And Then There Were None
Yesterday, May 30, 2012, Priority One Credit Union's Burbank branch permanently closed its doors making this the fourth branch to close since mid-2010 in what is President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr.'s desperate attempt to reduce spending and raise net capital.
Since his appointment on January 1, 2007, President Wiggington has proven to be the worst President and CEO to ever lead the no longer prosperous credit union. On the day he became President, the credit union had the following branches:
- South Pasadena
Burbank:Closed- Los Angeles
Redlands: ClosedRiverside:Closed- Van Nuys
Valencia:ClosedWorldway: Closed
Since January 1, 2007 and as shown above, Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. has closed more than 50% of the credit union's once successful branches. The President insists the closures are out of his control but one can't ignore that prior to his appointment, the credit union grew and prospered something that ceased to happen after Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. was named President. In spite of his well documented failures, during the May 27, 2012, annual meeting, the President declared the business is "great." During his approximate 45-minute speech, the President spoke to the point of ad nauseum about the credit union's many alleged achievements occurring in 2011. Is he daft?
What he never mentioned is that Priority One is addictively dependent upon expense reductions as key to its survival. What's more, the credit union no longer can afford to maintain a presence in all of Riverside county.
CONSULTANTS
Since 2009, the credit union has been spending tens of thousands of dollars on consultants who try but fail to rework the credit union's tarnished public image.
This year, the latest group of consultants arrived at the South Pasadena branch and began an intensive inspection of the credit union's operations and website and mailed form letters to members including employees and former employees, trying to gauge responses as to how the credit union can improve services and products.
Monies spent, actually wasted in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and consultants provided the credit union with extensive data about member reactions to the credit union's offers, suggestions where improvements could be introduced and suggestions where internal changes could enhance staff development but the President rejected all findings and suggestions because they were unpalatable with is personal view of the credit union. Don't expect this latest costly venture to produce anything worthwhile which helps the credit union escape the problems caused by years of mismanagement.
THE NEW MARKETING SPECIALIST
This past April, the credit union hired a new Marketing Specialist. The former Marketing Specialist who had a degree in marketing, was laid-off in 2010 after Senior Vice President, Rodger Smock, became the jealous of the much young man and began a campaign slandering the specialist's abilities. He also all too easily convinced COO, Beatrice Walker, that the specialist was leaking confidential information on to the Internet even though the specialist had no access to confidential information.
The new specialist was introduced to the credit union by CLO, Cindy Garvin. On his first day of work, the new Marketing Specialist, Daniel Ballesteros, was was hurriedly escorted to the office of Employee Services Manager, Esmeralda Sandoval. He was not introduced to other staff members. He was initially asked to work from home because the President doesn't want information about the specialist finding its way to the Internet.
Last month, the President disclosed that the Marketing Specialist will be provided "a small budget" which will be used to conduct all necessary studies and pay for advertising. The President is again showing his ignorance that marketing requires spending money if it's going to obtain information used to promote the credit union's name, products and services.
We hope the Marketing Specialist can work within a constricted and frugal budget and more importantly, working alongside a President who has little concept of the role of marketing in the development of business.
LEGAL PROBLEMS
During the month of May, Priority One continued contending with its many legal problems. A complaint suggests the credit union is preparing to be sued again. If sued, this will be the third lawsuit filed against the credit union since October 2010. The President and Yvonne Boutte, the Director of Credit Resolutions, disclosed the second lawsuit filed by a former Business Development representative had finally been settled. Last April the President declared the lawsuit had been dismissed by the court due to a lack of evidence and that the Plaintiff's attorney had suddenly resigned after realizing his client's lawsuit was frivolous.The President's version of what allegedly transpired is questionable. If the Plaintiff's attorney agreed to represent his client, its because the complaint possessed merit. Why would any attorney agree to represent a person and then months later realize that the client's case lacked merit.
This past April, President Wiggington informed the Member Service Department's Manager, a chief consumer loan officer and the AVP of Sales and Business Development that the credit union had been victorious in defeating the first and second lawsuits filed by former employees Despite the President's statements alleging the second lawsuit had been dismissed, just two weeks ago, the credit union voluntarily offered a monetary amount to settle the case. Obviously, the President lied when he stated the case had been dismissed. Later, in this post, we will provide additional insight into some of the President's latest antics recently carried out by his not-so-elite executives. Their behaviors remind us that at Priority One, personal decorum and intelligence are not considerations when the President chooses to hire and promote executives and managers.

AVOIDING the FACTS
During this year's annual meeting, which took place in South Pasadena on May 23th, was planned to present a promising picture of the plans for the credit union's future but what was conspicuously apparent is that both the President and Mrs. Harris-Brooks were careful to avoid all mention of branch closures, decaying employee morale or the credit union's horrendous public reputation. They also didn't acknowledge increasing account closures, amassing member complaints poor member service, or the fact the credit union has been sued by three former employees. Its what the President and Board Chair avoided saying that is most telling.
Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, exerted tremendous effort to convince/dupe/fool/scam attendees into believing that 2011 was a stellar year for the credit union during which the organization grew and prospered. The President and Board Chair apparently believe no one remembers that four (4) branches have been closed since 2010 or that net income has dropped by approximately $20 million since Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. was named President on January 1, 2007.
This year's meeting was evidently intended to deceive attendees by presenting an inaccurate portrayal of the credit union's performance in 2011 and a fictitious and enhanced depiction of what lies ahead for the credit union in 2012. One indicator that their stories are no longer believed is the fact that all attendees were either employees of officers of the credit union. Conspicuously absent were ambassadors and members of the United States Postal Service and Select Employer Groups.
During the entire meeting, no mention was made to the lawsuits litigated in 2011 or settlements voluntarily entered into by the credit union. Also, nothing was said about mounting member complaints citing deficient member service levels. The intent of the President and Board Chair was to present a view of the credit union through rose-colored glasses.

The Annual Report
The cover of this year’s Annual Report is upbeat, positive and is titled, “Building a Stronger financial future”. Unlike reports published prior the January 1, 2007, the report is a frugal in appearance and found using low quality paper and faded type and graphics. It clearly reflects the President's efforts to reduce spending.
The report contains addresses "signed by" officers of the credit union describing in part, their accomplishments throughout 2011 and what they hope to achieve in 2012. It's of course all hyperbole.
All propaganda aside, since April 2012, account closures continue to increase, many employees are failing to achieve their monthly sales quotas and the credit union is no longer competitive and heavily reliant upon expense reductions as key to it's survival.
Growth?
During his address, President Wiggington credited improvements that allegedly took place in 2011, to overcoming impediments caused by the national economy but avoided alluding to his business blunders and his wasting of hundreds of thousands of dollars of credit union monies and of course, closure of the Riverside branch.
THE ADDRESS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD CHAIRPERSON
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE
This year's report was as aimless and empty as those of previous years, with Supervisory Committee Chair, Cornelia Simmons, once again presenting another of her insipid messages declaring that Priority One's performance is declared to be sound. We're starting to believe that she uses a single template when creating her annual reports.
We’d like Ms. Simmons to provide examples of how the Committee encourages “strengthening of internal controls” and what goes into the committee's alleged "review process." Her message is so general it virtually offers nothing to support what are her unfounded declarations.
Joseph Marchica has served as Treasurer of the Board for many years though we think it's time the elderly Director resigned. He doesn't attend most monthly meetings because he lives too far from South Pasadena. Did he forget he is supposed to be serving members? He, like the other Directors, panders to the Chairpersons every whim making him useless to ensuring the upward mobility of the credit union.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER
Joseph Marchica has served as Treasurer of the Board for many years though we think it's time the elderly Director resigned. He doesn't attend most monthly meetings because he lives too far from South Pasadena. Did he forget he is supposed to be serving members? He, like the other Directors, panders to the Chairpersons every whim making him useless to ensuring the upward mobility of the credit union.
