SHE'S BACK BUT NOT
ON HER OWN VOLITION
Following her undignified ouster from Priority One Credit Union on July 8, 2011, former COO, Beatrice Walker has returned though in the capacity of defendant in the lawsuit filed by the former Valencia Branch Manager. The lawsuit also names President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. and the organization as defendants and accuses each of egregious violations of state and federal laws.
Ironically, the credit union that terminated Ms. Walker must now rely in part, upon her testimony in an effort to raise a defense that supports the President's chronic contentions that he never violated any laws. We beg to differ.
Because the allegations leveled against Ms. Walker while she served as COO of the credit union, Priority One will have to pay for her defense. One would have thought that the days which she abused spending ended when she was fired. Apparently not.
Ms. Walker may have arrived quietly at the South Pasadena branch on June 1, 2009, but over the next 25 months which transpired, she would create havoc, perpetrate abuses and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on wasted efforts to allegedly attract new business. Inarguably, she and the President are cut from the same piece of mud.
PROCLIVITIES
Beatrice Walker, like President Wiggington, shared the same predilection for divulging confidential information about employees, about her plots, and about her aspirations to one day become President and CEO of Priority One Credit Union.
The hiring of Ms. Walker was completely orchestrated by President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr., who at the time was both her friend and a long time associate of hers. The decision to hire Ms. Walker was authorized by Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks. There were three reasons for hiring Ms. Walker. These were:
- The President insisted he needed someone to assist him who could process the projects he was too busy to attend to.
- He needed someone who was a marketing and business development expert who would help resolving the issues which were impeding the credit union from attracting sufficient levels of new business.
- He required someone who would help drive out his enemies.
In business, Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. is both inept and slovenly. From the day he began his appointment to President, he chose to "play" instead of work. For example, in January 2007, he implemented the expensive and unnecessary sector of AVP's. At the time, he said, "They're going to be responsible for bringing in the business and all I have to do is sit back and watch." He sat back but they all failed to bring in the business because none possessed the ability to do so.
He hired Beatrice Walker because he really believed she possessed the competency to create new business but time proved that she was as inept and limited in her understanding of marketing and business development as he was.
Ms. Walker proved quite pliable in the hands of the President and shortly after her arrival, began implementing scathing efforts to trap, persecute and oust employees the President identified as his enemy.
The fact that she's been subpoenaed to again provide testimony, can be attributed in great part to the President and Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks. After all, it was the President who provided her with a mandate to go after his imagined enemies. The two broke state and federal laws to carryout their scurrilous campaigns and found solace in the fact that Senior Vice President, Rodger Smock, who is also Director of Human Resources, would ensure the department did not interrupt their often illegal plots.
Ms. Waker and President Wiggington are Defendants in the lawsuit filed by the last Valencia Branch Manager. They actually have little choice but to support one another and provide whatever testimony is necessary to extricate them from the legal predicament they created. At time of Ms. Walker's termination, their alleged friendship had ended, with Ms. Walker becoming an avid and vocal critic of both the President and the entire Board of Directors.
THE ROAD TO HELL
IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTS
During her approximate two-year stay, Ms. Walker introduced products and services which she claimed would serve to create new sources of income for the struggling credit union. Though she spent tens of thousands of dollars in "developing" new products and services, almost all failed to attain the level of success she promised would be achieved.
Ms. Walker's products and services were not so much her creation but entirely plagiarized. During her first three-months of employment, she would call associates in the industry asking for suggestions which she could introduce as her ideas. One of the first products she said she created which cost the credit union $30,000 to develop, was "Skip-a-Pay." The product received a lukewarm response from members and clearly, was not deemed a success.
Another of her creations was Priority Pay, the credit union's version of a pay-day styled loan like those obtained from store front vendors. The reasoning behind Priority Pay is that it allows a person to borrow up to $700 without being victimized financially by the exorbitant charges and fees levied by predatory lenders. Unfortunately, the terms of the loan were not quite as wonderful as described by Ms. Walker and the actual loan was being provided by a third-party lender who was not the credit union. Members rejected the offer, making this one of Ms. Walker's first failures.
She also introduced Courtesy Pay, the credit union's overdraft protection program. Under the law, the credit union had to ask members if they wished to enroll in Courtesy Pay but Ms. Walker stated that this was too tedious a process and ordered that all member accounts be coded for Courtesy Pay. President Wiggington and Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks allowed it seeing Ms. Walker's decision as one that would benefit the credit union in collecting a large amount of fees and charges and thus helping to ameliorate the cycle of losses caused by President Wiggington's detrimental business decisions.
Ms. Walker's decision to code every member's records for Courtesy Pay (overdraft protection). forced increased numbers of members into collections. Ms. Walker also learned that she would have to issue letters to all members inviting them to enroll in Courtesy Pay, though the letter was sent after the fact and it is probable that many employees were unaware they had been enrolled in overdraft protection.
Ms. Walker also obtained authorization from the Board of Directors to build a more than $70,000 call center which she dubbed "a one-stop call center" and which she said would resolve the credit union's member service-related issues. Not only didn't it fail to achieve it's intended purpose but it actually exacerbated Priority One's service problems.
Ms. Walker also obtained approved from the Board of Directors to remodel the entire main branch which included installation of wall-to-wall carpeting, painting, new window treatments, and ordering two customized large silver colored logos for the lobbies of the South Pasadena and Burbank branches. According to Ms. Walker, remodeling of the entire South Pasadena branch including the employee lounge room and employee patio; and remodeling of the Burbank branch's lobby would attract increased business. Her more than $150,000 spent on the superfluous missed it's mark and had absolutely no impact on eliciting member interest in the credit union's financial offerings. A year and five months after remodeling the lobby of the Burbank branch had been completed, the branch closed permanently. Clearly Ms. Walker's promises were never realized making this project a complete waste of money.
A NOT SO SUPER WEAPON
Beatrice Walker arrived quietly at the main branch in South Pasadena on June 1, 2009. Her arrival was quiet and without fanfare but her 25-month stay would further unravel the organization resulting in internal strife amongst managers, lead to the rapid decay of employee morale and in the end, immerse the credit union in even more scandals. What's more, Ms. Walker's arrival would mark the start of a period defined by lawsuits.
