Through the Looking Glass–Part 1

RUMORS

On April 2, 2012, Priority One Credit Union's President, Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. revealed that Paul F. Schimley, one of the credit union's overpaid attorneys from the firm of Richardson Harmon Ober PC had allegedly proclaimed a victory in the complaint filed by a former Business Development Representative against the credit union. Allegedly and according to Mr. Schimley, the Plaintiff had become uncooperative and refused to enter into a settlement offered up by the credit union. 

According to the giddy and elated President who knows about as much about the judicial system as he does about developing new business, the Plaintiff's attorney had not only agreed with the terms offered by the credit union's attorney but had suddenly changed his mind about his client's case and declared that it was indeed frivolous. The President's statements were later repeated by Director of Project Management, Yvonne Boutte, who said the Plaintiff's case had "been thrown out by the court." Evidently, the intellectually challenged President has found equally incompetent allies in Attorney Schimley, in the brash Mrs. Boutte and in the Plaintiff's attorney, Joseph L. Lovretovich

So why would Attorneys Paul F. Schimley and Joseph Lovretovich possibly violated ethics and set themselves up for a potential lawsuit and divulge information that can only be determined by a judge? And why did the President and Mrs. Boutte choose to commit slander and violate the credit union's own hypocritically guarded policy governing confidentiality?  

Not only did the undisciplined attorneys and executives choose to conduct themselves unethically, but on April 3, 2012, Priority MC, a frequent poster on this blog and a company insider, posted the following comment about the Plaintiff:

"P1 just crushed another frivellous suit from you folks. Last week Qunones lawyer announced he's quitting. Se ya Qunones. Wouldn't wanna be ya. You bloggers best be paying attention and learn something from this lesson. Ok Linda [Nisely] got a little something broke off but it was so little that it didn't matter.After her attorney got what they got, she'd have been better taking the severence offer that she wouldd've got. Think people think." 

It's not difficult to guess the ethnicity of Priority MC or for that matter, her level of education. The comment contains highly confidential information that could only have come from President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. Priority MC's inane and presumptuous statement also provoked an avalanche of reader comments. 

A few days after publishing her comment, Priority MC tried to rescind what she wrote and published the following statement:

Priority One MC said...

It's nothing related to you bloggers. All you are done with. Sharnese Nylonda got P1 involved iwht an auto insurance situation that's in court. That's all there is. Now try doing what you suppose to be doing for a change.

April 10, 2012 7:38 PM


Priority MC did a 180. Her attempt to retract what she wrote on April 3, 2012, was an extremely lane attempt to deter attention away from the President as the culprit who divulged confidential information about the former Business Development Representative and a former member named Sharnese Nylonda. Priority MC as an employee of the credit union violated the Privacy Act. 

The ploy constitutes a possible violation of the Privacy Act which is a federal offense. Priority MC has indicated that Sharnese Nylonda has involved the credit union in an auto insurance case which has proceeded to court. Evidently, the only reason why the credit union would be involved is if Sharnese Nylonda had obtained an automobile loan from the credit union. The subject is deemed confidential under the law. well maybe not to the credit union but it is a serious breach. 


As stated below, the Privacy Act states that it is a violation to share confidential information.


Financial institution regulators are to establish "standards" (related to the physical security and integrity of customer records) that would (1) ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records; (2) protect against any anticipated threats to the security of such records; and (3) to protect against unauthorized access to such records that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the customer.

On April 13, 2012 an anonymous poster who we believe is Priority MC, posted the following comment:

Anonymous said...

Nylonda Sharnese had an auto loan with priority one. She ran with a car for two years without making a payment and when we got close to repossessing her car she made a partial payment and ran again.

April 13, 2012 8:53 PM 

The possible violation of the Privacy Act which occurred when Priority MC posted a comment on April 10, 2012, was exacerbated by the comment posted on April 13, 2012. It doesn't take any great ability in deducement to see that whoever posted the information about Sharnese Nylonda is a member of the Credit Resolutions Department. Only someone who has access to member accounts that have been referred over to collection proceedings would possess intimate knowledge about Sharnese Nylonda. 