His report reveals just how-out-of-touch he is. He describes the Board's efforts in 2011 as a "long and eventful journey." Eventful in what way? Is he trying to turn a positive out of a series of negatives which includes the closures of four branches and the loss of more than $20 million in net assets? Mr. Marchica failed to consider the following facts:
- Priority One’s asset value has decreased by approximately $20 million since January 1, 2007.
- Member complaints have increased, citing poor member service.
- The Call Center is a failure.
- The Credit Union's relationship with employees of the United States Postal Service and of employees of Providence St. Joseph has deteriorated and in the case of St. Joseph, is probably not salvageable.
- The credit union has been sued by three former employees.
We've also recently confirmed that several former employees of the Burbank branch have and are recommending members in Burbank open accounts at Logix Credit Union and Universal Studios Credit Union.
Mr. Marchica also ignores the fact that under Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. and Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, Priority One is a much smaller, poorer and no longer competitive credit union. Certainly, there is nothing in it's performance to suggest a more promising future.
As we've stated previously, under President Wiggington, creating false impressions has become necessary and pivotal to trying to cover-up the effects of his rampant blunders and personal indiscretions. Don't expect the credit union's current slippage to change at anytime soon. The reason is that the President who created the problems and the Board who allowed his widespread problems to persist are the same people who are in charge of forging a solution. It's just not possible and to believe they can fix what they created defies all logic.
Kindly Share The Love»»

Joseph is a bitch. He tries to be a bully but I bet he wouldnt threaten people, if he was outside the office by himself. He also has a little too much female energy (no offense to all women). He acts like Sylvia Perez and just as unatractive. We're not getting the business and I didn't realize they had the annual report on the system. Thanks because its as big a joke as Wigg. He must think everybody's as retarded as him.

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?
June 1, 2012 5:13 PM
Wow, does Yvonne like to talk. I think Yvonne is going to give birth to a horse and a cow. Congratulations, Big Foot.
Its not just the threats which are way out of hand, its also that Cindy, Yvonne, Smock, Wigg and Joseph are hypocrites. Yesterday, Yvonne was in the back offices whispering with Alex, talking about staff. Later, Cindy told some of the girls who were in the copying room to stop talking and get to work, yet she and Yvonne are out in the street and alleys, back room, bridge, gossiping. Joseph says you better bring in business or you'll get written up or fired but he's a piece of shit whose never sold anything and members can't stand him. I even got a call from a postal employee who wanted to know who he is because he some him at some event and said he makes a bad impression. That's an understatement. Smock and Wigg are always gossiping like 2 very old looking school girls. They should all be fired, their the worse.
The credit union's attorneys are shrewd but not as smart as they think. They did try to squash Linda' case by changing the reasons why P1 fired her but it didn't work because she had documents that shot them down. Esmeralda told Smock that she attended the deposition for the second lawsuit but she was a clerk at the time. Why didn't West or Smock go. Were they scared of David? I don't think David puts up with bullshit and those two are full of bullshit. Before the depositon, Wigg said they were going to film it so that they could intimidate David like they tried with Linda. Wigg and the attoneys are nothing but a bunch of game playing geezers who are part of some "boys club" I mean "idiot boys club."
I like the cover of your annual report better than the one the credit union used.
I saw David last year. He told me he had gone to the depositon and Esmeralda was there. He said the lawyer tried to be slick but was too obvious plus the guy was asking questions about Linda Nisely and wanted to know if Latinos were treated better at P1 than other groups. He said he told them that for years, Smock and Wigg had let Gema and Georgina get away with having other people clock them in and that they were never written up. He also said that some Latins like to speak Spanish and gossip in Spanish in front of non-Spanish speakers including members. He said the attorney showed him some documents which he knows Wigg made up and they tried to accuse him of saying bad things about the credit union. Does anybody say good things about the credit union or Wigg? He said Esmeralda was glaring at him, probably because Gema is her cousin but he didn't care. He doesn't play the race game, that's why he hated the clicks that were going around the office with the Latins all hanging out together.
David was and is the best person you could ever know. He never failed to help anyone who needed help. EVERYONE LOVES DAVID! Ever noticed that when one employee is really well liked by everyone it seems to drive Wiggs crazy? He was so jealous of Kim H. no one came to him with member problems, they went to Kim H. because we all knew she would do everything in her power to help that member. P1 has been such a bad joke since 2007.
Well, it takes a whore to defend a whore like Wiggington and that includes Diedra. Rodger was already a whore. When I started working he said his sons lived with him at his home in Echo Park. I met them. First of all, they were short, Latino, spoke Spanish and broken English (like Gema, except male). One look and you know they weren't his sons though I'm pretty sure they called him daddy.
I remember David helped that witch, Virginia, get a big problem she had with her credit card, fixed and he also helped Gema get $3000 or more from BMW when her car went in reverse. He also helped stupid Patti Loiacano with forms and documents, because lets face it the woman has a lot of knowledge about procedures but she's as dumb as dirt in the writing department.
Kim was the BEST! She was too good to work with a piece of shit like Wiggington. She was also backstabbed by Rodger Smock who should be kicked out of the gay community because he's a disgrace to men, gay, and real women.
Rodger's not a whore, he's a wanna be whore. I mean look at him. He weighs 300 lbs and Wigg used to say he wears the biggest pants he'd ever seen (Wigg has the biggest mouth I've ever seen) and Rodger's what, like 150 years old. He's always limping around, saying he doesn't feel good and where are my coupons? I haven't get any from you lately, Miss Rodger. Come on girl, I want me some pollo loco.
Yeah, P1's been a joke since 2007.
Wigg's been a joke since 1955. Rodger's been a joke since 1800. Three really unfunny jokes.
Just read the annual report. I'm surprised Wigg only has ball cancer.
Wigg came from the banking industry where he was a big zero. He's always wanted to turn P1 into a bank and he see's members as customers. As customers he can do as he please and doesn't think he's abligated to keep members informed. You can tell because he and that old woman, Diedra, keep putting out these stupid annual reports that talk smack. If he was still at a bank, he would have driven them into the ground. Makes you wonder why he came to the cu industry.
I don't think there is anything weird about Priority giving out Nylonda Sharnese's name and breaking the law. I mean that's what they do. Thats why their spending so much on legal. The only people in the office who know the details about the case are Wiggington, Yvonne, Alex, and Smock. One of them either posted it directly on the blog or they told someone who they knew would post it. This is 100% Wiggington!
Priority One is being sued by State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance? That's hysterical. Who's going to sue them next, WienerSchnitzel?
Priority One's been sued by Linda, David, Suzan, and State Farm. Is that the great business idiot Wigg talked about at the meeting? Moron must think everybody's as stupid as he looks.
You're right John, Garcia is stuid and doesn't know what he's doing. Joseph and Cindy tell him what he wants to hear. Thanks for the great posts.
What's up with Yvonne today? She's wound up. I think she didn't like people knowing she hangs out in driveways and maybe even trash cans.
Yvonne is an idiot! She's not the smart, well put together manager she'd like everybody to think she is. There is no manager whose perfect but this is a sneaky, back-stabbing, gossipy, opportunist old bitch. When she and her good friend Saundra Whitt stopped getting along, Yvonne started saying Saundra only brought negativity to the credit union and when Saundra quit, Yvonne said she was glad she was gone. When her "relationship" with Bea fell apart, she started talking about how stupid Bea was and how Bea didn't know anything. She doesn't like Wigg and has told her staff to call her when she's in his office too long, that way she can get away from his blabbing. She's vindictive, a backstabber, dishonest and as ugly in the inside as she is on the outside.
