Perez. Here is the letter submitted to Mr. Smock:
March 6, 2007
Rodger Smock VP
Human Resources
Priority One Credit Union
1631 Huntington Dr South Pasadena, CA 91030
A meeting was held January 4, 2007 addressing changes that are taking effect as of January 1, 2007. Roger presented us with a re-organization chart, which he explained. Roger also mentioned that there will be plenty of opportunities to grow and advance, in addition to enhancements of the training program. Reviewing the organization chart on the back, I noticed that there were TWO branch manager positions open, Van Nuys and Burbank. After the meeting I inquired with Roger and asked the steps that were necessary for me to apply for these positions. The following day completed the transfer request form along with a letter stating why I was qualified for the position. Approximately a week, Liz suggested that when she and I both had time she would like to interview me. I also received a call from Sylvia and she also wanted to set up an interview. Both interviews had taken place and I felt very confident that it went very well.
A few days later Liz asked that I come to her office. She informed me that I interviewed very well, had a lot of knowledge, however I did not have the lending experience need for the position. Liz suggested if classes are being offered or if I had the opportunity to gain more knowledge to do so. Liz also suggested sitting with Linda maybe one day out of the week to learn what I can.
Sylvia however did not comment about anything, as a matter of fact I went to her and asked if the position had been filed. Sylvia responded “I’m glad you asked we just got a flier announcing the new hire. I thank her again for the opportunity to interview.
On Thursday, March 1, 2007 I noticed on XP that Priority One Credit Union is offering an in house training class on consumer lending which will start March 14, 2007 for four session and the classes are from 9am -12pm. Since I had been told that in order for me to advance, within the company I need to grasp a better understanding of loans. Here is a great opportunity for me to do just that. I presented all the information on the class and asked Sylvia if I could attend it. She responded “Let me think about it.
Monday, March 5, 2007 I was out in the field and realized that I hadn’t heard from Sylvia on the class. I called and left a message. Approximately 4:45 pm I received a call back and Sylvia informed me that at this time I was not able to attend her Exact words “I’m going to put it off at this time, I need you to work your numbers first and I’m going to pull everyone’s review to see your numbers from last year.” She said her understanding of the classes is for employees, who already process, are booking or approving, loans which is not what I read.
If we are employees of Priority One and are asking for a class or classes which will help us in our current position or wanting to advance such as in my situation, being told no, how are we to gain more knowledge. Isn’t reaching our goals predicated on gaining knowledge?
C. Freed
A few weeks after submitting her letter, the President with the assistance of AVP, Sylvia Perez, and Rodger Smock, created a record of fraudulent evidence and terminated C. Freed.
Bullying and Mockery
The credit union's Credit Resolutions Department has become the subject of increasing member complaints alleging that the staff of the department are rude, disrespectful, sarcastic, and threatening. For the record, this was not the case before Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. chose to create an in-house collections department which he placed under authority of Director, Yvonne Boutte. Ms. Boutte, by the way, is the former confidant of Beatrice Walker, the infamous COO who was terminated this past July.
The department's reputation has quickly spread amongst employees of the United States Postal Service. We've spoken to some employees of the postal service who have been referred to collections, told us they have not filed complaints because they feel powerless.
Some irate members have demanded to speak to Ms. Boutte but have quickly been subjected to even more abusive treatment by the Director who laugh at them, disparages their inability to pay their loans and reminds them their loans are delinquent. When speaking to members who are not intimidated by her repugnant behaviors, she complains, “Don’t they know who they’re talking to?” Our guess is they’re speaking to an egomaniac who has no comprehension of the importance of members and who is incapable of empathy.
Here is an except we obtained from Privacy Rights Clearinghouse* web site and which will assist members who believe they’ve been subject to abusive tactics intended to force payment of a debt.
First, we all responsible for any debts we incur. Under federal law, a debt collector has certain responsibilities to investigate a situation and may be liable for failure to cooperate. As a consumer, you should become acquainted with your rights which will help you recognize and respond to abusive collection practices. “Even if you owe a debt, a collection owes you fair treatment and and respect for your privacy.” Be aware that a collector’s conduct does not consistently abide to the language contained in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, that the collector may still be liable for their conduct.
- You can advise a collector that you do not wish to be contacted by telephone and wish all communication to be in writing. You will have to enter your request in writing and mail it to the collector via Certified mail. This will provide you with evidence they received your request.
- You may also inform the collector they are only allowed to call you. At Priority One, when a member obtains a loan, the credit union requires the names of two references. The purpose for these is strictly for collection efforts. When a loan becomes delinquent and the credit union is unable to reach the member, they then call the persons whose names were provided as references.
- Keep a file of all correspondence received and a log of all calls requesting payment. Document your conversations and make sure you obtain the first and last name of the representative with whom you spoke. Include the date and time of a call and keep all recorded messages which are abusive or intrusive in nature.
- If you disagree with anything you are told by a collections agent, write a letter and mail it by Certified Mail and Return Receipt Requested.
- If you agree to enter into a repayment plan, ask the representative to mail you the terms of the agreement in writing.
- If you don’t believe you owe the debt, don’t pay it until you’ve obtained verification that it is your debt. Submitting a payment for a debt you don’t owe or believe you don’t owe, can be viewed that you accept responsibility for the debt.
- Request the collector provide an itemized statement proving balances, interest charges, and any other fees levied against you.
- A collector is not allowed to make idle threats whether expressed or implied, i.e., “We must get your payment no later than the day after tomorrow.” They are prohibited from using abusive or profane language or discussing your account with third parties.