On her first day of employment, Ms. Walker was escorted through each department by Senior Vice President, Rodger Smock. The Senior Vice President merely introduced her as "This is Bea Walker. She'll be working with us." Ms. Walker was haughty and refused to respond to employees who extended their hands to welcome her or who welcomed her. In the weeks before her arrival, rumors swept through all branches which disclosed a COO had been hired and "she's a hatchet woman." The description would makes it's way to then Human Resources "clerk", Esmeralda Sandoval, who immediately informed Rodger Smock and the President about what was being said. The President became incensed, stating he was tired of the rumors and the lies festering amongst the non-exempt sector. He of course was not being forthright again and as employees would soon learn, Beatrice Walker was indeed President Wiggington's own, personal "hatchet woman."
Several weeks after her arrival, Ms. Walker stood before employees during one of the credit union's quarterly all-staff meetings and for some reason, felt impelled to explain how she was hired. In her account, she stated that she answered an ad in a newspaper. She submitted her resume and received a telephone call inviting her to interview with the Board of Directors and afterwards, offered the job of COO. She also made tremendous effort to point out that prior to the date she started to work at the credit union, she had never met Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. Her tremendous emphasis on pointing out they'd never met prior to the date she started working at the credit union caused some employees to grow suspicious and to question why Ms. Walker felt it necessary to tell people she'd never met the President until the first day she began working at Priority One. Ms. Walker's "story" would eventually be exposed to be a lie.
Within a month after being hired, Ms. Walker introduced her friend, Loren Lillestrand, the owner of Lillestrand and Associates, to the credit union. Superficially, the reason for hiring Mr. Lillestrand was so that he could develop profiles of each employee which would provide the credit union with a record of a person's strengths and interests. The information would be used in staff development, placing employees in positions whose responsibilities were most suited to employee strengths and interest.
However, secretly, the more important reason for hiring Mr. Lillestrand was so that he could use his expertise as a consultant to identify those employees who the President labeled "rebels" and "confederates" of this blog. Mr. Lillestrand erred in allying with is long-time "friend" and associate.
Though more than $30,000 were spent on the services provided by Mr. Lillestrand, the information provided to the credit union needed to develop a stronger, more knowledgeable staff, was never implemented only because the President and Ms. Walker's agenda was to ensnare employees they believed were conspiring against their regime. Ms. Walker could never have imagined that her ambitious and aggressively executed plots would in time, lead to the deterioration of her working relationships with other officers including Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks but which would eventually lead to her eventual expulsion.
The pinnacle to Ms. Walker's amassing abuses occurred in mid-2010 when her efforts to enter into a friendship/relationship with the Valencia Branch Manager, failed. Ms. Walker's response was not only excessive, it was disturbing. Her reaction was like that of a scorned woman but how is that possible if all she was seeking a friendship?
In August 2010, Ms. Walker launched a scathing campaign fueled by unbridled emotions. In her frenzy, she inducted the assistance of an AVP, Branch Managers, the Consumer Loan Manager and the staff assigned to the Valencia branch. She publicly disparaged the Branch Manager's abilities, mocked her Spanish accent, described her as "a disappointment" and ordered that officers not respond to any of Branch Manager's voicemails or emails requesting business-related assistance.
Ms. Walker's efforts intentionally created a working environment that was nothing short of intolerable and she actually did succeed in convincing the attention starved and ethically pliable, AVP, Sylvia Perez, into distancing herself from the Branch Manager even though Mrs. Perez was the Valencia Branch Manager's supervisor. Ms. Walker also succeeded in getting the Van Nuys Branch Manager, Cecilia Pereyra, to refuse to respond to the Valencia Branch Manager's business-related calls and emails. The pandering and chronically inept Consumer Loan Manager, Joseph Garcia, also stopped speaking to the Branch Manager and the Branch Manager's own staff distanced themselves from her with some becoming belligerent and even insubordinate.
What's more, Senior Vice President Rodger Smock, was well aware of the campaign and even called the Valencia Branch Manager and asked, "Why does she hate you so much?" Hardly the approach one might expect from a competent Director of Human Resources but then again, Rodger Smock is not a competent Director.
Having grown weary of Ms. Walker's attacks, the Valencia Branch Manager visited the South Pasadena branch and lodged a complaint with Human Resources "clerk", Esmeralda Sandoval. Unfortunately, Ms. Sandoval is as ethical and compliant to policy is as President Wiggington to federal laws prohibiting sexual harassment.
A pseudo-investigation was conducted during which the President and the Senior Vice President drove to the Valencia branch and met with the Valencia Branch Manager and the Business Development Representative assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley. During the meeting, the President stated that he planned on removing Ms. Walker's authority over Human Resources. A few weeks earlier, she took control of the department and relegated it's Director, Rodger Smock, to "assist the President with special projects." There were two key reasons why she took control over the department. The first was to have complete and easy access to all personnel files. The second was that she was involved in orchestrating the ouster of Mr. Smock who she concluded was "useless", "overpaid" and "unnecessary to the operation."
And so, 13-months after being terminated, Ms. Walker is being forced to answer questions regarding her ruthless and abhorrent personal campaign against the former Valencia Branch Manager which undermined the clout she once enjoyed with the Board and which in time., contributed to the reasons leading to her expulsion.
BANISHED
Though President Wiggington orchestrated the hiring of Beatrice Walker and though he had known her prior to her arrival to Priority One on June 1, 2009, following her termination, he moved quickly to eradicate all memory of her.
When the complaint was first filed against Ms. Walker, the President used the opportunity to to try and endear himself with the Board who had grown tired of his chronic failures and excuses trying to justify why business was in decline. Mrs. Harris-Brooks' reaction was predictable. She viewed the Branch Manager's complaint as a problem that could quickly develop into yet another issue for the credit union. She ordered that the President find a way of diffusing the allegations leveled against Ms. Walker. The President reluctantly agreed because this forced him to derive a solution to a problem he felt he was being forced to participate in. He, however, had not choice. After all, it was Mrs. Harris-Brooks who protected him when evidence proved he sexually harassed a former employee. For all intents and purposes, he was indebted to her.