Well said.
Maybe Yvonne is mad because it was she and Alex who always talk about what Wigg tells Yvonne. Yvonne sometimes also shares what she's been told with Gema. It was Yvonne who talked about Nylonda Sharnese. She is the only manager in collections beside Alex, who would know about the case. It had to be one of these two old, drag-queen looking hags who posted the information on the blog. The member should be told so she can file a complaint with the DFI and maybe even sue for putting her collection information on the blog.
Oh no, that would be terrible if someone else filed another lawsuit. What are the chances?
Pretty good, actually.
I don't know what's going on. Cindy is policing to make sure employees aren't talking. What she should be doing is getting loans up. She's turned out to be a nother loser, like Bea and Yvonne. Yvonne and her dog, Alex, are talking about who they think is saying bad things about them. Is there anything nice to say about Bea or Alex? Think about it. They both lie, backstab and gossip. Joseph is an idiot. Thats all you can say about him/her. Smock is complaining about his legs. Maybe he should be sent to the glue factory. Wigg is paranoid and looks like shit. The girls in Burbank are supposed to work for a few more days packing up the place. Cheaper than spending on movie company.
The annual report is a joke. There isn't one thing that's true in. Wigg knows employees aren't going to buy his bullshit. Now that's what they're good at, bullshit!
I couldn't stop laughing at the part about Yvon and Cindy in the alley. Too funny. Sad but funny.
The warnings were just the first step. Wiggington gave the order last week to start firing peole who got written up before and didn't make their goals. It is so sad. No training, no tools, and idiots running the show. All Wiggington, all of the time.
WOW... I could just CRY because Mr. William Harris worked so hard to make that credit union the "PEOPLES" Credit Union!!! Everyone loved that credit union once upon a time ago.Mr. Harris was SO good to the employees especially one employee who really OWES HER LIVE TO MR. HARRIS AND THAT WAS...ANA CERVANTES!! AND TO THOSE WHO DONT KNOW I WILL TELL YOU THE STORY...AT THE TIME ANA CERVANTES WAS THE ASST. MANAGER AT THE VALENCIA OFFICE, WELL ANA HAD GIVE THE CREDIT UNION NOTICE TO PURSUE HER NEW CAREER IN REAL ESTATE, WELL THE DAY ANA'S HEALTH INSURANCE EXPIRED THAT NIGHT ANA WENT TO HAPPY HOUR AFTER WORK AND GOT SO DRUNK OUT OF HER MIND THAT SHE HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT DRIVING THE 210 FWY HOME (i believe it was the 210)SHE WAS DRIVING WAY OVER SPEED LIMIT AND THE FWY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SHE WAS NOT WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND WAS EJECT FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT, TOSSED OUT OF THE CAR AND PINNED BETWEEN HER BRAND NEW DENALI AND THE CENTER OF THE 210 FWY, SHE WAS IN A COMA FOR DAYS AND LOSE A PORTION OF HER ARM...NEEDLESS TO SAY, ONCE THE CREDIT UNION GOT WORD OF WHAT HAPPEN TO ANA...MR. WILLIAM HARRIS RAN TO SMOCK'S OFFICE AND HAD SMOCK HAVE ANA'S HEALTH INSURANCE REINSTATED!!!!!...NOW WHAT KIND OF EMPLOYER WILL DO THAT FOR YOU?
CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE WHAT HER MEDICAL EXPENSES LOOKED LIKE?!?!
...YES and it came down to all of this BULLSHIT???....Way to FUCKIN GO WIGGINGTON!!!....AND LETS NOT FORGET THE STUPID ASS BOARD ALL THEY WORRY ABOUT IS GETTING PAID FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
AND NOW THE CREDIT UNION HAS A 4TH LAW SUIT WITH STATE FARM INSURANCE?!?!....ITS A WRAP FOR P1 CREDIT UNION!!!
How many loans have he got he should fire himself what a fucking joke this asshole is. He should start writing up all those overpaid so called AVP'S the people that he's writing up are operational employees they have to take care of the member not do his job.
Mr.Harris was a good man. Not perfect, but good. He helped a lot of members. I remember one member whose credit didn't qualify her for a loan, but she needed money to bury her mother. She was denied by the Loan Department but when she called Mr Harris, he approved the loan and she paid it back! Show kindness to people and you earn their loyalty (except Wigg, Smock, Yvonne, Alex, West, Esmeralda....).
What he did for Ana was wonderful. Wigg and Smock would never have done that for her or for anyone else. Wigg should be run out of town along with buck tooth Diedra Harris and the entire, tired, stupid, uneducated, ghetto board.
First written warnings and now terminations? Way to go Wigg. Ah, I have a question. How are you going to provide quality member service if you're firing your staff? You already have some of the worst service in the industry. And doesn't the Mission Statement say that Priority One will show members and EMPLOYEES how to "win with money"? So Wiggington, how does firing employees help them "win with money"? And name one thing that makes Priority 1 an attractive credit union? Come on boy, just name one thing?
Here is their mission statement right out of the annual report:
Mission:
To help our member-owners and employees achieve financial fitness. We are
committed to offering quality products and services that help you win with money.
Tagline:
Priority One Credit Union – Your Financial Fitness Center
Its all bullshit. Can't believe they can publish it with a straight face. I wonder if all the fired employees and particularly the one's who had their reputations attacked, think POCU achieve financial fitness or put them in debt. Yvonne has said there is a lot of ex-employees who in collections. I know that one employee filed bankruptcy and named their POCU personal loan and the others have had so much difficulty paying their auto and personal loans. P1 is a blood sucking company and members should avoid getting loans or opening accounts at this dump.
Joseph said we almost reached our goal in May but he said we still fell short and that employees better shape up and get the business in or we're going to see our co-workers go. I know everyone is feeling the stress and I can't think of anyone that likes him. In fact, I think he's more hated than Wiggington which seems impossible.
No one likes Joseph or his father, Wigg. No one likes Yvonne, stupid frustrated big mouth troublemaker. No one likes Alex who is pure evil. No one likes Cindy because she's a bitch. Esmeralda and West are in the same boat. These are rotten, good for nothing, backstabbing, lazy, ignorant people. And dumb as dirt and yes that includes you Robert West. They could all serve on the board.
Joseph is scheduling another of his stupid meetings which he says is supposed to get us charged about new business but is just another opportunity for him to ride our asses. You are right, no one likes him because he's a bully. And though its not usually important, Is he gay? I'm not being sarcastic or homophobic but he's got so much female energy
and he too frustrated.

I wouldn't believe ANYTHING Joseph has to say. He's an idiot and doesn't know shit. He has no idea what branch closures mean. He doesn't understand the effect employee terminations will have on the CU. And now P1 has sent out notice that all credit union issued phones have to be returned by tomorrow, Friday 6/8/12. They can't even afford the phones thoug the good news is, Joseph won't be calling people 10 times a day asking them where they're at, who they spoke to, and how much business they got. You can almost hear the sound of the big toilet flushing. Bye bye Wigg.
joseph needs to be written up and fired. his employees not meeting their goals is a reflection of him not doing his job. if managers and avps are setting goals for employees then piece of shit wigg and pussy smock should be setting goals for everyone including theirselves. if goals are not met then managers and avps should be the first to go. P1 needs leaders to lead by example. the management team is nothing but a joke. not one manage or avp at p1 is qualified to be in the position they are in.