Segueing for a moment, the credit union's attorneys at Richardson Harmon Ober PC reminded us that in 2011, the firm fabricated a defense in the lawsuit filed by former Burbank Branch Manager, Linda Nisely, which attempted to portray the Plaintiff as a racist, as incompetent, and as insubordinate despite the conspicuous fact that while employed by the credit union, Mrs. Nisely never received a single warning alleging her failure to fulfill her assigned duties nor was she issued a single warning which accused her of racism. Furthermore, she was promoted from Assistant Branch Manager of the Valencia office to Branch Manager of the Burbank office. Despite proclamations by the law firm that Mrs. Nisely's case would be thrown out because it was frivolous, Priority One voluntarily settled the lawsuit. Evidently, the credit union has found attorneys who are as ethical, as dignified and as ethical as is President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr.  
In our post, titled "A Lawsuit, Hiding the Facts, and Misrepresentation, Part 2 of 2”, published on Monday, July 18, 2011, we described some of the allegations contained in the lawsuit filed by the former Business Development Representative. Here is an excerpt from our original post:


The second lawsuit, filed this past June by a former Business Development Representative and who wrote the credit union’s policies and procedures. The former employee, Qunones, alleges that in 2010, he was advised by a non-employee of the credit union, that his employment was being terminated based upon three key violations of credit union policy. These are: 
  • Having downloaded pornographic images from his company assigned PC;
  • Sexually harassing his co-workers; and
  • Being the blogger, a blogger, an acquaintance of the blogger or bloggers or possessing knowledge of who the blogger or bloggers are, and knew who the blogger’s confederates are.
In January 2011, then Human Resources "clerk" Esmeralda Sandoval, denied the credit union ever committed any of the allegations described in the lawsuit though based only on the documented record of egregious acts committed by and under President Wiggington over the past five (5) years and with consideration of Miss Sandoval’s own reprehensible conduct over the past few years, we doubt the veracity of anything she has to say 

JUGGLING ACT

In addition to complicating their legal problems, the talkative President and some of his 
managerial staff recently disclosed information pertaining to the lawsuit filed by the last Branch Manager of the no longer existent Valencia office. That lawsuit differs from the lawsuits filed by the former Burbank Branch Manager and Business Development Representative in that it reveals the disturbingly obsessive behaviors of former COO, Beatrice Walker. 


President Wiggington; Director of Project Management, Yvonne Boutte; and AVP, Joseph Garcia, have recently actually admitted that Ms. Walker tried to force a "friendship" with the Valencia Branch Manager and when her unwanted efforts failed, the slighted COO launched a ruthless and scathing campaign intended to destroy the reputation of the branch manager. Not only did the COO allegedly violate federal and state laws her schemes against the branch known became common knowledge at the main branch in South Pasadena and though Human Resources was well aware of her tirade, neither Senior Vice President, Rodger Smock, who oversees Human Resources or his assistant, Esmeralda Sandoval, chose to remind Ms. Walker that her behaviors were violating the branch manager's rights as described under state and federal law. 


What's more, the President, under direction of Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, invalidated the branch manager's allegations against Ms. Walker, determining that the conflict between both women was simply a "personality conflict.:" It's the same methodology employed by Mrs. Harris-Brooks in 2008, when she determined that President Wiggington had been encouraged to verbalize sexualized statements and inappropriately place his hands on a former employee's thighs over a period of years. Mrs. Harris-Brooks is apparently a one-trick pony. 


The President has also recently disclosed that at the time the Branch Manager was allegedly being persecuted by Ms. Walker, that he conducted a fair and impartial investigation. Yes, the man who was found to have sexually harassed a former employee conducted a fair and impartial investigation. He's also recently stated that Ms. Walker acted on her own volition without knowledge of the credit union and reminded some of his staff that she was terminated last year, due to insubordination.

It's not surprising that the President is again trying to escape accountability and declare his innocence. This is after all the same old tactic always resorted to by the immature and undisciplined President. The President may have forgotten that Ms. Walker was his friend long before she was hired to work for the credit union on June 1, 2009. He apparently doesn't remember that he hired her to identify and target "enemy" employees for expulsion. The President also disclosed that Rodger Smock was the recipient of the notice that the credit union is being sued by the last Valencia Branch Manager. 



SEX AS A WEAPON

The former Business Development Representative alleges that on the day he was terminated, the President accused him of downloading same-sex pornography from the Internet using his  company assigned computer; and of sexually harassing coworkers. The employee was terminated by the President while an unidentified forensics investigator was present. 