· If you have a complaint, contact the Better Business Bureau, www.bbb.org. You may also have legal recourse by filing a lawsuit in state or federal court within one year of the violation.
· The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) sets the national standard for collection agencies. The FDCPA, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), prohibits abusive collection tactics that harass you or invade your privacy. (15 USC §§1692-1695) The full text of the FDCPA is found at:
A debt collector cannot Call you before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m. unless you agree. They cannot call you repeatedly or use the phone to harass you or tick you into accepting collect calls or paying for telegrams. They cannot use obscene language, make negative comments about your character, or make religious or ethnic slurs or call you at work if the collector has been informed that you are not allowed to accept personal calls while at work.
A collection agency can file a lawsuit to collect a debt. However, among the many things a collector is not allowed to do is threaten you with a lawsuit just to get you to pay the debt. Examples of some threats and deceptive practices prohibited under law, include:
- Threats that they will garnish your wages or sell your property if it is not legal to do that.
- A threat they will sue you if the collector doesn't intend to sue.
- If they are not truthful about the amount of money you actually owe or may not owe.
- Statements that you will be arrested if you don’t pay the debt.
- Threats of violence.

On Thursday, October 13th, President Wiggington accompanied by Senior Vice President, Rodger Smock, and CFO, Saeid Raad, drove to Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park to attend the Los Angeles Chapter meeting. This was the first time the President or the Senior Vice President attended the monthly meeting in more than two years.
The reason why the credit union stopped sending representatives to the monthly meetings is that the credit union cold no longer afford to pay the $25.00 per person charge. Yes, this is the same credit union whose President spent $600,000 on a failed phone system.
In 2010 the President described the purpose of the chapter meetings as unproductive (versus his daily 2.5 to 3 hour lunches). The always obtuse AVP, Rodger Smock, also chimed in last year, blurting inanely that the only reason employees attend the monthly chapter meetings is because they're "free" (to the employee) and they get to eat a "free meal." Yes, it's offensive, but it is after said by a corrupt Director who has for years, allowed the victimization of employees. Based on Mr. Smock's statement, we have to conclude one reason the President chose to attend last month's chapter meeting is to get a free meal. The other reason that he divulged is that the Board has ordered he make more public appearances to dispel the impression that he's hiding. But he is hiding.
During October's meeting, Mr. Smock filled and later, refilled the President's glass of water and ran about bringing him food to eat. It looked less like kindness than it seemed disturbing.
Don't expect the President to continue attending future meetings. His appearance was purely for show and as usual, to create an impression.
Everything about President Wiggington's mode of administration is to create superficial vacuous impressions. He has proven devoid of any talent needed to achieve real tangible results. His gift is to raise facades. It's smoke and mirrors, trickery but deception which is rent to pieces by the credit union's own Monthly Income Statements and quarterly Financial Performance Reports.
Recently, he again launched yet another of his tired campaigns declaring that the credit union was re-experiencing growth as attested to by it's increasing capital. Higher net capital is not synonymous with growth in business and no one knows better than does the sly but unclever President.
This is a President who spent 2009 hiding monthly financial reports until he was forced by complaints filed with the DFI, to post these. He is the same President who hired Beatrice Walker to serve as his own personal hitman but she turned against him and tried to displace him so that she could be appointed President.
His declarations of success are contradicted by the closures of the Redlands and Valencia branches and more recently, the Riverside office. The fact is, Priority One is nowadays a smaller, less competitive and unpopular credit union thanks to the abuses of Charles R. Wiggington, Sr.
What's more, his vast spending on consultants to try and resurrect the credit union's formerly pristine public standing, have all failed and further exhausted the credit union's coffers. And why has legal spending more than quadrupled since January 2007?
But the President's abuses could never have been realized were it not for the protection allotted him by Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, and her inept and bungling Directors. He certainly could not have used fabricated evidence to seal the termination of numerous employees were it not for AVP, Rodger Smock, and with the assistance of Employee Services, Esmeralda Sandoval, and it's Director, Robert West.
And now, the credit union has obtained the services of Richardson. Harmon and Ober who are paid to create a defense that will try and vilify the President's victims and try to deter attention away from the violations of state and federal law perpetrated by the credit union.
In the end, Charles R. Wiggington should never be believed. His lack of integrity, his dishonesty and his proclivity to lie overshadow any efforts made to improve business.
A NEW BRANCH
As we reported recently, President Wiggington is currently planning the opening of a new branch in Santa Clarita which will replace the Valencia branch which was ordered closed by then COO, Beatrice Walker. Though we've recently learned that the branch was slated to open this past June and then rescheduled to open in July, the branch is now slated to open at the start of the new year.
The last few weeks, AVP, Sylvia Perez, has visited the site of the new location, allegedly helping to prepare for its upcoming opening.... whenever that may be.
Construction of the location is being handled entirely by the U.S. Postal Service. The President has recently boasted that the credit union will only pay $1 per year to lease the space. The amount of $1 was not the result of clever negotiation on the part of the president but rather an act of kindness shown to the credit union by the Postal Manager in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The facility is located a few miles outside of downtown Valencia which makes it inconvenient unless one lives near the 126 freeway or works somewhere in the vicinity of the Santa Clarita mail processing center.
The President has also revealed that the office will only open on a part-time basis while the credit union gauges interest in the location. He has also said he does not intend to advertise the location because in his words, "People are going to want to become our members."
In 2010, President Wiggington described the members in Santa Clarita as "disloyal" to the credit union because they never sought to obtain services and products from the credit union. When the Valencia branch closed at the end of October 2010, he said, "I don't care. The members in Santa Clarita don't do anything for us."