EXAGGERATIONS
Beatrice Walker suffered from the same insatiable need to expound upon her above-average leadership abilities as does President Wiggington. And like the President, time proved she was devoid of competencies she boasted she possessed.
A search on LinkedIn discovered several accounts all created by Ms. Walker. Some are inactive though a fourth provides an accurate record of her current biography.
A search on LinkedIn discovered several accounts all created by Ms. Walker. Some are inactive though a fourth provides an accurate record of her current biography.
BIOGRAPHY 1
The biography references “Priority One Credit Union” as her current employer where she serves in the capacity of its COO but fails to reference that her employment with the credit union ended on July 8, 2011.
Biography 2
Biography 2, like Biography 1, references Ms. Walker’s current capacity as COO of Priority One Credit Union. This of course is incorrect.
BIOGRAPHY 3
Biography 3 like Biographies 1 and 2, states that Ms. Walker is COO of Priority One Credit Union. Does Beatrice Walker understand the definition of the word “current”?
BIOGRAPHY 4
The fourth LinkedIn account we located contains a list of Ms. Walker's past employers which are Universal Studios
City Credit Union, Pasadena Service Federal Credit Union, and Honda Federal
Credit Union, but the record is intentionally incomplete. Why would this highly educated and based on her biographies and verbal statements, accomplished executive find it necessary to publish a partial history of her actual employment? Notably missing from her biography are:
- Priority One Credit Union
- Electricore, Inc..
- Airco Federal Credit Union
Just prior to her arrival at Priority One, Ms. Walker was employed by Electricore, Inc. a company located in Valencia, California. On June 2, 2009, we called Electricore and were informed that she resigned suddenly on Friday, May 29, 2009, without providing the customary two-week notice. While working for Electricore, Ms. Walker served in the capacity of a contracts specialist with alleged experience in Human Resources.
She had also been employed by Airco
Federal Credit Union, located in Glendale, California. We received an email from a former co-worker of Ms. Walker who informed us that while employed by Airco, Ms. Walker allegedly caused monetary losses which forced the credit union to file a claim with CUMIS, the company's insurance carrier.
There's are good reasons why Ms. Walker has chosen to intentionally omit references to specific past employers from her online biographies. While at Priority One, the products and services she introduced failed to achieve their intended results. Ms. Walker was also instrumental in terminating the last Burbank Branch Manager and a former Business Development Representative, both of which have filed lawsuits against the credit union. She also launched and carried out a vicious campaign against the last Valencia Branch Manager who was allegedly was subjected to harassment, same-sex sexual harassment, retaliation, coercion and even stalked by Ms. Walker. Her performance during her 25-month stay at the credit union was disastrous and her personal behaviors, appalling. What is also clear is that the Board of Directors and specifically, it's Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, failed and possibly even refused. to conduct the necessary mandated background check of Ms. Walker's past employment and performance.
As shown below, Ms. Walker's past employment record in LinkedIn, describes her as a "Financial Services Professional" who had once been employed by Universal City Studios Credit Union. We've been contacted by former employees of that credit union who informed us that Ms. Walker was also a polarizing presence while at that credit union and that she was allegedly terminated by it's President because of her failure to make sound business decisions.

Sylvia N. is a "Senior Consultant" at Lillestrand and Associates. In 2009, during a meeting with employees in South Pasadena, Loren Lillestrand described Beatrice Walker as a “close friend” who was allegedly “wonderful”, “highly intelligent”, "nice" and “charming.” He was wrong.
Sylvia N. describes Ms. Walker as "an amazing leader." The evidence of her leadership abilities while at Priority One prove that she is not amazing at anything she endeavors to do. And her termination on July 8, 2011 suggests that Board was not pleased with her "amazing" leadership skills.
Sylvia N. also describes Ms. Walker as possessing "great intuitive sense" and "great caring spirit with her colleagues." No, she doesn't. She is neither intuitive or caring though she is conniving and brutal. Her business failures aside, her scurrilous persecution of the Valencia Branch Manager attests to her actual character which proved vicious and vindictive.
With approval of Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, she also proved to be an undisciplined and wasteful spender adding to the losses begun by President Wiggington's deficient business decisions. She, like the President, proved to possess a disdain for policies and rules and it is her intentional violation of policies and laws which provoked the filing of lawsuits by three former employees. It was also she who ordered that every member's account be coded for Courtesy Pay (overdraft protection) though the law requires that the service FIRST be offered to members who can decide to accept or decline the offer.
Sylvia N's statements certainly don't hold true at Priority One Credit Union and certainly as COO, Beatrice Walker never demonstrated a "can-do attitude" towards anything she endeavored to do. .
Sylvia N. is not the only person to publish a recommendation of Ms. Walker. Here is a second recommendation written by Dorothy M., an Interior Design Educator at the College of the Canyons:
*Since publishing of our post on September 25, 2012, Ms. Walker has removed all recommendations under this account.
The credibility of his recommendation is undermined by the fact that Dorothy M. refers to Beatrice Walker as "Deatrice". Dorothy M. writes, "From a business perspective, Beatrice is smart....:" The recommendation was published on LinkedIn. Any business recommendation attesting to the competencies of an executive should always be written from a business perspective. We do have a question. How does Dorothy M. an instructor at College of the Canyons where Ms. Walker studied interior design, possess knowledge about Deatrice's/Beatrice's competencies in business?
In 2009, shortly after being hired, she developed a "friendship" with then Director of Credit Resolutions, Yvonne Boutte, and with then Assistant Branch Manager of the Redlands office, Joseph Garcia, but by November 2010, her friendships with both ended bitterly and Mrs. Boutte and Mr. Garcia began telling staff members at the South Pasadena branch that Ms. Walker was ruthless, dominating, and cruel. Ms. Walker was also terminated on July 8, 2011, because of insubordination. If she possessed any of the qualities described by Dorothy M., they were never attested to during her employment at the credit union.