We've learned that the forensics investigator, an Asian male, was never introduced by name by the President and participated in the meeting as a type of witness. What's more, the forensics investigator had visited the South Pasadena branch over a period of weeks during which he was exempted from signing the visitor roster located atop the reception desk. What's more, he was seen leaving the branch in the company of Esmeralda Sandoval and Joseph Garcia, both of who provided him with "testimonies" of employees they both "knew" were the blogger or bloggers and "confederates" of the blogger/bloggers. 


What we find interesting is that Charles R. Wiggington, Sr., a proven sexual harasser, accused and terminated an employee for sexual harassment though refusing to provide evidence proving his accusations. What's more, at Priority One the subject of "sex" seems pervasive.  In addition to the 2008 investigation which proved Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. sexually harassed a former employee, there are other male officers of the credit union who have brought their indulgence with sex into the credit union. 

  • Director of Human Resources, Rodger Smock, had a relationship with a young male employee assigned to the South Pasadena Member Services Department. Then South Pasadena Branch Manager, Gema Pleitez, and Consumer Loan Officer, Georgina Duenas, told staff that they were invited to a party at Mr. Smock's home during which several female employees swam in the pool while Mr. Smock remained in the house with the male employee. Periodically, Mr. Smock would emerge from his home and refill the women's glasses with alcohol. One of the women was so inebriated, she stripped off all her clothes. Mr. Smock would meet the male employee in the Member Services Department during which he would straighten the younger man's tie and straighten his collar. Their relationship was sufficiently conspicuous to prompt then South Pasadena Branch Manager, Betty Hilliard to ask"Why are they carrying on like that?" 
  • Over the years, the former CFO in South Pasadena would tell Mr. Wiggington, Mr. Smock and other officers about the pornographic websites he visited while at work, using his company computer. 
  • For years, Mr. Smock received numerous complaints from mostly female employees which alleged that the Director of Lending was sexually harassing and abusing them. Mr. Smock refused to investigate the complaints. 
  • In 2010, Mr. Smock was forced to speak to Joseph Garcia regarding complaints lodged by female employees accusing the Loan Manager of touching them inappropriately. 
  • In 2010, COO, Beatrice Walker was accused of same-sex sexual harassment and of stalking the Valencia Branch Manager. .

BEATRICE STALKER

According to the President, amongst the many heinous accusations leveled against the credit union, are allegations that former COO, Beatrice Walker, stalked the last Valencia Branch Manager. We're not surprised by the accusations nor it particularly shocking that sex is again an issue which the credit union is apparently unable to extricate itself from. And though we are not surprised, the real question that should be asked is why is sex such a problem in Priority One's workplace? 

Is it so difficult for some of the credit union's executive sector to control behaviors that are wholly inappropriate in the workplace? One reason why the problem is so prevalent can be attributed to Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, who intentionally suppressed evidence in 2008 proving Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. sexually harassed a former employee. Her actions may have been construed as a green light by some executives that if they violate state and federal laws prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace, that they will readily be protected by the Board of Directors and in particular, it's Chair, Mrs. Harris-Brooks. 

Apparently, Ms. Walker did not respond well to having her overtures for an alleged friendship, rejected. The emotionally wounded COO, easily recruited the assistance of AVP, Sylvia Perez, who was desperate seeking acceptance by Ms. Walker who had chided her and often treated her with disdain. 

Ms. Walker and Mrs. Perez visited the Valencia branch will the branch manager was away on medical leave. During their visits, the two met with staff at that location and easily manipulated them into believing that they each had a more promising future at the credit union if they would distance themselves from their branch manager. It worked. The reason why their conspiracy succeeded is easy to deduce. Priority One has underpaid staff and under Charles R. Wiggington, Sr., collusion festers. 

The single White woman went further. She ordered all AVP's and Branch Managers not to communicate with the Valencia Branch Manager upon her return and they all complied, including then Loan Manager, Joseph Garcia; AVP, Joseph Garcia; and Van Nuys Branch Manager, Ceclia Pereyra. Ms. Walker felt validated though she had no idea that within a year, she would succumb to termination. 