If the President chooses to open the location at the far edges of the Santa Clarita Valley and if he does not intend to advertise then you can expect this latest enterprise to fail. Logically, there are a lot of factors which suggest future failure but we'll have to wait and see.
PLAGIARIZING
In 2007, Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. said he wanted all traces of his predecessor erased from the credit union. One of his first acts was to bring an immediate cessation to the credit union's seasonal loans which had proven a reliable source of income for many years. The emotionally undisciplined President didn't care.
The newly hired CLO, Cindy Garvin has announced that credit union will again start offering the Holiday Loan, a product created under former President William E. Harris. The other loans she is planning to resurrect are:
- The Computer Loan
- The Back to School Loan
- The Tax Loan
Ms. Garvin is scheduled to speak during December's all-staff meeting and will describe planned changes she will introduce that will generate new business. Re-introduction of a Holiday Loan is actually a good idea but it should have been offered last month if it is going to have a chance of succeeding. Of course President Wiggington has cronies have no concept of the importance of timing and proper planning.
Both the President and Director of Project Management, Yvonne Boutte, have already applauded Ms. Garvin's plan to resurrect the Holiday loan, declaring that this is exactly what the credit union needs. We certainly don't want to be presumptuous and will wait to see.
Both the President and Director of Project Management, Yvonne Boutte, have already applauded Ms. Garvin's plan to resurrect the Holiday loan, declaring that this is exactly what the credit union needs. We certainly don't want to be presumptuous and will wait to see.
The Real Estate Department
Ms. Garvin has also obtained permission to refer all first mortgage loans to CU Partners
who will pay the credit union a fee or loans that are approved for funding. The credit union will also limit real estate loan funding to HELOC's. According to the President, this will help0 the credit union reduce spending which actually serves as an indicator that the credit union is not performing well.
Fleeing the Coop
The highly competent Manager of the Real Estate Loan Department, Yuling Li, resigned. in October with her final day of employment being October 28, 2011. though her stay at the credit union was brief, she proved to be a highly knowledgeable office and ethically, she is the antithesis of President Wiggington.
Though the President tried to force Ms. Li into violating state laws governing real estate funding she refused and as a result, found herself to be the brunt of one his abusive campaigns intended to humiliate and subjugate her.
In late 2009, the President ordered morally and ethically pliable AVP, Patti Loiacano, to issue a written warning to Ms. Lee alleging she was insubordinate. The reason the President didn't issue the complaint himself is due to cowardice.
Ms. Li proved to be too competent, too professional and to ethical for Priority One Credit Union. We wish her the best.
He’s Back
As we reported in our last post, recently, former COO, Beatrice Walker's once most trusted confidant, Joseph Garcia, abruptly left the credit union on a medical leave of absence. His alleged medical issue was concocted with the help of the former Valencia Branch Manager who is also the same officer who accused former COO, Beatrice Walker, of harassment, same-sex sexual harassment and stalking.
Mr. Garcia quietly returned to work in October. Unlike the days when he strolled through the South Pasadena branch in company of Ms. Walker, he seems quieter. This could simply be due to the fact he no longer possesses the clout he enjoyed under Ms. Walker.
His reason for leaving was that he feared his former patron, Ms. Walker was preparing to terminate him. From January to March 2010, Ms. Walker imbued him with the titles of Call Center Supervisor, Real Estate Department and Consumer Department Loan Manager, and Credit Manager, he failed at everyone of his positions.
Not only did he fail, but by December 2010, he and Ms. Walker were no longer talking. And though she had been generous to Mr. Garcia, he along with Director of Project Development, Yvonne Boutte, both openly disparaged and mocked Ms. Walker.
By January 2011, he had been stripped of all his titles except that of Consumer Loan Department Manager.
Since his return, his titles and authority have again been tweaked and he is not the Assistant Consumer Loan Manager.
The Fall 2011 Newsletter
The President has once again changed his opinion of members who are also employees of the U.S. Postal Service. In January 2007, he ordered that all AVP's, Branch Managers, and the business development team immediately cease efforts to develop new business amongst employees of the postal service. Instead, he ordered increased focus placed on obtaining new business from Select Employer Groups even though, Select Employer Groups have never been a great source of revenue for the credit union. His plan failed miserably.
In the credit union's Fall Newsletter, shown below, the President expresses his appreciation of members employed by the U.S. postal service but is his effort rebuild relations that he ended, come a little too late?

His address may have been impressive had he never tried to end the relationship once enjoyed with employees of the U.S. postal service. We don't personally believe that the credit union will ever restore its relationship with members employed by the postal service, at least not to the level it enjoyed for more than 74 years. We also note that in his address, he conveniently avoids alluding to the loss of more than $24 million in assets since he became President on January 1, 2007.
The credit union is juggling too many events at one time. He has spent the last few weeks implementing more stringent rules designed to deny employees from obtaining salary increases. His directives are being implemented as a way to reduce spending and justify denying employees increases in pay.
Despite his blunders, the President has found his incompetence and abuses enabled under the protection of the Board of Directors and its incompetent Director, Diedra Harris-Brooks. The failures caused by the President have now resulted in the filing of two lawsuits by former employees which accuse the credit union of violating federal law.
So will the lawsuits proceed to court or will they be dismissed? According to the President, the credit union's expensive attorneys have assured him the cases will never go to trial. Then again, in 2007, the President assured employees no one would ever be terminated while he served as President.