In spite of having been terminated, Ms. Walker continues to be deceptive, publishing distortions of the truth and conveying an image that she is professional, accomplished and personable when the fact is she is a failure in business and possesses a vindictive and is cruel and dishonest. We suggest she hire a pricey consultant who can taken her horrendous failures and try to spin them into a positive without having to completely distort her actual work history and omit the names of employers who terminated her.
In the end, it isn't her egregious acts and failed business decisions which most standout. It is the Board's failure to conduct a proper background check of her prior employment. We believe that background checks were not performed because she came highly recommended by the President. Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, may have ordered that the usual and required checks not be initiated because Ms. Walker promised the Board she would identify and remove all of the President's enemies from the credit union. And of course, the corrupt and useless Rodger Smock, the Director of Human Resources willingly circumvented all protocols because as the years have proven, he is the President's personal amoral puppet.
ECHOES OF THE PAST
It's really inexplicable why sexual harassment is such a reoccurring issue at Priority One Credit Union. We can't fully comprehend why sex in general, is such a prevailing factor at what is a rapidly shrinking credit union. Certainly, this was not an issue which ever surfaced prior to January 1, 2007, the date Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. was named President and CEO of a then thriving credit union.
Though prior to his appointment as President it was well-known that one now former executive used to spend a part of his day viewing pornographic sites while at work from his company-assigned credit union. The only reason many employees knew of this is because he openly discussed what he'd seen.
Another person who violated policy was the Director of Human Resources, Rodger Smock. He openly entered into a relationship with a young male employee of the Member Services Department which was witnessed by both employees in the Member Services Department including it's then manager, Betty Hilliard, and by employees in the Loan Department.
A third person who sexually harassed employees in the presence of Director, Rodger Smock, was Aaron Cavazos, the former Director of Lending who would often invite women to see his "anaconda.":
However, actual sexual harassment charges were filed in 2008, when a former employee wrote to the credit union's attorney, William Adler, and informed him that she had been sexually harassed by the President for a number of years. An investigation was ordered and investigator, Scott Barer, of EXTTI, Inc. interviewed employees of the South Pasadena and Los Angeles branches and in the end provided evidence proving the President had indeed violated federal law. What's more, Mr. Barer recommended President Wiggington's termination.
Like the President, Beatrice Walker is accused of same-sex sexual harassment which includes stalking the former Valencia Branch Manager. Coincidentally, while on vacation, the Valencia Branch Manager's two dogs were poisoned. We don't know who poisoned the dogs but it seems more than a little coincidental that this occurred while she was on vacation, a fact known about by the credit union.
Here is a copy of the letter submitted in July of 2008 to attorney, William Adler:

RE: Complaint Against Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. of Priority One Credit Union
Dear Mr. Adler:
I am a former employee of Priority One Credit Union, who was wrongfully accused and terminated for "kiting" in September 2007. Last week I received an anonymous letter filled with allegations regarding numerous slanderous statements made by Charles Wiggington, the current president and CEO of Priority One Credit Union, against current and former employees of the company.
I will begin by explaining the reason I am impelled to write. I was amazed by the fact that a person or persons, actually documented the many incidents of sexual harassment and verbal abuse I was subjected to while working at the credit union's South Pasadena office. I was also dismayed by the fact that I seem to be the only employee terminated for kiting, who was referred to CUNA. Liz Campo's kiting constituted numerous incidents yet she was not referred over to CUNA. I also read that Georgina Duenas and Gema Pleitez, circumvented banking procedures and did not place a hold issued by another financial institution which later resulted in an incident of non-sufficient funds. I called the company after receiving the letter and verified that not only does Georgina continue to be employed but she has also been promoted. I understand that she now oversees Credit Resolutions which is the company's contracted credit collection department, yet she has no experience in collections and as I remember, continually abused policy and procedures. I believe that the disparity in policy enforcement and preferential treatment shown some employees is defined as discrimination. Am I correct?
Of all the acts described in the letter, none is more insidious than that of restoring a business relationship with Henry Justice. At the time I called the office I was told that Charles had been informed that you also received a copy of the anonymous letter and that when informed by Diedra Harris-Brooks of its contents, he denied this newly resurrected business relationship with Mr. Justice. I was also told that upon conclusion of his conversation with Diedra, he immediately called Henry Justice and instructed him to deny any involvement with Priority One. I cannot fathom why I was terminated for one act of kiting while Georgina remains employed and was recently promoted and why the credit union has decided to go into business with Henry Justice, a person who literally absconded with thousands of dollars which belong both to the credit union and its valued Members.
In the weeks following my termination, employees of the company called my home and informed me that employees at the LAPDC and Aaron Cavazos and Georgina Duenas at the South Pasadena office, had been overheard speaking while in the Loan Department, about my termination. Rumors included that I approved and funded a loan for a man I was involved with; that I passed several bad checks; and that I misappropriated funds. I was mortified about the rumors and called Charles on his company cell phone. When I told him about the rumors, he rudely brushed me aside and in a condescending tone, replied that “only management” knew about the reasons why I was terminated. Based on Charles’ words, I concluded that the rumors were being spread by the credit union’s management sector.
My last 3 years of employment at the credit union were at times tormentuous. Every statement in the letter describing what Charles said and did to me is true.
Though many of my co-workers witnessed many of these incidents, including Aaron Cavazos, Patti Loiacano, and Rodger Smock, none did anything to dissuade his harassment. I was also afraid to lose my job because I am a single parent raising a daughter. His statements humiliated and embarrassed me and demeaned my person. I have spent the last few days remembering the many things he said including the abuse termination meeting I was subjected to, as AVP, Lynnette Fortson interrogated me demanding an explanation why I had written a bad check. I now believe my termination, which was ordered by Charles, may have been an effort to quell me from disclosing the many acts he committed against me while I was employed. The duress and harassment and eventual termination, have left me emotionally injured and financially impaired.