Notice how its the employees that suffer. Wigg makes sure he, Sissy Smock, Coma West, and Rolley Polley Esmeralda keep their jobs. Joseph is the one who is responsible for numbers not being met. He was given a staff and he was to develop them but instead he barks out orders, intimidates and pesters everyone, thinking thats the way you run a business. Then again, he's as stupid as Wigg. None of them deserve the salaries they're getting paid and they are all equally stupid. Can you imagine Wigg, Smock, West, Esmeralda, Sylvia, Cindy or Joseph, working at successful credit union or bank? Never. I don't think I'd hire them to work at Taco Bell. There's a reason they have 4 less branches and why they can't even afford to pay for company cell phones. There's also a reason why they used to be worth $172 million. I hope Providence St. Joseph brings in CITI bank, the bank that does their payroll, and throws Wigg out!
I think firing employees is an excuse for reducing their expenses. They really do need staff because they're barely able to provide service now. I think its just another sneaky way to cut staff that way Wigg doesn't get blasted on this blog which is going to happen anyway. Loser.
Yes, Joseph should be fired. That's another that had complaints filed against some female employees because he used to like hugging them and running his hands down their back and putting his arms around their waists. Ask Smock, he remembers. The first group that needs to get fired is the Board. Next Wigg, Smock, Sylvia, Yvonne..... These people have all f***ed up the credit union. Diedra needs to go back to Prairie Avenue.
Yes, Big Foot is stressing. She doesn't know anything about member services yet she supervises it. Her staff is not meeting their goals and she's been threateing to write them up, demote them, or fire them. Who can feel sorry for this over-sized bully?
Boo hoo for Yvonne. Who can feel sorry for the bitch. She's another Bea except without the bran muffin face. Her best friend is Alex Suarez, a big mouth, gossip addicted, two-faced ass who talks to her staff like they're shit. No, Alex, you're shit, so treat your staff with more respect. And put your daggers away, we're all sick of seeing them.
I totally forgot about Anna Cervantes. You are so right. Mr. Harris did a wonderful thing so that she would go into debt. Priority was once known as the people's credit union but you forget with all the abuses Wiggington has done.
I always thought that Wiggington kept his job because he was sleeping with Diedra, Gathers, or Hale.
I agree, what Mr. Harris did for Anna was wonderful, certainly something Wiggington has never done for any employee.
Joseph sent out another of his stupid emails (the man doesn't know how to write in English). He says that in May we were a few thousand dollars short of our goal for the entire CU but that management was concerned. If we missed it by only a few thousand then why are they concerned? Why doesn't Wigg, Joseph, Yvonne and Cindy hit the pavement? He then says we need to get our strategies together and present them to him. Do you know how much time he wastes getting us to put our strategies in writing then taking valuable time, to meet with him and show him how we intend to get the business. I'd like him to show us how we are supposed to get the business. There is a reason Redlands failed when he was the branch manager. Same reason the call center failed when he was supervisor and same reason why they tool real estate loans away from him. Also same reason why consumer loans went down when he was loan manager. Worse yet, idiot Wiggington promotes Joseph's useless Ricky Ricardo ass. Yeah, we Latinos don't like him either.
You know I forgot about the $60,000Jenise Martin stole from the LA office. Thats just like Wiggington. Georgina and Gema committed fraud when they had people clock them in and Jenise could make off with $10,000, but someone who bounces one check or says they don't like Wiggington gets fired.
I meant, Jenise made off with $60,000.00. I hope she enjoyed it.
Nylonda knows the credit union published her personal information in the comments area of this blog. Wonder if that is going to turn into another lawsuit?
How do you know she knows? If that's true she could file a complaint with the DFI and maybe the U.S. Business Bureau and the state attorney's office.
Whoever posted that Priority MC is Yvonne is wrong. Wigg does tell her almost everything about every lawsuit but the person that wrote David's lawsuit was crushed was Rodger Smock. He sometimes says, "Think, think" and when he doesn't want people to know something is from him he misspells words like "frivolous. Remember, Rodger is an idiot and a liar and has never done anything good for anyone. Its all about him. He loves money more than he could ever care for anyone, even though his ugly little boyfriend has been helping his "daddy" out at the credit union. This man is a moron. How he got to HR is a mystery because he's got to be one of the stupidest people to ever live.
Smock? LOL. She's is one old stupid queen. Years of failures and all she can do is cut coupons, hide in her office, walk around like she's got a broom up her butt, and maybe posting comments hiding behind the name Priority MC. Retire the old tramp.
I've worked in some bad managed companies, but this place sounds horrible. Good luck to the employees, because unless that President is kicked to the curb, its downhill all the way.
Big Fott is stressed. She really doesn't know what she's doing in member services and she's just nasty with the tellers. She doesn't really like Virginia Contreras but she needs to keep her to help her do the work. Cindy thinks everyone is out to get her so she spies on everyone and is making everyone miserable. I wish she'd go back home to the alley. Wiggington has to deal with his ball cancer, so he keeps a low profile. Miss Smock is hiding in his office, but he's still a fat snake with no morals. No one likes Joseph who is out to make a name for himself. Guess he wanted to be called Bitch.
Joseph is an idiot. I wouldn't buy a taco from homie. He is driving people crazy and is so confrontational it is harassment. There is nothing more dangerous than giving an idiot like Joseph, authority.

Yes, get the name right. Now how about answering the question GET YOUR NAMES RIGHT. AGAIN, WHY DIDN'T PRIORITY ONE IGNORANT BOARD AND PRESIDENT, PROSECUTIE??????
AGAIN, WHY DIDN'T PRIORITY ONE IGNORANT BOARD AND PRESIDENT, PROSECUTIE??????
One more time? AGAIN, WHY DIDN'T PRIORITY ONE IGNORANT BOARD AND PRESIDENT, PROSECUTIE??????
LOL.
I'd still like to know why Wigg is still Prsident after causing losses, sexually harassing an employee, making false accusations against employees, taking illegal possession of a member's, car.....
Let's get serious here, can anyone offer one single reason besides pointing to the ghetto board, as to why he never got fired. Is he having an affair with Diedra? I can't be because he's good looking or super intelligent. Just the opposite, he's butt ugly and if you talk to him, the only topic he likes to discuss is his boring self.
Prosecutie? The Board didn't give the okay to prosecute JENEE MARTIN? Over the years, P1 has fired people for some stupid, non-criminal issues and they've reported others to CUNA for lesser violations.
They fired a lot of people for breaking policy, even though Charles Wiggington broke policy and federal law when he decided to sexually harass. He should have been fired, tried in a court of law, and forced to pay out of his pocket instead of forcing P1 to pay out of their money.
Those kickbacks he used to get from Justice may or may not be illegal under law, but they are a violation of credit union policy and are unethical.
And though Mr Lee could be a fair guy, he made a big mistake when he used to run collections, and faked those papers which let Charles take Mr Wafa's car. He should never have done that but he paid for it in 2008, when his "buddy" Charles didn't renew Mr Lee's contract and instead hired everybody's worst nightmare, two-faced, back-stabbing, micromanager, Yvonne Boutte.
p.s. Yvonne Boutte was the collections manager until February, when she was made manager over member services and the tellers. She still continues to stick her nose in everything. She's really a jack of all trades and a master of none.
Joseph said we should come prepared to do whatever it takes to get the job done in June. Has he ever heard of people going postal? This stupid ass doesn't do shit except look at numbers and treat people worse than animals. We are all sick of him. Even his accent is starting to bug us. Like you can even understand half of what he says, "We need da beesness. Yu peepl betur git it. Unerstan?" No, we don't understand!!!!. Buy Rosetta Stone for English, Chewie.

REALLY? I don't know anyone that was fired or 'laid' off because of breaking policy, do you?
Well anonymous, you must be stupid. Before firing each, Wigg and Bea said that Dane, Marc, Theresa, Kim H, Kim B, David, & Whit were all leaking confidential information. If you're an employee, wake up and if you're Rodger Smock, shut the f*ck up you fat useless queen.