Thanks John, as always you hit the nail right on the head.
DAMN! Wigg looks bad.
Serves wigglenuts right, for years he dished out a alot of sh*t and now it looks like he's been eating what he's always dished.
Wigg has been bragging but closing the 3 branches didn’t just keep the company from paying rent they also no longer have to pay utilities, staff that worked at those offices, insurance, janitorial service, supplies and so on. You can deduct Bea’s monthly salary which is over $9000 a month. Since she hasn’t been there since mid-July that’s over $57,000 not including December. And you’re right, Wigg says everything is great but Smock says they can’t afford raises and Yvonee says they needs something that’s going to bring in business because they’re not doing good. So do you believe Wigg, who is known to be a big liar or do you believe everyone else who says business is down?
Wigg wil always be the biggest liar. If dtheyre doing so great then throw out some raises. He is the total jackass.
They r not doing good that's why they r combining a traing day with another cheap Christmas party at leasta management is getting bonuses.
Wigg is about as concerned with new business as he is with morale. He got rid of a great marketng director because he had it in for her. Every marketing scheme famils because old, sick homeboy doesn't under stand marketing. Its way above his head. Same with morale, he doesn't care who quits or how many good employees get fired, because the important thing is he has a job that pays him $170,000 + something he never would have been paid by any other cu or bank. Why do you think he left the banking industry? He was horrible there and he knew he couldn't cut it. Same goes for Rodger Smock and robert West, its all about job security. Ali quit because they supposedly couldn't afford to give him a raise but I head that bec ause Wigg got capital up, the board is going to give him a bonus. Amazing. Problem is he hasnt got business up though he's got new account openings way down. Everything he touches turns to crap.
What we need is raises not some stupid party or a $25 gift certificate to Ralph's. The cost of living keeps going up but no increases at old P1. If you think about it, its not the cost of living thats going up its the salaries P1 pays that are going down. And yes, Wigg will probably get a bonus because capital is way up but the stupid ignorant board doesn't look atg the fact that business is down and complaints are way high.
Have you guys notice how when credit reslutions talks horrible about members after they speak to them? They treat and talk to members like they're dogs.
A ghetto mess.
Did Kim ever sue the company? I heard she filed a complaint with the government but does anybody know what happened or if she got a lawyer? She was treated so horribly by Charles and Smock she should have gotten a settlement.

Which Kim? Kim H. or Kim B. both were treated bad.
You're right. Kim B. Kim H. should have sued after working for that a-hole. I think he was jealous of Kim H because she was liked and let's face it, he's not.
He tried to settle with Kim B but I think she turned down the offers. Kim H should have sued. He was the boss from hell, always riding her, criticizing her and talking about her behind her back. I remember listening to him bad mouth her at an event. Kim H was a class act working for lowlife ghetto trash and later, having to work with Bea which is trailer trash. Throw Rodger in to because the man tries to act like he's real smart and he used to act like he was everybody's friend but he turned out to be a the devil except fat and old.
Wow, Wigg looks horrible. Someone feed him some oats.
The bottom line is, Wigg could make up as many stories as he likes about Priority One's success or that the Board has named him Queen of the Credit Union industry, the fact is they can't afford to give raises or spend money like they used to, promoting their name. The lawsuits impact the credit union in so many ways including its ability to make money. Anything they make is going to be under cut by what they have to pay their lawyers plus any settlment they have to pay. This is not a credit union thats doing well or is going to be doing well anytime soon. Anyway, the cuases ot all their problems still work at the main office.
Today is our Xmas/holiday party but first Wigg wants to have a business meeting. He really knows how to give employees a good time.
Well we had the party in the South Pasadena office and we got bonus' (minus taxes). Thats great since we haven't been getting raises and benefits are horrible but Wigg said P1 could afford the bonus because the credit union is doing so good. How can it be doing good if we have less branches, don't give raises, are losing lots of members, loans are down, and they hire mostly part timers? I heard he gave us bonus' to try and make it look like we are doing good and that they used the money they saved from not paying rent on Riverside, Redlands and Santa Clarita. Plus they don't have to pay Bea a fat salary anymore.
Great party. A gossip fest but really no body listened to Wigg while he talked about how great he says we're doing. Everyone was interested in talking, eating, and getting their bonus. No one cares or believes what he has to say.
Here we go again. Wigg is doing some of the same things he did when Bea was here. He and Rodger have changed Cindy's title. She just got hired in August and now Yvonne reports to her. That must bug Yvonne because she was hoping Wigg would give her Bea's old position. Obviously, his little speech today that everything is good isn't true otherwise why would he put Yvonne, who says everythings good in collections, under Cindy unless everything is not so good in collections.
It wasn't a gift from P1. The employees got taxed and P1 will use the "bonuses" or gifts or whatever they want to call it as a tax write-off. Plus Wiggs been told by attorneys, consultants and the board to act like everything is ok and to make sure people believe that P1 is doing well. Its all part of public relations.
WHAT SOME BULLSHIT...ROTFLMAO!!!! CHEAP ASS HOLIDAY PARTY WOW IM SO GLAD I DONT WORK THERE ANYMORE!!!...ALL YOU GUYS WORK FOR A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!...YOU ALL NEED TO GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND FIND BETTER JOBS!!

AND ONE BIG ASS GIANTIC FUCK YOU TO THE USELESS ASS BOARD!!!!
I'm not sure why people stay P1. It can't be because anyone in management is pretty. It sure isn't because Wigg is even a little smart. Can't be for their honesty or kindness. If you like a job with no raises, no incentives, no employee development and where management makes out like bandits- literally, then P1 is the place to work.