Why was Liz Campos not reported to CUNA? Why was Georgina Duenas not terminated for the check she deposited in 2007, which later bounced? Why were the required holds not placed on the check? Does Georgina Duenas or Gema Pleitez have the authority to circumvent banking procedures? Aren't policies to be enforced unilaterally?

Henry Justice robbed the credit union and escaped prosecution. He also filed bankruptcy and avoided having to pay back the money he took, yet Mr. Wiggington has allowed him to enter areas of the company which are usually off-limits to non-members and has decided to re-establish a business relationship with Mr. Justice. Can you please provide an explanation why resuming a business relationship with Mr. Justice is deemed right and why I was terminated?
The Human Resources Department at Priority One chose to ignore Charles' mocking, sexual innuendos, and slandering of my person. Why is that the company chose not to protect me, deprived me of my rights, and terminated me when Charles has done far worse to employees, the credit union, and evidently in the case of Danny Wafa, robbed at least one member of his automobile.
I am going to consult an attorney will file a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Comission and any other state or federal agency who will investigate and act upon my complaint. I will also begin efforts to contact other former employees who believe they were abused and mistreated by Charles. The Board of Directors has failed miserably in reining in Mr. Wiggington. Evidently tye years of complaints and rumors of wrong doing were not enough to get them to initiate an investigation. They are responsible for overseeing the credit union's sound operations but refused to intercede and bring an end to his [Charles R. Wiggington, Sr.] insidious regime.

It is interesting that in 2008, Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, chose to ignore the evidence and the investigator's recommendation and with the help of Directors, O. Glen Saffold and Thomas Gathers and Supervisory Committee Chair, Cornelia Simmons,. voted for reinstatement of the President. Before the investigation was ever conducted, Mrs. Harris-Brooks knew she would fight for the President's reinstatement. Unlike all other employees who are suspended following allegations they have violated credit union policy, Mrs. Harris-Brooks placed Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. on suspension with pay. The gravity of the accusations leveled against him were inconsequential to the corrupt Board Chair. Mrs. Harris-Brooks also issued two letters- one to the victim and the other to the President in which she reduced the accusations against the President as mere humorous though inappropriate repartee encouraged by the victim.
Three years later, Mrs. Harris-Brooks ordered that the President diffuse the Valencia Branch Manager's allegations against Ms. Walker and dismiss the entire matter to a mere conflict of personalities. Ms. Harris-Brooks' dishonest proclivities have again injured the credit union, leaving it open to yet another lawsuit.
In 2010, Mr. Smock also received complaints from female employees alleging that a former Afro-American Business Development Representative and then Call Center Supervisor, Joseph Garcia, had inappropriately touched them. The two males were counseled by Mr. Smock who may only have chosen to issue warnings because of the 2008 complaint filed against the President.
In 2009 through 2010, the Board Chair had no qualms with the abusive tactics employed by Ms. Walker against employees and she purposely ignored the fact that Ms. Walker's so-called efforts to create profit, were all failing. Despite well documented failures by the COO, during the annual meeting which took place in May 2010, Mrs. Harris-Brooks told attendees that in her opinion and that of the Board, they believed the credit union finally had the "right management team in place." Fourteen months later, Mrs. Harris-Brooks ordered Ms. Walker's termination.
Beatrice Walker's vendetta against certain employees was provoked by the President. Not only did she create greater divisiveness but she intentionally fostered discord amongst staff members and created an environment saturated by vicious gossip, strife and intrigue. The decision to finally terminate Ms. Walker was as much an indictment to her chronic failures and abhorrent behaviors as it was to the failures and corrupt nature of the entire Board of Directors and in particular, its Chair, Mrs. Harris-Brooks.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Baby, I’ve been watching you
I want to know you better
I love the way you move and dress
And how you fill that sweater.
When you catch me staring, you always turn away
But I don’t plan on stopping cause I see you as my prey.
It’s time you change the way you think cause I plan to make you mine
You know that I can’t help myself, you’re always looking fine.
The law says its illegal and I will get in trouble
But no law is gonna stop me
Nor going to burst my bubble.
"When a worker complains about
harassment, you take it seriously."

On May 15, 2012, poster and credit union insider, Priority MC wrote, "There is no lawsuit from Suzanna like you keep saying." She lied. Shown below is the summons ordered to be served on former COO, Beatrice Walker, in the lawsuit filed by the former Valencia Branch Manager.
The summons also dispels verbalizations made by President Wiggington; Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks; Director, O. Glen Saffold; and AVP, Yvonne Boutte, denying that a lawsuit has ever been or will ever be filed by the former Valencia Branch Manager.
The President has recently disclosed that the credit union's attorneys, Richardson Harmon Ober PC have also promised they will defeat the latest lawsuit if it goes to trial. If they in fact said this, it's both inappropriate and unproven to be true. The attorneys are beginning to sound more and more, like bottom feeders.
Based on the tactics resorted to during litigation of the first and second lawsuits, we expect the law firm to resort to once again employ mud slinging design to impugn the character of the Plaintiff. When attorney's lack intellect and are devoid of moral compass, then attacking Plaintiff characters is certainly appropriate.
So how will they contend with the fact Beatrice Walker was terminated for insubordination? How will they handle the fact she openly and arrogantly violated policies, laws, and employees?
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

Thank you again for providing us with this fascinating story that should serve as a warning aobut what happens when a board puts all its faith in a dysfunctional president and his troup of clowns.
There is a big problem at P1 and its that Wigg and his managers like to play instead of fixing the big messes they made.
Once again, what an incredible post.
Well, this also sounds like Virginia Contreras. Did she finally get a taste of her own medicine? For years she mistreated employees and harassed them, she would chase them away until she was the last one standing to be Gema's go to person. Although, she wasn't smart, this was her tactic. I often thought she was a lesbian by the way she would try to become your friend. If you were a threat to her and you didn't want her in your life, you were a target. There were many complains on Virginia too, but she was close friends with Rodger and was always protected by him.