What do you mean you don't know of anyone who was fired for breaking policy? At P1, Wigglenutless used to open his BIG mouth and share who he was going to fire and why. Its no secret and its known throughout South Pasadena. Wiggington can't keep his pie hole shut. That's why he's in so much trouble, because he opens his big mouth, says in front of people. He is his own worst enemy. He is the one that creates witnesses that can testify against him. I'm surprised by anyone who doesn't know or worse yet, who denies it doesn't happens. Wigg is a bitch, plain and simple and he's Diedra's bitch.

Read the blog from beginning to end. Unless you're a board member, then I wouldn't expect you to read. You can go and lay back down on your sofa that's probably lying in your front yard.
The board is ultimately responsible for everything Wiggington did that was illegal but its the members who voted them in or who let them be re-elected because most members are apathetic and the only thing they care about is their accounts. A lot of members have problems on ChexSystems and a lot have bad credit so they don't say anything because they think they can't get an account anywhere else. All their problems kind of put a big hole in Wiggington's claim Priority One is a fitness center that helps members/employees win with money. That's a load of shit and he knows it.
You're right, a lot of members have said they don't like having accounts at the credit union but they have bad credit and are on ChexSystems. Since they got their accounts before their credit got bad, most of them keep Priority accounts to cash checks.
Bares repeating...
"WOW... I could just CRY because Mr. William Harris worked so hard to make that credit union the "PEOPLES" Credit Union!!! Everyone loved that credit union once upon a time ago.Mr. Harris was SO good to the employees especially one employee who really OWES HER LIVE TO MR. HARRIS AND THAT WAS...ANA CERVANTES!! AND TO THOSE WHO DONT KNOW I WILL TELL YOU THE STORY...AT THE TIME ANA CERVANTES WAS THE ASST. MANAGER AT THE VALENCIA OFFICE, WELL ANA HAD GIVE THE CREDIT UNION NOTICE TO PURSUE HER NEW CAREER IN REAL ESTATE, WELL THE DAY ANA'S HEALTH INSURANCE EXPIRED THAT NIGHT ANA WENT TO HAPPY HOUR AFTER WORK AND GOT SO DRUNK OUT OF HER MIND THAT SHE HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT DRIVING THE 210 FWY HOME (i believe it was the 210)SHE WAS DRIVING WAY OVER SPEED LIMIT AND THE FWY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SHE WAS NOT WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND WAS EJECT FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT, TOSSED OUT OF THE CAR AND PINNED BETWEEN HER BRAND NEW DENALI AND THE CENTER OF THE 210 FWY, SHE WAS IN A COMA FOR DAYS AND LOSE A PORTION OF HER ARM...NEEDLESS TO SAY, ONCE THE CREDIT UNION GOT WORD OF WHAT HAPPEN TO ANA...MR. WILLIAM HARRIS RAN TO SMOCK'S OFFICE AND HAD SMOCK HAVE ANA'S HEALTH INSURANCE REINSTATED!!!!!...NOW WHAT KIND OF EMPLOYER WILL DO THAT FOR YOU?
CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE WHAT HER MEDICAL EXPENSES LOOKED LIKE?!?!
...YES and it came down to all of this BULLSHIT???....Way to FUCKIN GO WIGGINGTON!!!....AND LETS NOT FORGET THE STUPID ASS BOARD ALL THEY WORRY ABOUT IS GETTING PAID FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
AND NOW THE CREDIT UNION HAS A 4TH LAW SUIT WITH STATE FARM INSURANCE?!?!....ITS A WRAP FOR P1 CREDIT UNION!!!"
I will add the Directors like Wigg, are obsessed with title. I know first hand they love telling people they are a Director on a CU board, even though they don't do a damn thing. Like Wigg said 2008"They're not that smart and they don't understand financials." The only truthful thing that idiot ever said. What they like is the title of Director. Can you imagine any of these losers being PAID board members at Chase, B of A, or CITI bank?
Well wasn't Cindy hired as Director of the Loan Department and 4 months later promoted to Chief Loan Officer. Same with Yvonne. She was Credit Resolutions Manager, Director of Project Management and some other title. Joseph's been Call Center supervisor, Credit Manager, Real Estate and Consumer Loan Manager, Consumer Loan Manager/Member Services Manager and back to Loan Manager and now AVP of Sales?
At P1 the caliber of managers is seen by how much importance they put on their own titles. With some its a lack of education but with others its a reflection of their character. When I worked there, Sylvia Perez's recorded message on her cellular voicemail was "This is Sylvia Perez, AVP of Region 3 at Priority One." It was annoying and arrogant. Once you know her you realize she is ignorant and she admits she comes from the barrio. Apparantly she never left it.
At P1 they slap titles on the worst people the way you'd give a dog a treat. There is almost no upward mobility and competence and hard work are never rewarded. However, if you kiss ass, you'll probably get job security and a stupid title, just don't expect a raise. When Wigg gives you a title its to control you and to get your loyalty. He really believes that if he tells you "good job" or "I want you to do this form me" that you'll be grateful. I remember him asking for favors and then telling employees, "I'll buy you a coffee", "I'll buy you a hamburger", "we'll do lunch." First, no one except Rodger wants to have lunch with him. He talks with his mouth full of food and smells. I remember seeing food flying out of his mouth, like it was trying to escape. He thinks everyone is as ghetto as him and can be bought with some stupid offer to buy you something (which he never does). Obviously, he doesn't know that employees aren't his dogs or impressed by him. He's repulsive.

Hey Ass-Wipe I have been here from the begginning and I have never read where John has said where his info comes from. Maybe you should read it from the start again and let us in on where John's getting his info from. If Wiggs wants to know where most of the info that is written here he should look in the mirror, yuk.
I so agree. You want to stop the leaks, sew Wiggington's big mouth up. It'll stop the leaks and his bad breath.
Cindy and Missy Rodger sent out a memo asking for cell phones to be turned in because they're trying to cut costs. I thought Wigg said we had TOO much capital and business was good? Could he have been lying- again?
I wouldn't be surprised if Cindy and Rodger send out another memo telling us we have to buy our own toilet paper. They got rid of paper cups because they couldn't afford them and now cell phones. Its not like every employee has a cell phone, just management and and the field reps. Better get down to Costco and buy the big bulk packages of Charmin.
TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHOSE CELL PHONES GOT TAKEN AWAY....
DON'T USE YOUR PERSONAL CELL PHONES TO DO BUSINESS FOR THE CREDIT UNION. IF THEY CALL YOU TO GIVE YOU ASSIGNMENTS OR CHECK WHERE YOU'RE AT OR WHAT YOU'RE DOING EITHER DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE OR TELL THEM THEY ARE USING YOUR MINUTES WHICH IS COSTING YOU MONEY. THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THEY'RE NOT REIMBURSING EMPLOYEES WHO USE THEIR CELL PHONES FOR BUSINESS!
They might as well start selling off the desks, since hardly anyone visits South Pasadena anymore. Maybe they can start a side business, like selling tacos in the parking lot or offering to wash member's cars for $5.

And watch the targets go on their backs, wiggs new shooting gallery.
Their desks are OLD and outdated. who will buy such?
Nothing there has value not even the phones? or maybe the phones by itself.
When they remodeled the main branch they left the same old scratched up, marked up ugly desks. Have you seen their file cabinets? Ever looked at the chairs and tables in the "executive" wing? Or the furniture in member services? I don't think Goodwill would take their junk furniture.

Burbank was as bad as South Pasadena. Los Angeles is fine and so is Van Nuys and Santa Clarita. Airport is a closet. Wiggington designed the floor plan. Its as fucked up as his house.