SO SO TRUE. And Smuck was correct.
We needed the bonus they gave us because Smock and Wigg have been saying for over 3 years now that they can't give us raises. That doesn't explain why Wigg and Smock get raises or why some employees who are liked by the company get raises which seems like discrimination. I may appreciate the small bonus but I don't appreciate Wigg or management or the board and the small bonus instead of a raise doesn't change most people minds that Wigg, Smock and the board have failed us and don't know what they do.
So Im going to assume that you all have graduated from the $25.00 gift certificate from Ralph"s?...lol...you know you all got bonuses because BEA is no longer on the payroll.
HEY UH NANCY GRACE... YOU FORGOT TO FUCK OFF ESMERALDA "FATASS CHOLA" SANDOVAL...LETS NOT FORGET THAT BITCH!!!...HAHAHA!!
You're right Pudding Face isn't in charge of deciding IF employees get bonus' and Wigg is trying his darndest to make everything look peachy keen. Too late Wigg, the place has gone downhill like your appearance. It was sickening to hear him talk about how much Rodger cares about him and is always there for him. Of course Rodgers always there because you would fire his old fat ass if he didn't kiss your butt 24/7. Rodger even takes time to go and visit Wigg at his old ugly Echo Park home to talk to Wigg's wife. I think Wigg should leave his wife and marry Missy Rodger.
And whats this crap with titles. Cindy got hired as Director of Lending and less than 4 months later she's now the Chief Lending Officer or CLO. CLO also stands for Cod Liver Oil.
I wouldn't F any of them. Yikes and yuck.
You didn't mention how Wigg said that Smock takes care of everyone and he's always there when you need him. If he meant "takes care of everyone" as in do them in and screw them over, he's right. No one knows how to place a dagger in any body's back like does the Old Queen. And yes, I'm sure people who have been harassed, abused, lied about by Wigg, Bea, Smock and even Diedra, will all say Smock is there when you need him. Ask any Latino boy. Wigg is is stupid he forget everyone knows that he and Missy are the worst and biggiest backstabbers and liars at P1. Try again Wigg but this time how about telling the truth Mr Sexual Harrasser.
Rodger is co-dependent. He tries to act like he's everybody's mother because it satisfies his own sick psychological needs. Reality is, he helped Wigg make a lot of people lose their jobs and he got a lot of people written up based on Wigg, Sylvia, Lynnette's, Bea's etc's lies. Rodger says he's a peacemaker but he is a trouble maker. He should have been written up and fired for not investigating complaints or stopping Wigg's sexual harassment. He should have been fired for that little thing he had going with Henry. And he should have been fired for getting employees drunk at his pool party and then letting them drive home drunk. He knew that Anna had a drinking problem and he still filled her glasses. Months later she got snookered had that horrible car accident and lost her arm. Lucky for him, she wasn't coming from one of his parties. And Wigg should have been fired for the losses, the backstabbing, the sexual harassment, taking that members car, and slander.

December 8, 2011 10:55 AM
Yes, but employees didn't have to pay taxes on the $25 Ralphs card. LOL. Oh that Bea, I wonder whose life she's ruining now days?
You can look at their website and see there not one thing they do to promote what they offer. You see a link to their car loans, share branching and you see the postal calendars that really are designed for postal works so that they know when they can schedule vacations. Its pathetic because after 20 years, Charles doesn't know shit about marketing though he is an expert at doing nothing and accomplishing nothing. He has to keep Smock because Smock is a dog. If you're in the office you seen how Smock mothers him. Smock forgets he's not a real woman. Charles needs him because Smock drives him places, gets him what he needs, goes to lunch with him and is there at his beck and call. I don't think Charles's latest addition- Cindy is going to make much difference. She is the second person he picked (the first was Bea) who could supposedly make things better. I hope he's not planning on spending all their capital because he's supposed to be using that to fund loans plus he'll need some to pay those really expensive lawyers that need to help him cover up his f*ck ups.
The lies ain't flying like everything else he says. He must be the most pathetic president in the industry. This is what happens when your immature, have a dirty mouth, are a liar, abusive and a backstabber. God don't like ugly.
I wouldn't believe Wigg if he told me he was Black or Smock if he told me he was fat. These two guys are huge liars. Yes, Smock has probably been the best dog Wigg's ever owned but he's the worst HR manager ever. And what does he do besides backstab people and cut coupons? He's useless and shoudl be sent to the glu factory. And big surprise that Bea showed everyone that she had a crush on the Valencia manager. Who can blame her, the manager is her direct opposite- beautiful, charming, a smart dresser, kind while Bea should be living under some bridge.
Bea should be living under some bridge? She does, doesn't she?
Here we go again Bea Walker...what else did that manager had besides being best dreser and charming that drove Mrs. Walker nuts? It was crazy!!
Bea was just a little to fixated on her. It was noticed by everyone in South Pasadena and what was so weird is how in 2 weeks she went from always talking to the manager, inviting her to lunch, and inviting her to stay at the main office, to bad mouthing her throughout the whole credit union. So strange but so Bea Walker.