So the credit union which ignored the Valencia Branch Manager's pleas, now has to contend with a lawsuit that accuses Ms. Walker of creating a hostile working environment; of harassment; of same-sex sexual harassment; of retaliation; coercion; and stalking. What's more, the President and Board Chair were well aware of the campaign perpetrated by the disturbed Ms. Walker but both not only chose to enact remedial measures and stop her violations of state and federal law, they actually tried to invalidate the branch manager's complaints and relegate them to nothing more than a conflict of personalities. 

Many employees were aware that both Ms. Walker and the Valencia Branch Manager both live in the Santa Clarita Valley but what few people know is that after the branch manager resigned and left the state with her husband on vacation, someone entered her property and poisoned her dogs. One dog died and the other survived after remaining hospitalized for several days. Coincidence? 


Hell Hath No Fury Like a COO Scorned




BOARDING UP ANOTHER BRANCH 


Irked that we reported the Burbank branch would close it's doors on May 31, 2012, President Wiggington has rescheduled it's closure to take place in June 2012. Yes, his decision is fueled by pride and more than a little inane. Like former COO, Beatrice Walker, President Wiggington has many issues with controlling his emotional reactions to almost any stimuli. 

With new the Burbank branch will remain open for just a few more days, AVP, Joseph Garcia, disclosed that the credit union intends to mail letters to all members in the city of Burbank announcing the branch's impending closure. According to Mr. Garcia, the letter will help "avoid problems." Problems? What problems does the credit union foresee happening?

Mr. Garcia's statement is a reflection of the gross ineptitude marring the credit union's managerial sector. It's really a statement that says absolutely nothing other than the credit union expects something bad to transpire as a result of the branch's closing. 

We don't see many problems arising from the closure. The largest sector of members in Burbank are employed by Providence St. Joseph Medical Center and as we've reported since 2010, they have grown increasingly displeased with the caliber of service being dispensed by Priority One. The hospital's administrators has also limited the amount of time representatives of the credit union can meet with it's staff and no longer allow the credit union to attend new hire orientations.

To justify closure of the Burbank branch, the President has recently maligned the entire staff of the Burbank branch, stating they have all failed to meet their assigned monthly quotas. According to Mr. Garcia, as a result of the staff's failure, none will be offered employment at any of the credit union's remaining branches including AVP, Sylvia Perez. 

The President has also offered a solution to members who wish to continue using their credit union accounts. He has disclosed that members can utilize Shared Branching, surcharge free ATM's or visit the Van Nuys branch. Contrary to what the President believes, none of these are solutions, they are quick, ineffective fixes.  The concept and purpose of Shared Branching is apparently something the President is unable to grasp. Shared Branching can be a wonderful convenience if you'd like to deposit or withdraw money when you are nowhere near one of your credit union's branch locations. It is however useless if you wish to resolve disputes involving your accounts or loans. You also can't apply for a loan using Shared Branching or provide proofs of documents requested by your credit union. It has it's limitations. We advise closing your Priority One accounts and opening an account with a bank or credit union conveniently located to your home or where you work. 


As we predicted, the new Santa Clarita branch is faring poorly. Members are not interested in it's inconvenient location. In late 2011, the President boasted that there is no reason to advertise the location because people would want to be become members of the credit union. He was of course wrong and his statement reaffirms that Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. is ignorant about the importance of marketing. Who would have guessed? 


In 2010, when the beautiful and successful Valencia branch closed, the President told some of his staff that it was unimportant to him if members in the Santa Clarita Valley closed their accounts because in his opinion, they were disloyal to the credit union and many had only become members to obtain one of the special promotions, i.e., low APR vehicle loans, periodically offered by the credit union. Evidently, the credit union needs business from people living and working in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Another problem we cited in 2011 concerns the location of the Santa Clarita branch which is outside of downtown Valencia, in a primarily agricultural zone and located at the base of the hill where the Santa Clarita mail processing center stands. Only two months after it's opening, the President is starting to complain that if business doesn't improve dramatically in the very near future, he may have to close the location. We predict it will close in the very near future.