Thanks John. The comparisons you made between what Wigg and the board say in the annual report and what you got from the ncua proves their not in good shape, though I I guess with everything collapsing around them, lying is all they can resort to. Their words don't jive with the financials. I given about a year if that.

John is a hero for opening up everyone's eyes, if it wasn't for John can you imagine the crap management would be trying to pull? Or have us thinking the failure of P1 is our fault. Thank you again John.
Well more proof P1 is going down faster than you can say "Wigg is an IDIOT!"
They fired Gerardo Vasquez, the manager at Airport. Unbelievable. To quote Yvon and Miss Smock, "Think people, think....", P1 is done with. Wigg was saying business is so bad he doesn't see how the credit union can survive. This is coming from the guy who turned a prize winning credit union into a toilet. He's ruined the credit union and destroyed employee finances. He's lied to employees and members with the help of that bitch Smock and the other bitch, Diedra Harris whatever her last name is, they've destroyed what people worked so hard to build. It will come back to all of them because that's just the way the rules work. Screw people over and get screwed back. I wish Gerardo the best but expect more terminations.
Wait a minute, they fired G but they kept Wiggington, Joseph, Smock, Yvonne and Sylvia? Something stinks and I aint' talkin about Wigg's breath? I'd suggest if anybody is thinking about suing, do it now and name Wiggington and you can name members on the board. The laws allows it even though the stupid, ignorant ghetto board doesn't want anyone to know. Can't imagine what you can get from Hale, Gathers, or O.Saffold, they're just too g-h-e-t-t-o!!!!!
If they fired G from airport there goes another branch.I bet Lynnette had something to do with him getting fired she's a backstabbing bitch!!.
Doesn't that leave only 2 employees at Airport. They only pay a $1.00 to rent Airport because it belongs to the USPS. Even just paying $1.00 they had to fire Gerardo? Wigg, you are the biggest, most stupid loser on the planet.
They also fired Judith Barajas in Santa Clarita. Two weeks ago, I heard that Santa Clarita was too small to have Judith, Adrianna, and Sylvia, who was transferred there this week and that he was going have to let someone go to justify 3 people for that tiny office. Plus SC isn't making any business (big surprise there). So they fired Judith saying she couldn't meet her goals but they kept Sylvia who is not making her goals either but she's Wiggington's friend.
They also fired Cynthia Diazvicarte. She's probably glad because she used to like Joseph Garcia but after working with things found him annoying (as do we all).
Dana Gilliam got laid-off and not Judith Barajas. These two helped Bea Walker make a living hell out of their ex-supervisor's (Suzan) life. Bea is gone, Dana is gone and now Judith is gone. Guess what goes around comes around. Now let's all get our popcorn and take a seat and wait to see what happens to Wiggington.
They got rid of most of the Burbank staff and now three more employees. They took back all company cell phones. Member service complaints are up and now they have a lot less peoiple to help members. Guess Wigg, Diedra, Mr Harchica, and Cornelia Simmons lied outright on the Annual Report. What was that bullshit award ceremony about? I give Diedra Harris-Brooks and that moneky look-alike, Cornelia, the Moron of the Year award.
Los Angeles is the only branch that really makes money. They need to shut down South Pasadena and tar and feather, Wiggington and send him back to Indiana.
Well the word on the streets is that Wiggington is planning on lets say an EARLY RETIREMENT!!! Once again we see Wiggs running from his fuck ups!!!!
....In other words once P1 starts to sink faster than the Titanic and I guess when DFI FINALLY take over P1 I'm sure Deirdra and her flying monkeys will be willing to grant Wiggington a nice retirement package//smh....CAN YOU SAY BAIL OUT!!
I can believe that Wiggy or stupid as he's more commonly known, would try to bail after destroying P1. The man's always been a coward. If you worked with him for anytime, you probably saw him at least once, hide from irate members coming to the main branch.
Too bad there isn't a way of taking away his 401K and whatever perks he's going to get when he retires. He may never be able to work at a CU or bank again, because he's famous (just what he always wanted) but he'll get a nice retirement check each and every month. How long wll he get it? Depends on his ball cancer. At least if the DFI were to come in, they would immediately fire Wigg, Smock, Saed, Yvonne, and Cindy. They don't mess around, they get rid of the cause the day they show up at the company. And the board, they will finally be a thing of the past, because the dfi has the authority to boot them out too.

Wigg pronounces "Indiana", Annapolis which is in Maryland. I bet he doesn't even know its a states. He's a tard. Describing the board as flying monkeys is perfect, except the monkeys actually did what they were supposed to. Guess that witch was smarter than P1's witch.
And why did they fire Cythnthia and Judith for not making their numbers and keep Sylvia is not making her numbers? Isn't that discrimination?
describing the board as monkeys is giving them too much credit. the board is insane. they do the same thing over and over again and expect different results each time. at least monkeys learn from their mistakes.
That is the definition of insanity. In addition to repeating the same mistakes over and over while trying to get the same result, I'd like to add that Any person or persons who always have to hide the truth, are also insane. The behavior is not consistent with how disciplined and ethical people act.
Usually when they fire soo many people, they bring in another one of "Cindy's People". Like a 5k salary marketing pro that creates the same skip-a-pay flier that they had Louis and Johnny competing to make when Bea wanted to cut costs.
5k? You mean 50k? Or 5k/month? Regardless that's a crazy amount. You make a good point either way
Yes 5k a month. To do something that looks as shitty as the call center flyer did.
p1 does not have any marketing. they have advertising. there is a BIG difference between the two. what p1 needs is a marketing reseach expert. they study the market to see where and how they should advertise their products and who to advertise them to. that b.s. skip-a-pay crap is not marketing. if it goes out to every single member in the cu then its advertising, aka junk mail. but wigg, smock, yvonne, cindy, joseph or any other "manager/avp" will never understand that. thats the big problem with the old farts at p1, they think they know what to do but in reality they are nothing but uneducated idiots!
That skip-a-pay flier was originally created by David not a marketing specialist and I know they didn't pay him a penny more than his regular hourly pay.
I hope Cindy the Ewok told her "friends" that P1 is fading away and that the job might not last. $5 thousand a month is ridiculou. Notice how management is plundering what's left of P1?
P1's marketing, I mean advertising has sucked just like Wigg, Smock, Bea, etc. Its crappy, sub-standard and notice that the industry never recognizes it or award it like they used before 2007?
P1 used to have a marketing expert but they fired her in 2008. They then got Marc who had an actual education in marketing research but Bea forgot to take her lithium and she started to hallucinate that he was the blogger. Her suspicions got fed by Smock and Wigg, the sexual harasser, went along with it.
You are absolutely right- "they are all uneducated idiots" or embeciles.
Joseph said Sylvia didn't make her numbers again, but Wigg cut in and didn't let her get fired with the others. Must be nice to have low friends in high places.
If you guys don't see the trend going on, its this: fire employes
Hire cindys friends
Pay them a shit load
Let them know the enormous pay will last until the proper authorities step in to fix the credit union
Squash any complainers asap so they can enjoy big bucks at the expense of everyone else
Let me know if I missed anything.
Is Cindy a short, fat version of Bea Walker? Yikes. She has yet to do anything to bring in new business but she is getting her unemployed friends jobs. Has anyone checked the financials for Clearpath FCU where she worked just before coming over to P1? They ended 2 years in a row in the red. She was supposedly a wizard with loan development but I think she lied on her resume and stupid, ignorant, dumb ass Wigg believed her.
You can kiss this CU good-bye. The service is horrible, so stupid Wiggington, Cindy, Joseph and Yvonne get rid of even more staff. I don't know what qualifications they have, as they're all f*cking up P1. This is a loser company run by losers.