And I notice Wigg is trying to get in with the postal workeers. He had 4 years to that and didn't want them for a long time because he wanted SEGs that have NEVER made money for the CU. What a way to make choices! Now that the post office is having financial problems, laying off employees, and implementing major cut-backs, the light goes on in Wiggy's empty head, and he says to himself "lets show the postal workers we need them because without them we are so screwed." Really, 4 years to finally realize you need them? But is it a little too late? If you notice the reports, a lot of postal workers have closed their accounts. Deposits from the USPS are dropping too. Still, old useless not too healthy Wigg is still not creating anything to try and keep USPS employee accounts. Just because they leave the post office doesn't mean they have to close their P1 accounts. He is in the end the worst president for any credit union and if you believe anything he has to say, then maybe you deserve to be fooled.
No one believes Wigg or hardly anyone trust Smock. It was another BS session to try and tell us how good the worst HR director is.
Wigg was saying that the CU is trying to prove that one of the people suing violated policy when exposed personal things about some member accounts and loans. You can't get surprised anymore when you think that Wigg is trying to get proof someone violated policy when he used to sit in the loan department and talk about the employees he was going to fire and why. That was confidential info wasn't it? He and others like Yvonne and Bea have talked about why some employees got fired and the rules some employees supposedly broke. Its all hypocritical but this is the best a liar like Wigg can do and throw in Smock and West.
January 1st if 5 years Wiggs been president. Thats shocking. No one can figure out how the worst president kept his job and didn't get fired. He must have something good on old buck-tooth Diedra.

No surprise but Priority is having sexual harassment classes today but just for the managers. Is that because in the history of the credit union only managers have sexually harassed employees?
Wigg didn't attend. Anyway, I don't think he can sexually harass anymore based on how he looks.
Does anybody know the name of the woman who was teaching the class? Wigg and Smock weren't in the sexual harassment class but they are the two that should have been there. Smock and that little relationship he had with Henry could have put the credit union in a lot of trouble. Same for the way Wigg talked to Kim. Lots of employees heard him sexually harass her so its not something that needs a lot of proof. Are the managers who attended supposed to teach their staffs? Could you see any of them teaching anyone about sexual harassment?
If things are so great, why is Cinday begging for loans? Because we're not getting the business. She's already got a nickname. The Get Us Loans lady. Stupid, dumbass, good for nothing, not worth a red penny Sylvia keeps saying we got new membership applications but Little Miss Not So Well Put Together doesn't get it that new memberships mean nothing if members aren't getting products. Guess old Wigg is lying again. No, Wigg, high capital doesn't mean good business. Your supposed to be funding loans and that's business and the more you get the better the businss. Wigg needs a class in CU 101. As for Cindy, I see Bea all over again (except without the stalking).
Syvia is an idiot but so is Wigg. We are doing horrible with loans but liar thought it was jsut fine to pull another fast one and tell employees that we have lots of capital. Yes, we have lots of capital and few loans. You need capital to fund loans but requirements are stricter so a lot of members don't qualify for loans OR because of the economy, lots of members aren't applying for loans. Yes, high capital is good as long as you're also making the business which we're not thanks to Mr. Liar.

Wigg is an idiot. He thinks because he says the credit union is doing good, they are. Then he should explain why Cindy is begging staff to go get loans and why she adds "we need loans!!!" She's right, we do need loans. Wigg is a lying sack of dog poop who thinks that after 5 years of his shit, people are going to believe anything he has to say. We have lots a capital because we have less full time people and overpaid Bea is gone plus we're down branches. That's savings which means less spending. What we don't have is new business. In fact he told the managers that they need to stop getting new members and start getting loans. Is that because business is great? Hell no, its because business is bad. He knows he used the economy as an excuse and then he said the company had to many employees it didn't really need. Later he blamed Bea and said she was not getting the business and hurting the business. What's going to happen when business continues to go down and there's no where to cut. Who's he going to blame next? Memberships was declining but then they started getting new accounts most which only put in the $5.00 savings deposit and don't use the free checking account. The credit union has to pay % on the $5.00 and they sure don't make squat on the free checking, so they need loans- car, personal, etc, but that's where they're not cutting it. If you hear Wigg saying things are good, ignore it because he's a liar and its bull shit. The man looks like crap, he's lost weight, his leg drags, his arm shakes and he's always complaining but the one thing that hasn't changed is that he lies, lies, lies.
Thats weird how he's sick and looks sick, but his mouth keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny tho not as cute and not as smart.
If the credit union is doing good I mean great, then ALL employees should have no trouble getting raises before the end of 2011. The company will also be able to afford hiring full-time employees and they will be able to give everyone benefit packages. They also won't have to introduce anymore cut-backs. If they can do all this, right now before the end of 2011, then Wigg is absolutely right, P1 is doing nothing less than great. If they can't do ALL of these things then Wigg is a liear and the company is continuing to go downhill. Like Mr Cosby says, "the proof is in the pudding."
I don't care what Wigg or old man Smock have to say. For more than a year, employees complained about Bea Walker but Wigg and Diedra kept her and fired anyone who complained about her. It took 2 years of failure after failure before they fired that witch. Now, its been 5 years of failure after failure, but the BLACK board keeps BLACK Wigg. See the connection? Look at Smock, he got the boot from Superior and then he came to Priority where he has ruined HR. He's a compromiser and backstabber and lazy. Yet he's still employed and like Wigg getting a check he don't earn. Its just the same ol' at a credit union that IS NOT doing well and where loans are way up but capital is way high. Wigg can keep lying because he's the only one falling for his own crap.
Mr. Wiggington is not doing well. Leave the man alone, he is already paying for what he has done to people (employees). One of this day he is going to die and how are you going to feel about it? C'mon, I do understand your anger trust me but I think enough is enough. Have a Happy Merry Christmas to all of you and Happy New Year. Hopefully, he will not be there in 2012. God Bless Everyone.