It's so sad how fast Wigginton and all the uneducated managers that are left have destroyed this credit union. It use to be a wonderful place to work. So sad, so sad
Virginia was the worst! Where is she anyway? I remember how she used to come by the teller and reception area and looked to see if we were ready to start working even if it wasn't our start time. She always had that snotty 'I smell poop' expression. I know when she got a little drunk she's start touching us (girls) and then she'd say the most horrible things. A couple of times she almost got her ass kicked. Ugly inside and out.
All these going ons are like a bad romance novel with lots of sex. What the hell is going on at that credit union? I saw Wigg recently and you know he can't be having sex anymore unless you like your men looking skelator.
I think I can sue Bea too. I remembered her staring at my butt and I think she even licked her lips. Then later that day I caught her staring a my cleavage. Of course it was halloween and I was dressed in drag but so what.
Wigg used to work at California Federal Savings and they're out of business.
He also worked at Allstate Savings & Loan and they're out of business too.
He worked at Gibraltar Savings and Loan and their out of business.
He worked with Security Pacific National Bank and they no longer exist too.
He's President of Priority One and business is going down the toilet. See a connection?

Somebody should make a movie about P1. You got a president who turns everything he touches into shit.
You have a talking Big Foot.
You have a drag queen running collections.
You have a supposed religious man running HR but everyone knows he's a hypocrite and backstabber.
You have a girl with a weight problem who says the blog is written by evil employees she can only see.
You have a six foot ex-COO who looks like a sex change operation gone wrong who lives in a castle and falls in love with a beautiful princess.
The story could take place in Transylvania on a rainy night. They could name it The X-File or The SEX Files or Fugly Island.
I can't believe they're being sued again! The place is a mess. Did you read their newsletters? All Wigg talks about is ATM's and banking services and he avoids the real issues destroying the CU. I wonder why he hasn't been canned and why the Board hasn't been removed?
Just a ghetto mess.
Bea was the worst person I've ever worked with. She walked around the credit union with Yvonne and Joseph like they owned the place. Yvonne and Joseph were her dogs and ate out of her hand. No secret about how she used to stare at Suzan. A lot of us saw it and I don't think she card. She should be sued and at least someone had the balls to do it. When she left we were all happy but its too bad she didn't take Wiggington or Yvonne with her.
I hope this case goes to court so that everyone can know how nasty and dirty Wigg and Bea are. They deserve to put on the stand and have the book thrown at them!
Diedra deserves having the book thrown at her. So does the ignorant board and Cornelia Simmons!
Its not surprising Bea's friend missplled her first name on LinkedIn. Just before Bea got fired she sent out a letter to members that had a lot of wrong information. Diedra got pissed not only because the information was wrong but because Bea was told that she couldn't just send out letters without first having them approved by Rodger and Wigg. She made a lot of mistakes with language and with promotions which the board throught was a reason was doing bad.
Bea was a stupid backstabbing bitch like her girlfriends Yvonne and Joseph. Yvonne has taken her place and she has Alex and useless Gema doing her work.
None of this is surprising. A lot of employees were afraid of Bea because she had a reputation that she would get you and your little dog Toto if she didn't like you. When she left I think almost everybody was happy including Joseph Garcia who said she was a backstabber.
I used to work there and I can't believe Fiona Georgina and Freda Gema are still there. Those women were the worst. They cheated the company and got so many employees in trouble. Both are lazy as hell and are the worst!! So how is it there still working at P1 when hard working good employees have been canned?
My favorite blog. Thanks for another great post.
Fiona. I forgot about her nickname. Yes, she's still there. She was really pissed when Sonia got promoted and started telling all of us how unfair it was and how Sonia didn't know what she was doing. Even Cecilia at Van Nuys said it wasn't fair. Cecilia should mind her own business. I heard Fiona say that Sonia and Cindy wrote her up. About time after all the backstabbing and cheating she's done all these years. She's still the only person I know who committed fraud and got protected by Wigg and Rodger.
Their service sucks!
Is it really any surprise that they're being sued again? Bea was the worst. She was snotty and had major attitude. She never talked to lower level employees until she her friendships with Wigg, Smock, Yvonne, and Joseph ended. After that she was so hard up she started hanging out with idiot, Gema, and dishonest, Georgina, both who are as dumb as a box of nails. She never hung around with any males except for Joseph who has more female energy than a real girl. Her friendship with Yvonne was weird. I remember how she used to say that she and Yvonne went shopping on weekends, went out for drinks after work plus day went to lunch together everyday. Joseph once even said that Bea had said that Yvonne used to stay at her house on weekends when Yvonne's husband was out-of-town. Anyway, Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen Degeneris need to tell her to give back her membership card because she is an embarrassment to whatever sex you like.
Bea a lesbian? Big surprise. What's next. Yvonne is a big foot?
What the hell is going on at that credit union? What a mess! It used to be a great place when Mr Harris was there. Employees were nice polite and so helpful and people looked happy. Managers were good and people went out of their way to help each other out. You could visit any branch and they were all good. Wiggington turned this place into more than a dump. They want to save the credit union fire him, the board and all his managers.
Has anyone talked to Irma? Does anybody know why she got canned? Heard she said something about Wigg's health but that doesn't seem grounds for getting fired.
Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I think that you just can do with a few % to force the message home a little bit, however other than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
I used to think Rodger was a great guy who really cared about people but you learn that Rodger is out for Rodger. Lots of employees told him about managers that were abusing employees, managers that were having their employees clock them in and he was there when Kim used to get sexually harassed but not once did he ever do anything to stop managers. Just the opposit every employee that has ever complained has found themselves black balled or fired. That's all Rodger! Bea got away with all her crap because Rodger and Wigg thought she was on their side and was going to help them get employees who hated them. Because of that she broke policy but Rodger who is supposed to enfoce policy just stepped back and let her do her thing. I'm not surprised she's being sued but I can't understand how Rodger and Wigg thought no lawsuit would ever be filed. These men are evil and really, really stupid.
Rodger cares about Rodger. Its like Wigg orders the hits and Rodger is the guy with the cover over his face bringing down the axe.