The air went out this morning in the call center, card services and collections. Management knew about it but didn’t come back to the departments. When you call employee development they’re rude and say “we called them.” You know that if the air went out on their side they’d be complaining until it was fixed or they’d go home because they couldn’t work in those conditions. I guess the fact we’re sweating, can’t breath and are faces are red isn’t enough of a sign. Stupid old useless fat ass Rodger comes by in the afternoon and all fat boys says is, “Oh the repairman didn’t show up?” No, they didn’t show up numb nuts! We should have called CalOSHA. They don’t care about anyone except themselves!!!!!!!

The attorney who told Wigg about David's lawyer quitting is Shimley (not sure about the spelling). Esmeralda said he has a plastic leg or hip or something like that. Wigg was so happy and he told Yvonne who repeats everything to Alex and sometimes to Gema. You got have sleazy lawyers if your going to defend Wigg.

Wiggington and the board took P1 from great to the bottom of the barrel. Most people know you don't keep a sexual harasser who never can bring in new business. Whether the board likes it or not, they look like racists. O. Glen and Gathers used to say that P1 needed a black president so thats what they got, a black president and no business. Good choice.

Anonymous said...

It wasn't until after the first and second lawsuit that they started hiring whites. Coincidence? Saffold did say that P1 needed a black president. No, what they needed and need is a White, Latino, Asian or maybe a Black man who have leadership qualities and integrity and don't think laws are something you can ignore just because you make over $100 grand a year and live in a shack in Echo Park.

I agree with anonymous that it is a strength in numbers game. Wigg kisses up to the board speaking "their" language and telling them what they want to hear just so he keeps is job and gets a salary he never works for.

Sorry to whoever said they were told staff at Burbank was not going anywhere, but the credit union already passed out notices to most of the employees at Burbank telling them they are not going to be kept. Sylvia Perez is going Santa Clarita. Keeping big mouth, aggressive, no talen, "feel sorry for me" Sylvia, is like betting on a three-legged horse. Don't be surprised if she speeds up the fall of Santa Clarita which is a ghost town.

Anonymous said...

Sylvia Perez is poison. She used to head the WOW committee and EVERYONE quit on her. They all complained that she was a control freak, didn't give them the freedom to help create ways of improving morale and she was rude and cutting. When she was in Van Nuys, she would visit Superior Industries (the place that FIRED Rodger Smock years ago) on Wednesdays. Every time she left we would be so happy. It was like a bonus not to have her there micromanaging and treating us like she's smart (which she's not) and we're all stupid (which she is). She says the credit union is her life but she treats people worse than dogs. Stupid ass Wigg keeps her because their "friends" not because she knows how to do her job which she doesn't. She's as bad for business as Wigg is. You can always bet that P1 will fire and abuse great employees but keep the scum and promote them to management!

Cindy sent an email saying the credit union needs loans. No poop, Sherlock. I'd like to know why Garvin isn't out in the field, rather splitting her time sitting at her desk and gossiping with Yvonne. And Joseph is away but when he was manager of loans, loans went down. What has he done to get loans? Tonight is also the annual meetng. It will be interesting to see what new bull***t Diedra and Wiggington try to pull. I know stupid useless Smock was saying that business is up. Guess he doesn't know how to read the monthlies and he hasn't heard Joseph and Cindy telling people business is down. Someone is lying and I bet its Smock.

The meeting was stupid. Well, the meeting wasn't stupid, Wiggington and Diedra Brooks were stupid. It was the usual waste of time talking about how good the credit union did in 2011 and how they are going to try to do better in 2012. The same old speakes with the same old lies. What was HYSTERICAL is that the Board gave themselves awards. Guess no one wanted to give them awards since their useless and stupid and helped destroy the credit union. Here are some awards they should of passed out.

Diedra Harris Brooks should of got an award for being as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.

Thomas Gathers should have gotten an award for having the worst BO on the board.

Bobby Thomas should have got an award for being 2 faced.

Richard Hale should of got an award for most stupid grin.

O. Glen Saffold should of got one for failing the bar exam so many times and for believing OJ is innocent and that blacks don't get ahead because the white man is keeping HIM down. Idiot.

Cornelia Simmons should got one for looking like Zira from Planet of the Apes, though not as intelligent.

Big mouth Wiggington spoke for 45 minutes that felt like 45 hours and lied and lied and lied, saying business is great all is well. He better talk to his people, because Joseph keeps saying if we don't get more business priority might have to merge or close. Same for Cindy and Yvonne acts like she's about to give birth to a cow. So either Wigg is saying the truth and his managers are lying or he's lying AGAIN and his managers are telling the truth.