Yes, his day has already come. Do you think its a coincidence he's sick? Everything he's done is on him, literally and yes, even he should be forgiven. But he hurt a lot of people and even the Bible says you can be angry. Let's face it, the blog exposes things he's done but the blog did not cause him the horrible hardships and stress he caused employees. When people say "terrible" things about him its so much less than the terrible things he did that caused people to lose their jobs, added to their financial problems, took away their medical, ruined the business, ruined the credit union's reputation, and created a horrible work environment. He's gotten off easy because while others have moved on, some hurt, some feeling violated, he continues to collect more than $170,000 a year while the other scofflaw, Rodger, collects more than $100,000 and violated policy year after year after year including having an affair with that boy and liquoring employees at his house. I agree in part, but people have a right to level their anger against a horrible man. And yes, for everyone else, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. As for Wigg, he greedily did everything to grab the money while ruining a credit union and hurting so many. I think a lot of us hope that before he dies that he'll repent. He should also apologize publicly but he's a coward and it would take a miracle from above to change that monster's heart.
I think its too easy to confuse anger revenge. There's no getting even with Wigg plus who on earth would want to give him that kind of time. I agree he hurt so many people and laughed publicly. Before he got sick he used to brag about who he fired. That was his second favorite subject next to how much sex he had with fat and skinny women. The man is a pig and pitiful. But really, one of the worse at that credit union is Robert West who knowingly compromised good for evil. Yes, Robert will tell you he's christian but he forgot that even Jesus said you'll know them by their works and I see less Jesus He's worse than Wigg because Wigg doesn't seem to know right from wrong but West who tries so hard to keep that controlled front knows he condoned Wigg. And you really have to wonder what lies under West's surface. Its too controlled, too calculated and too disturbing to be real. Sometime if you have the time, ask him about his father. It explains alot about who West really is and what he's hiding from.
If you want people to stop talking about all the evil Wigg does, then put a big sock in his mouth so he keeps that japper shut. No one wants to hear him talk abut obviously no amount of cancer can get him to shut up!
I remember how he rode his old assistant and made her cry so many times. He bragged about how he abused her. Nah, I don't feel even a bit sorry for him. He made his bed and he should sleep in it. Enjoy it Wiggington, you deserve everything you did to yourself.
I am responding to the statements made by "anonymous" to leave Wiggington alone. Anonymous said.....
"Mr. Wiggington is not doing well."
Are you referring to?:
1. Health
2. Performance as President
3. Emotional stability
"Leave the man alone, he is already paying for what he has done to people (employees)."
Response: Wiggington is already alone, really alone. He has no friends except those that tell him what he wants to hear so they can keep their jobs. And a BIG no to the statement is he "alreadyt paying" for what he did to employees. Provide some examples besides his health?
"One of this day he is going to die and how are you going to feel about it?"
Response: One day we're ALL going to die, thats just a part of life. The important thing is not living a long life but how you lived your life. In the case of Wiggington, he didn't appreciate what he was giving and he made shit out of life. His choice and no one elses.
"C'mon, I do understand your anger trust me but I think enough is enough."
Response: Have you spoken to Wiggington about what he did? Have you ever told him to stop? Did you ever say, "Wiggington, enough is enough"?
"Hopefully, he will not be there in 2012. God Bless Everyone."
Response: Hopefully he won't be along with Miss Rodger and Miss West, Fat Esmeralda, No Brain Sylvia Perez, and Bea's Black twin, Yvonne Boutte.

There were some people who stood up to Wigg and put him in his place. Unfortunately they all got canned because the coward is threatened by anyone whose smarter than him, stronger than him, better than him, and doesn't want to smell or take his crap. That's about 99% of everyone on planet earth. I do agree that MAYBE he won't be here in 2012. His departure will maybe give P1 a 1% chance of surviving because right now its zero.
To all employees and former employees of Priority One, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Your future looks sunny and your skies are all clear.
May you be blessed with prosperity and hope the bad days are gone-
May you never see bad times again or your accounts overdrawn.
As all of you know, Wiggington has no peace and nothing to show,
Except that Priority One never did grow.
You have your health and you've got your life
Wigg has Smock, Yvonne and a mountain of strife.
You have a future and still have the ability to choose.
While Wigg has two trials to face and many lies to produce.
So wishing you all, a blessed New Year,
Filled with love and compassion and unending good cheer.
Wiggy still has Sylvia- Sylvia Perez-
She's a pain in the ass who causes tremendous duress.
And what happened to all the treasurers you said that you had-
You were lying again, just being bad.
And this Christmas while lying alone in your bed-
Think of all you did and all that you said.
And what do you have but a shack and some cars-
Gone for ever are the fat girls in the bars.
And if you leave, the credit union you'll miss-
Though you still have Rodger, who you can still kiss.
You're the worst President any credit union will see-
You're really no different than Rodger or Bea.
Merry Christmas to you, though how can you sleep-
When you caused so much suffering and so many to weep?
So true. They should write songs about Wigg not because he's good but because he's no good.
The only thing that was good is we got bonuses. Members are complaining that our branches are bad and their is rumor Burbank is going to close in 2012, so they better hurry and find a new location. Customers still hate coming so South Pasadena because the place is a dump and no one can explain why the board kept Wigg except its because of color. Can't even say 2012 will be better because all Wigg did in 2012 was to cut back our budgets and get rid of Bea which gave extra cash to play with but did nothing to bring us the business we need now.
Merry Christmas to the employees of Priority One. As for the Board ,Wigg, Smock, West, and Bea, life will give them what they deserve.