Q. What can a goose do, a duck can’t, and a lawyer should?
A. Stick his bill up his ass.
Rodger's kind of invisible lately. You don't see him that much and he doesn't spend hours cutting coupons and passing those out in the office. Its ike he's hiding.

Look into my page :: great advertising ideas
Beatrice lying about her job history is just more of the same ol. The woman is a liar. She lied for years about employees and then had them fired. She and Wigg lied on the books about how much money the CU was making and they lied to the stupid Board. They have been sued 3 times by ex-employees because of Bea's lies. The woman is a liar and as ugly as sin.
They were recently audited for several weeks. According to one manager at P1, the auditors "are looking for something." I'm sure they're looking for more than just one thing.
I don't get their latest promo.
If you get a new or used auto loan "your Savings Account will earn the same rate as you pay on your vehicle loan!" You may deposit up to 10% of the monthly payment amount each month to drive up your saving balance.
Example: $500/monthly loan payment = $50/monthly deposit maximum
*APR=Annual Percentage Rate. Savings account will close when loan is paid off. Deposit up to a maximum of 10% of your monthly loan payment per month. This is not a loan offer, not all members will qualify. $15,000 @ 3.24% (includes discount for direct deposit to Priority One Checking Account and Loyalty Reward Discount) for 72 months = $229.52. Rates based on individual credit scores. Auto loan approval based on approved credit and other program criteria, call us for details.
I don't get it.
Don't worry, they don't get it either.
Sex talk is normal at the main office and particularly with management. Its probably because you're dealing with people who are ghetto, barrio and trailer trash. No job title or degree is going to make you a better person and give you some class.
Does anyone know how much they've spent on attorney fees this year?
A lot. I think Charles reports some of legal under consulting so it doesn't look as high, but its high.
A temp was hired for credit resolutions while one of the girls was off on leave, the temp quit out of no where. I'm sure it has to do with Alex and Yvonne. They suck at being mAnagment
Alex and Yvonne are HORRIBLE! Alex is a BIG gossip and backstabber. She's so stupid that she can tell you with a straight face that she's a good person. She should say good for nothing. She cuts her staff short when their trying to explain any situation to her always saying she doesn't have the time. She also says she likes the short version of things which might explain why she's so uneducated. Yvonne is a power hungry dumb ass. I know some people think she has "good ideas" but really, the credit union is doing poorly, so how good are her ideas. Plus she acts like she knows it all and she treats her people like they're stupid. Most people who have to dominate others are insecure with their abilities. Obviously this Big Foot dumb ass can't see that people can't stand being around her (except Alex who follows her around like they're married).
Bad managers like Yvonne and Alex all started with Wigg, well except for Sylvia who was looney tunes for years and as dumb as nails. Its the tone Wigg set. He stinks as a President and so he puts people like him into management. Look at Rodger, Robert West, Cindy and before he cut Sylvia loose he used to say he wanted every employee to be like Sylvia. That would of meant everybody would have had to get a lobotomy.
Does anybody know if Bea got a new job? I can't imagine anyone hiring her but you never know.
Big Foot says she has a new job.
Big Foot says she has a new job.
Do you know if she's working in the industry or did she get a job as an interior decorator which she was always saying was her dream job? I can't see her as a decorator though. Did you ever see the carpeting she picked for the main branch? Very alternative lifestyle of her.
LOL.
Is it true they're thinking about closing down Santa Clarita? The office is only 7 months old but Cindy said Wigg might want it closed but I find that hard to believe.
Wigg manages P1 more like a sex club than a credit union. Well at least he did until he got accused of sex harassment. I can't believe the credit union has fallen so far. A lot of people were so unhappy when he was named President because he was known as an incompetent VP of operations. He of course heard about it and said people were jealous of him. Jealouse of what? The way he talks, the way he looks, the way he walks or because of the junk heap BMWs he drives around in?
Bea is working again. Yvon said she's at another credit union. I guess that will go out of business soon.
Bea is working again? There's no way that rotten bitch can ever hide what she is. She'll make a mess of her new employer just like she did at P1 and Universal City CU.
Is it that hard to believes Bea's might have a new job? The board still employes Wigg and Rodger. And does P1 really need a trainer who knows nothing about training and who is now over HR but knows nothing about HR?
Hee, hee, hee. That Bea, always making up some story about how great she is. I used to attend meetings and she talked about all the changes she was going to make. She told us how she called her friends in the industry and got ideas from them on what she could do at Priority. That's why she and Wigg tried Priority Pay which failed. Courtesy pay which made a lot of members delinquent. Skip a pay which made SOME not a lot of money. That's why they both thought that it would be cheaper and better for us to maintain our own ATM's. That failed too. Bea is like Wigg they have a lot to say, but if you're smart run.
I didn't know virgina is out. They haven't said anything.
Virginia was warned by Big Foot that if she didn't get her numbers up she'd get demoted or fired which is probably why she suddenly got sick. She put so many employees thru hell for so long, guess she's just getting back what she put out.
I heard from someone in accounting that we don't have much money and that we have to cut back. Cindy says things are good but Yvonne says things are bad. So are they good or are they bad?
No, there isn't much money. Thats why they drag their feet to reimburse expenses. They can't afford to reimburse gas expenses so they're cutting down on employees driving on business.
What happened to the business development team? Darlene, Tori, David, George, and Martha are gone. Hector is the only one left and I was told they want him to stay in the office. What's up? Joseph goes out but he doesn't bring in any business in (maybe a loan here and there that are all denied). Wigg used to say he wanted all AVPs in the field but Sylvia is out, Yvonne stays at her desk and so does Gema, and Lynnette. Maybe we're not getting new business because no one's developing new business.
THEY NEED TO CLOSE IT UP ALREADY. WHAT'S THE POINT TO KEEP IT OPEN?
Not a surprise that after screwing over so many people that HR would become part of a lawsuit. I hope they drag Smock out by her high heels. He's as guilty as Bea and Wigg. They never could have done the things they did if it weren't for Smock. He should be ashamed but he has no sense of shame. Couldn't happen to a group of nicer people!