I am kind of shocked by some of the comments about Wigg but he's hurt and abused so many people and he should have been fired when they got all the evidence he sexually harassed Kim. He's made his own bed. They say you don't shit in your own backyard but he did that and more.

Burbank Branch shutting down in Three more days!!

Anonymous said...

Really sad. Thanks Wiggington and Diedra for helping shut down another branch. Eventually the credit union is going to relocate into some old ice cream truck. Way to show us how smart you two are!

The people in our back office have been working all day without airconditioning and Big Foot was told that it won't get fixed until the end of the week (maybe). CalOSHA (http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24602) says temperature must be moderate and sufficient to work in. They moved the call center people to member services and they're going to put people in the training room, but the training room doesn't have aircondictioning, vents, or a fan. I think it was built without being approved by the city. Employees call CalOSHA and file your complaints. Wigg is stupid enough to think sweat shops are still legal.

Anonymous said...

Problems with the airconditioning have been going on for years! You can thank pansy ass Rodger Smock, who never lifted a finger to correct the problem because in his usually lispy, sissy tone, "Its expensive." Yeah, but you're not holding back on spending money on yourself and Wigg are you, Queen for a Day? When their were termites flying around the back area, he looked at it and said, "Well let's see what we can do" and then he walked off like a brontosaurus. A week later, more termites and when they called to tell him, he got mad. He's a useless bitch. It wasn't until Bea got termites in her office that she jumped all over Smock. Two days later the problem was fixed though they only put poison in the areas where the saw termites flying around. I guess it didn't occur to home and apartment building owner, Rodger, that termites spread. It also never occurred to him/her that you might need a new air conditioning unit or control. Quick fixes don't work! Then again, he and Wigg are famouse for trying to patch up problems and trying to get quick business. Idiots!

Wigg's office was nice and cool and so was fat boy, Smock's. At least they're not suffering.

i once saw a $500.00 check written out to that AC company for having that AC guy come out to check the system. When i was working there the AC guy would be roaming around the CU checking the vents almost every other day. Smock is such a f'ing idiot. He spends so much money trying to repair the vintage AC unit. What that old fart doen't get is that with all money his old ass is spending trying to keep that old AC running the CU could have bought a brand new AC unit that would never break. These old managers and "executives" are worthless. They ruined the CU and ruined many careers for good hard working employees.

Anonymous said...

That's right, for years they had the same repair people. Rodger is not frugal, he's cheap! If getting a new a/c unit is going to cost $15,000 to replace, he'd rather spend $500 a month for 30 months, trying to get the old one patched up. He was as uselss when it came to getting employee benefits. For people who don't know, the poorly paid employees of P1 pay out the butt for their benefits. P1 is not an employee friendly CU. Smock only cares that he doesn't lose his job and that he continues to get that big salary to keep up his house and of course, support his aging boy toy.

The airconditioning issue is not stupid if you're forced to work in it. Unless you've sat in the credit union's back office, you'll never know what its likes to work without airconditioning, air vents, or clean air.

Anything interesting? Well, Burbank is closing. That's a big deal. Dana, Leroy and the part-time tellers got their notices. They all are happy to leave. Sylvia is moving to Santa Clarita but she's not thrilled because the drive will be farther and she might not be an avp (which she should never have been).

Sales are down. I went to Yvonne's desk today and I was told she was in a meeting with Alex. Two hours later their still in the meeting. The spent the morning whispering, its not business its about gossip. Idiot Wigg thinks its okay to have overpaid managers who don't work, but expect everyone to work and spend their days like him, gossiping. These people should be sent to some island in the Pacific where they can spend the rest of their lives gossiping and NOT working!

the AC guy doesn't charge $500 per month. it costs the CU $500.00 EVERY TIME he comes to check the system. money well spent. stupid smock and wigg. they are the ones who cut advertising to save money. i bet they stop their clocks to save time. they are worthless idiots.

That's another lowlife trailer trash bitch, who wants employees who don't talk and who only get sales. Ever noticed how the phones ring and ring at South Pasadena without being answered because Cindy has them all calling people to sell loans. I wish she'd go back to Oz.