Charles took Friday off but before he left he said they're getting to face off on one of the lawsuits and that they're ready to win. Don't know which though.
Hey Wigg are you guys cooking the books so that everything looks good for the year?
Cooking the books? That's an annual thing with the Wiggmeister.
They should be in the positive for the end of the year because all the cut backs but that won't play in 2012 because they're not getting new business and there is very little where they can cut unless they start firing executives and managers.

WIGGINGTON LOOKS BAD!!!!!...ITS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU WANT TO NOT LOOK BUT CANT HELP BUT TO LOOK (at its picture that is) HE LOOKS LIKE A BLACK VERSION OF SKELETOR
So, does anyone knows what happened with the lawsuit he said he was going to win?
I heard Esmeralda say that the first lawsuit was Linda's. I don't know how it turned out but she said Wigg thinks the company can beat her.
p.s. Too bad he doesn't put the same energy in fixing the mess he made of the credit union. He wanted the job and he got rid of everyone who was the "enemy" hope he lives long enough to enjoy but based on the way he looks, walks and the way his left arm doesn't move, I doubt it.
Seriously, the entire American economy is bad and worse than most people think or know. Wigg saying that everything is great is just like what politicians are telling us. Its a lie. Here are some numbers for 2011 and their wild...
#1 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be "low income" or are living in poverty.
#2 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be "low income" or impoverished.
#3 If the number of Americans that "wanted jobs" was the same today as it was in 2007, the "official" unemployment rate put out by the U.S. government would be up to 11 percent.
#4 The average amount of time that a worker stays unemployed in the United States is now over 40 weeks.
#5 One recent survey found that 77 percent of all U.S. small businesses do not plan to hire any more workers.
#6 There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States today than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million extra people to the population since then.
#7 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.
#8 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 16.6 million Americans were self-employed back in December 2006. Today, that number has shrunk to 14.5 million.
#9 A Gallup poll from earlier this year found that approximately one out of every five Americans that do have a job consider themselves to be underemployed.
#10 According to author Paul Osterman, about 20 percent of all U.S. adults are currently working jobs that pay poverty-level wages.
#11 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.
#12 One recent survey found that one out of every three Americans would not be able to make a mortgage or rent payment next month if they suddenly lost their current job.
#13 The Federal Reserve recently announced that the total net worth of U.S. households declined by 4.1 percent in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone.
#14 According to a recent study conducted by the BlackRock Investment Institute, the ratio of household debt to personal income (debt ratio) in the US is 154 percent.
#15 The U.S. Postal Service has lost more than 5 billion dollars over the past year.
Its bad all over and worse when you have men like Wigg leading credit unions into quicksand. Lying to employees and members can't work for long and Priority One is NOT any time of financial fitness center and they will never show any member how to win with money because they don't know how to win with money for themselves except by covering up and lying.
Happy New Years!!!! Maybe 2012 will mean Wigg moves out.

The rest of management can just lose jobs, but for wiggy there just be pain and if he has ball cancer there will be lots of pain at the end for him.
My friends father had the ball cancer and he said there was alot of pain going towards the end. He said his father was in so much pain that he prayed his father would die soon so that the pain would stop. Good luck wiggs.
Well today we had the all company meeting at the main office. What a joke. Wigg, Missy Smock, West, and Cindy got the bright idea of showing this old news clip from 20/20 showing a disabled salesman who went door to door and made a success of getting new business. When has anyone seen "disabled" Wigg, Missy Smock, Miss West or even Cindy, go door to door and try to get new business? What a waste of 5 hours! They paid us overtime but not only was it a waste of time, they now expect every dept to meet goals and get new business. So how is accounting supposed to get new business? How is card services supposed to get new business? How is collections supposed to get new business from people that can't pay their loans or have overdrawn accounts? Miss West gave a talk about what to do during a robbery. Really? You mean to say that he is being paid the big bucks to teach classes on subjects he's been supposedly teaching for years? Is that what the new director got promoted for. Nothing has changed, he just has a bigger title and is getting more money to teach the same old boring subjects. I dare him to teach on something new. And I'd like to see Wigg get his tired ass out of the office, hit the pavement and get new business in. Hasn't he heard about teaching by example? And Cindy who is starting to look more and more like Bea Walker, said that if we get our goals then they can finally after 3 years, give us raises. What is she stupid?
What about Patti L. Did she answer any questions? She skirted the questions. These people are awful.
All the meeting proved was you need to get rid of Wiggington, Smock, West, Yvonne, Sylvia and Patti. They weren't even organized and they been planning this thing since November. It was embarassing and a waste a time. I'd like Wiggington to show us how to bring in the business.
When's the next post coming up?
Wigg says he's getting better. He said his cancer is in remission.
Whatever happened to Linda's lawsuit?? Wiggington said "we will win" true or false. Did Linda or David win?? Does anyone know?
Linda and David's lawsuits are still on. I think Linda is supposed to go to court in February though I know Wigg said they were going to try and settle with her in December. So far nothings been settled and if you know Wigg, he's going to try to low ball any settlement (no pun intended).
The one that should have sued and probably could have won was Kim. She had so many people that would have said he sexually harassed her. Don't know why she didn't but she could make a witness for anyone who sues. If she had sued maybe Wigg would have been fired and the credit union wouldn't have lost 3 branches or let a lot of good employees get harassed and fired.
So does that mean his "ball" cancer is leaving?
Our next post will be on Monday.
Good luck to anyone who brings a lawsuit against this stoopid place.