Wigg's ball cancer is just like him. Its not doing its job either.
Wigg's ball cancer is just like him. Its not doing its job either.
What is exactly that Cindy does besides looking for employees who she suspects are talking about the horrible credit union?
Cindy doesn't do squat. She sits on her ass, tells people they need to work, writes up the people she's jealous of or targeting to get out, sneaks around with Yvonne, gossips, and brings her unemployed friends in. Since everyone has goals (except management) why didn't they give goals to her 2 friends they hired for consumer loans and why do her friends get to work from home unlike everyone else?
You guys are right, what does Joseph do? I don't think he knows anything about sales and he has never gone out and funded $150,000 in new loans in one month like other employees. I bet he hasn't funded $30,000 in new loans. He is another sack of crap like wiggington.
Her friends get to work at home because at P1 bending the rules for employees and managers is just business as usual. Was Wigg ever taken to court or fired for sexual harassment?
Is it true Esmeralda left on maternity leave today? One less idiot at the old credit union.
Does anyone know why Smock was at the CU before 7 a.m. today? Somethings up because Wigg looked shittier than ever and Yvonne looked uglier than ever. I think she's certifiable. She acts so neurotic. She used to say Saundra Whitt was negative for the environment but Yvonne is way worse than anyone. I think she needs to be tranqualized and put back in the wild along with Cindy who is a really short, fat version of Bea Walker.
The DFI can't take over P1 because their capital is high even though their sales are low. Closing Burbank and firing staff helped. But you can see just how stupid Wigg and the board are but the way they plan out hiring. They hired two people for collections, one of who is Alex's friends and who is being shown preferential treatment. Are they creating another opportunity for complaints? Of course they are. They hird Cindy's friend to do marketing but his first project is a really bad flyer which is advertisoing not marketing. They hired to people for consumer loans, both friends of Cindy, both working from home. One audits consumer loans. They had and have a consumer loan officer though she works the call center. Why not save money and transfer her back rather than adding a new salary? Notice, none of these people actually go into the field to do sales. Wigg doesn't get it. Plus he hired Cindy who came from a credit union that ended the last few years in the negative. He put Joseph over sales but Joseph was the worst Loan Manager for 2 years and when he was over loans, production actually dropped. Now the board has sat back along with the supervisory committee and members SHOULD HAVE sent petitions and letters to the DFI demanding they get fired. It really shows the extent of how people don't care about P1's future or how their employees are treated. At this point she's headed down the toilet and if that happens, Wigg can retire with a nice fat undeserved pension.
The board and supervisory committee should all get the boot. The committee is supposed to ensure the credit union is running well and compliant to standards and the board is supposed to make sure internal operations are running up to standard and that the president is carrying out his job. Obviously none of them are doing shit. The place is a mess. Don't let that lying sack of crap Wigg try to fool you, because business sucks and he's nervous. Guess more and more people see thru his lies.
We had more than 150 accounts close in Burbank alone. How are we supposed to make up the losses? Wiggs new marking guy has produced a high school level flyer and Cindy and Yvonne are more interested in whose saying things about them then getting new business. The place is a mess!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! (except Wigg)
The cu gets rid of all company cell phones but some employees, let managers call them on their personal cell phones. This tells you how stupid and desperate some employees really are. They go ahead and let the credit union use their cell phones instead of providing them to employees who need the for their positions. All they do is perpetuate bad management behaviors.
Sounds like Wigg and sounds like the scared employees.
You are right, they aren't focusing. They want new business but they don't know how to get it. And even though they settled the 2 lawsuits, they still have that suit from Farmer's plus they must have other legal problems because management is stressed and paranoid.
Why is it you call the loan department an no one answers the phones? I've called and called and even called the supervisor's extension (1024) and no one answers. Used to be you had to pick up on the 1st ring.
Does anybody know how many employees are out because of stress? I heard Jennifer Kelly, Martha, Lorena, Jenise, but does anybody know how many others? If this isn't a sign that something bad is going on then management is way dumber than anyone thinks.
That's all I know of.
The reason the loan department doesn't answer phones is because they are so busy trying to call members and get new business and calling those that have been approved to come down to the credit union and fund loans. If you work in the department, the phones ring and ring until callers hang up. Its HORRIBLE service. Plus the call center staff is so stressed and try to get people off the phone as quickly as they can. You can thank Wiggington, Garvin and Garcia. They made it this way.
John, you were asking about what happened to the case involving the $60,000 stolen from the Los Angeles branch. We were told to keep it quiet because they did take Janee to court but the judge was kind of lenient on her and she didn't do any jail time. That was another big loss for the CU because the insurance had to pay that claim off too.
Today we're working til 7 pm, calling members to see if they're interested in getting loans. I heard we've been failing and a lot of members are not interested in anything we offer, plus some say this isn't the time to get in debt. Does Wiggington undrstand this at all?
Well not only are we not getting the amount of members we need when we stay late to call them, but Santa Clarita is doing terrible. Wigg had that new office opened and said it would be a big success but what he forgot to do is tell the community which means attending chamber events and letting them know the cu exists. This credit union is done for, plain and simple.
cold calling members? the cu must really be doing bad. nigg i mean wigg doesnt know that there is something called the internet that the cu can use to drive in new business to the community branches.
Wigg used to say Mr Harris was jealous of him because he had knew he wanted to push the cu into the 21st century. 1960 is not the 21st century, Wigglenuts!
Wigg is nuts. Seriously. The man has nothing anyone is jealous of, not even his position. What did he think Mr Harris was jealous of, his bad breath, ebonics, big mouth or one of his many old beat-up junkers, I mean BMW's? Wigg has to brag and when he messes up, he blames everyone around him. If he wants to blame anyone, he ought stand in front of a mirror. He's stuck in the 1970's. He thinks what worked then in business workes now. Does anybody remember those stupid badges he made employees wear? That was probably the highpoint of his lowlife career.
So where was Yvonne today? Yesterday, she spent most of the day gossiping with Alex. Did Alex finsih collecting all delinquent money due P1? These women have so much time to gossip yet complain that their stressed and over-worked. No, your staffs are over-worked, you're just lying.
I think they're in trouble again. Yesterday, I saw them whispering about something and Yvonne looked stressed. Alex seemed okay, so it must be something thats effecting Yvonne directly. If its bad and its about her then good because that woman is an evil bitch.
They're always whispering. Its so childish. And they're always in trouble because they think rules are made to be broken. I know that Wigg is worried and he should be and maybe he should retire because he's the worst thing to hit the industry.
Yvonne is stressed..... all the time. Plus she's stressing anyone that comes in contact with her. I know she's been riding her staff that doesn't make goals plus she is horrible with the tellers, all who work more than she ever does.
Ya, Yvonne is so stressed she has time to go and gossip with Alex every day (except when she's not at work). Please, the bitch is probably stressed because she knows that people don't respect her ugly seven foot ass.
Management at P1 are a joke!
The reason Yvon is worried is because she did something that has Deidra calling the main branch and telling Wigg, that Yvonne is in trouble and so if its Yvon or Alex, I hope that they get fired .
Wigg called them both in a meeting after Diedra got a call from an irate member complaining that someone in management- probably Yvonne, Alex, Wigg or Smock, revealed confidential information about the member. Wigg was worried and so was Yvonne. This is the time, they all get together with Diedra to make up some lie and try to cover up what they did, just like when Wigg got accused of sexual harassment, when he messed the ballot mailings, and when he took that poor members car. They oughtta rename the place, Scavenger CU.
Here's the solution- fire Diedra. Fire Wigg. Fire Yvonne. Fire Alex. Fire Rodger.