Cindy said P1 is offering auto loans as low as 2%. She and Wigg are doing this because they believe employees will eventually meet their goals and bring in the new business P1 needs to stay open. First of all, how much profit does Garvin thinks the credit union is going to make by offering a 2% loan? And what makes her and Wigg think that all the goals are going to be met. They're gambling again and they're going to help P1 lose money. I can't believe she supposedly an expert because you never see her do anything that works out to make things better for Pl. Lately she's become the hall monitor, telling employees to work. She needs to save her lame speeches for Yvonne who is always gossiping away.

Cindy and Yvonne are helping Wigg lie. He says business is great. If thats true, why's Burbank closing tomorrow and more people using their jobs you hockey puck.

They should move-relocate Burbank employees to South Pas to work and have them do cold calling so we can get our job done in here. ...management is so stupid a stuspid can be. Where is JOSEPH?

Wiggington approved hiring people for Van Nuys (to replace James) and for the Los Angeles branch. Robert West sent notices to Leroy, Dana, and the other tellers in Burbank, notifying them they are being laid off. Couldn't he have offered Leroy the position in Van Nuys or Los Angeles? Now Dana lives out in Lancaster and she drives more than 70 miles one way to get to Burbank. She has a baby so she has to get up extra early. Her car needs a lot of work she can't afford and of course, the only ones getting raises at work are managaement. Fat Esmeralda told her she could work part-time but if she's not making enough on a part-time, piddly ass salary, why would she even consider working part-time. She declined of course. Esmeralda lives far to but she's always been protected by Mrs. Rodger Doubtfire. When she was going to school he let her come to work late and leave early. When she and Bea used to ride in together on the train, Esmeralda was allowed to leave work early. The fat bitch is nothing but a lowlife barrio chola with attitude. They should have kicked her ass back to Taco Bell.

p.s. Joseph just got back from Aguafrias or some name like that, in Mexico. He's been talking about how he almost got mugged. I wonder why they would pick Rico Not So Suave to rob. He doesn't look like he's got money and he sounds like Ricky Ricardo though there is something that may he and Rodger pitch for the same team.

Joseph is an idiot and trying to impressive his boyfriend, Wigg. He's writing up people and threatening anyone who isn't getting the business because everyone knows that threats are the best way to get results. And the a/c is still out. I wonder if Wigg is purposely not fixing it. At the annual meeting he talked and talked and talked about how great we're doing. If we're doing so great FIX THE AIR you useless SOB.

who had the great idea to move the call center into the lending department? how f'ing stupid is P1 management??? reps are talking to members about their accounts and why they are denied loans in fromt of members waiting to speak to someone in the loan department. personal information is out in the open for everyone to see. i am sure that is against regulation but again it is P1 and ghetto black ass wigg and faggot fudge packer smock do not see anything wrong with that. P1 is the most unprofessional cu that tries so hard to be professional. its either ghetto southern talk where yvonne will ax someone a question instead of ask or broken up english with spanish fillers.

Everyone is right.

They threaten like crazy with write ups.

They treat u like shit.

The job is stressful.

Morale is low and unethical behavior is high.

None of these people (management) have a chance anywhere else because they don't know the fundamentals of management. Do a quick spot check on the four core values of management and they'll simply respond "fuck off and get back to work before we fire your ass!" This is the environment we unfortunately work in.

You left out that they threaten your job as well. What they don't get or notice is that for starters its doesn't work, but also that employees don't care really if they're threatened. We're all kind of numb to it already. They do it so often. Also if they let you go there is always unemployment you can cash which is why their threats are also so empty. They are quick to threaten for results but won't really fire you because then they're paying a part of your unemployment. Got to love how ruthless they are but don't lose a wink of sleep.

I can actually Wigg selling bongs from a table on Central and Florence. I could see Yvonne and Alex as security guards. You need hardened, dog-faced guards. Sylvia could take orders at Lupe's Burrito hut. Where to put Joseph? He or she would make a wonderful host or hostess at Denny's because you don't have to get to know who a host or hostess really is plus they aren't allowed to threaten you. Plus he's real good at getting water for members. Esmeralda could be a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, but that means she'll have to diet and Robert West.... I have no idea where he fits in. Is there work for people who are in a coma?