Oh no. Wigg and his losers would never violate confidentiality. You must have them confused with someone else. LOL.
Just fire Diedra. The ignorant board will collapse and Miss Wigg won't know what to do without her protector.
Just so you guys know, Jenee did go to court and she admitted she stole the $60,000 but the judge was lenient and gave her probabation. Lot a lessons here.
If you steal money from a credit union you probably will be caught and sent to court and maybe do jail time.
If you steal money from Priority One, there is a 50/50 chance they won't prosecute but if they do its probably because they got exposed on the blog.
If you steal money from P1, you might not get jail time and might not have to return the money you stole.
Last lesson, stealing from P1 is nothing new. So Jenee stole $60,000that the insurance paid for. Wigg stole a member's car and got kick-backs for years from Justice Auto. Yes Wigg, we knew what you were doing at the time. Henry's people talked as much as you do.
Wigg set the tone for P1 so if he's dishonest, a sexual harasser and a liar, then what kind of credit union do you expect?
So did she get away with the money? Usually, I would say that's horrible but a pig like Wigg and a four eye freak like Diedra, don't deserve any better.
I wonder how many claims have they filed with their insurance company while Wiggs been president?
Theres probably a lot we don't know about that Wigg has done. The guy is dirty.
Today was the Board of Directors monthly meeting. Diedra looked miserable and I heard one of the directors say they need to make some changes (like fire the board). Also, where's Wigg and Yvonne? Are they in trouble again?
Sit tight cause Wigg and Smock said more changes are coming next month!
Where's Irma? Did she quit or get fired? I don't even see her name in the phone directory.
The biggest change they're making is moving Cindy Garvin to Smock's office and I think Smock is moving to Bea's old office. We're not only not making business, we're losing business but the biggest thing management is doing is moving to new offices.
And where's Yvonne and why did Alex leave early? Wigg wasn't there either. Did they all get in trouble for talking about confidential info?
So is Irma gone?
Not sure about Irma, but Sylvia is on a STRESS leave as of Monday. I wonder who is managing Santa Clarita Branch. Is Sylvia Perez afraid they are going to lay her off? EVERYONE DOES THE SAME THING over and over. How many people have gone in to a leave of absence for the past year? That says a lot about Priority One.
Sylvia got written up 2 times and she didn't meet her goals again. Like you said, EVERYONE DOES THE SAME THING over and over. I'm a little surprised since she was such a hard ass about people meeting their goals. Guess she never thought she'd get written up.
Sylvia's had YEARS of supposed business development experience. For years she bragged about all the new business she got, by Sylvia could never get new business from educated big money people. She also scared away a lot of business and she made a mess of the credit union's relationship with the community at Burbank. Look at business while she was at Burbank. Business actually declined. That's a big reason why the closed the branch and why more people lost their jobs.
Irma was put on suspension for saying something about Wigg. While she was out, she went on medical leave (like so many others). They don't know when she's coming back but Wigg had her voicemail removed and her call id erased from the company phone directory which makes you think she's not coming back.
Sylvia didn't make her numbers again and so she went out on medical. For years she had so many people written and fired for not making their goals and she lied and would say she was bringing in so much new business. Now that everyone has to turn in reports, all of a sudden she can't bring in new business.
Cindy Garvin is focusing more on stopping people from talking and gossiping while she and Yvonne until recently, were meeting in alleys to gossip. Once that came out on the blog, they stopped.
You can see this credit union going downhill fast I mean faster.
Cindy Garvin is so great her ex-employer ended in the negative. Womnder if she looked for a new job because many her days were numbered at Clearpath? You can thank Wigg for hiring her.
I knew Irma got suspended but I didn't know she followed up with a medical leave. Wigg was saying she said something about his illness. I'm not sure that's true because last year he told all the avp's that he had "ball cancer". Guess he doesn't know it could be prostate or testicular but not "ball cancer" unless you're a ghetto baby.
I think that's just an excuse stupid Wigg is using. I think they accused her of disclosing confidential information which doesn't make sense, because Wigg breaks confidentiality 24/7.
The board seemed to be in a great deal of stress. After the meeting was over Deidra was walking around all upset! Isn’t David's case settled already? Or is it because too many people have gone in to a leave of absence? Or Joseph the VP is not bringing new business? They might have to call Judith back to manage the branch of Santa Clarita until Sylvia comes back. What a unique place to work...I’ll tell you.
I think Wigg and DIEDRA have ruined the CU with the help of an uneducated board made up of ignorant directors. I think this company more problems than anyone can guess and I wouldn't be surprised if they get sued again! You can tell somethings up because useless Yvonne and even more useless Alex and Cindy Garvin are no longer talking in front of staff about confidential information, but are going to the lounge room and leaving for 2 to 4 lunches.
Joseph isn't bringing in new business and threatening employees with warnings and terminations isn't cutting it. He knows it, because Wigg spoke to him recently about his failure. Joseph is a schmoozer, and he talked Wigg into making him AVP so he could prove he could bring in the business. Have you read his stupid emails to employees everytime he reminds them they are going to one of his boring, useless monthly meetings? Just embarrassing.

Diedra looks unhappy, Yvonne, Alex and Cindy are sneaking about and warning employees not to gossip, Smock is hiding, and employees look miserable. That's just another day at P1.
look at the big ASS pot calling the big ASS skillet BLACK how dare those UNEDUCATED LOSERS LIKE JOSEPH YVONNE ALEX & CINDY GO AROUND TELLING EVERYONE NOT TO GOSSIP ABOUT THIS CREDIT UNION ....HELL WIGGINGTON Does A GOOD JOB ON HIS OWN GOSSIPING....EVERYONE ABOVE HOURLY EMPLOYEES NEED TO TELL THEMSELVES TO STOP THE GOSSIP AND BULLSHIT!!
IS IT TRUE THAT ESMERELDA IS PREGGO AGAIN!!!....NO WONDER HER KIDS FATHER HASN'T MARRIED HER!!....WHY BUY THE FAT ASS COW WHEN HE'S GETTING THE MILK FOR FREE!!!.....DUMB BITCH!!!
They can't stop gossiping or being hypocrites. Up til last week, Alex and Big Foot would stand in member services and back offices talking out loud about employees and even Wigg. Yvon has told her people that if Wigg starts talking to her, that they butt in and tell her she's got an important call. Alex who has to be the biggest bitch and idiot to hit any business, has said she listens to employees calls to see if they're saying anything bad about the company. Are these things these two morons should be sharing? And Joseph is another girl, who talks to much along with that dwarf, Cindy, who is a huge mess. And Wigg, well you can't make him act like an adult or executive. He's just what he is, a hypocrite who fires people for the same things he does.
Yes, Esme is pregnant. For employees, her maternity leave is a good thing. She's useless and an awful backstabber but she is protected from the useless old goat, Rodger.
The working conditions are horrible. Employees are nervous and scared but people like Gema, can piddle around the branch, nebver go out to get new business, get a big salary for doing clerk work. Same for Joseph who knows he's a big idiot. You never see him leaving the office to go out into the field by himself. Plus he says when its hot he'd rather stay in the office. Before he fired Cynthia, she got fed up with him leaching rides from her. The credit union is smaller with less people, how does this idiot not understand that he needs to do his part (like Yvon says to all employees) and go out in his car to communities. The reason is he couldn't get new business if he paid members to fill out applications.
What does Wiggington do anyway? I know that Yvonne and Cindy now take some of his work because he aays too sick to do it but he's not to sick to go to lunch or talk on the phone, gossip, and show up at the credit union. I don't know why they haven't retired him, after all, shouldn't he be at home resting and getting better and maybe resting his BIG mouth?
Nothing- he does nothing.