They should have fired Wigg a long time ago and kicked Deedra out. Maybe the two could of got a job at Church's Chicken on Central.
No they couldn't.
So what happening with Suzanne's case? Is she going to court? I hope they pay up the butt for everything they did to her. Their the lowest scum.
Wigg has ordered the cu cut-back on reimbrusements because we can't afford them. How bad are we doing if employees expenses take 30 days or more to pay back or if the cu can't afford them?
They're still cutting back, they have to. Accounting said we're out of money. I don't know what that means.
Whatever happened to Mike Martinez?
Did something happen to him?
Are you referring to Mike Martinez at Universal Auto? I bought a car from him years ago. He gave me a great deal. I know the credit union got rid of him for a while, but I heard he is back. I hope they keep him around this time.
I still want to know how Jennifer Kelly got her job back, how Gema got stripped of her AVP title but got to keep her AVP salary, how Wigg through promoting Yvonne and Alex was a smart idea, and how Cindy qualfies to oversee loan development?
PS: And why Irma got fired.
Irma "supposedly" got fired for violating policy. I was told she said something about Wigg's health that she saw in his records but I don't think that was the reason. I think they accused her of violating policy about business. Whatever the reason, why didn't they fire Wigg who violated more policy than anyone else at P1?
Poor P1. Wigg really screwed it over. Cindy doesn't do crap and Joseph is doing grunt work when forced to. I don't know why Gema is still employed. Yvonne needs her because Virginia ran off when she thought she was going to get fired. We're opening new accounts and closing out a lot of accounts so its not like there is any progress. I can see an end to this CU.
My favorite blog. P1 is a disaster that's already happened but can't stop.
Why is Gema still getting paid her AVP salary but she's no longer an AVP? She's supervising the CALL CENTER again UNTIL THEY HIRE A PERMANENT CARD SERVICES/CALL CENTER Supervisor. The way they do things doesn't make sense. You fire a bunch of hard working employees but you keep Gema, Yvonne, and Joseph (and Wigg and Smock). They cut back money on one side and continuing throwing money on another.
Wow. Those are some accusations! A-W-K-W-A-R-D. Is Bea a ?????? That might explain why she used to spend so much time acting like a 4 year old with her main girl, Big Foot. They were always sneaking about the office whispering.
Where is Priority MC? I miss her violating confidentiality.
Can't wait for the October 10th post!!! As long as we stick together the truth will always get out!!! Haha. And they'll just keep firing people and making up a reason why but secretly meet and say "do you think we finally found the blog mole"? I can't wait to see our terrible little cu shutdown just to see how management freaks out when they need to update their 1980's resumes. Will they omit POCU as their previous employer like Bea Walker did?
That's a good one But imagine what Gema would jot down: high school diploma then straight to pocu with ZERO impact other than milking a bigger pay check Than most employees there. She dated the previous south pas managers son! She knew what she had to do to get up that ladder. Even if it meant ( You know what) With her bosses son. This is the pocu way. Yvonne did the same with Bea i'm sure To get ahead. Suzanne Sunada used to walk holding hands with Wiggington Around the cu and poof!! She got her own card services department. Joseph is like a blind man and doesnt care whos ass he kisses as long as he can feel one in front of him and he hopes for the best.
This goes out to the previous two posts:
Dear anonymous's,
I would love to buy each of u a beer for the two best comments I've read here in a while. Hat off to the both of you. Fight the noble fight!!!
Gema dated Betty's son? Wow. I used to think she was lesbian. And you are so right about Yvonne and Joseph. Ah the truth, rarely pleasant but all so revealing.
Bares repeating...
Joseph is like a blind man and doesnt care whos ass he kisses as long as he can feel one in front of him and he hopes for the best.
Managers at P1 have to kiss ass that's what they call job security. Each time Joseph goes out into the community to get business he brings back a few applications and all get denied because of bad credit. He's nothing more than a nickel and dime guy. He doesn't have the talent to pull in big amounts of business or connect with big companies because he has no talent and is kind of dumb. He still drops by branches and wastes everybody's time by reminding us that we have goals to meet. Like we need Mr. No Nuts reminding us of what we already know. He can't teach us how to get new business because he doesn't know squat. At least he has a nice AVP title and a salary he doesn't deserve.
What's wrong at the credit union? You had Rodger once chasing after Henry. Then you have Gema dating someone's son. Wigg going after poor Kim. And I remember how Beatrice used to say that Yvonne would spend the weekends at her house when Yvonne's husband was out of town. I might expect that from 2 high school girls but not to over-the-hill dinosaurs. If its so innocent then why is it that these people all do things that make it look like sex is involved? Cold showers for everyone and maybe some strong sedatives.
You can see that Wigg has lost a lot of his power. I think the board and maybe even Cindy are running the place. Same thing for Rodger. The big question is why they just don't cut them lose. You never needed Wigg or Rodger or West or Yvonne. They're all useless.
John can't wait for you to get to a 100,000.

At least now they gave her a hamster size office where she sits all day long making sure the 2 call center people are answering phones. Gema should get an award right next to Wig for milking the cu almost dry and getting a paycheck for not doing shit. Look at her P1 account, she's got more than enough money to retire on but she's greedy. She's always been about her. Last year before they took away her authority, she would go into accounting and say there were certain jobs she didn't do because she was an AVP. Gema ain't shit except at P1 where someone like Wig can be President and someone like Smock can sit in their office all day long and write up notes to post in the men's bathroom that say watch where you spray. If you wonder why P1 is in the toilet, look at Gema, Wig and a bunch of others who just want to make sure they got a nice little savings for their retirement.
Rodger is writing notes for the men's room? How appropriate.
They need to trim the fat which is all at the top. They need a CFO but they need another CEO. They don't need an executive VP and they don't need a trainer or an unqualified HR manager. They need to bring in people with real experience in busienss development and who understand finances. They don't need consultants as much as they need leaders who have the ability to turn around the credit union's horrible reputation. And they need to stop doing things that get them sued! Here's a suggestions- obey the law!
Where is Gema's office located? The fact they gave the useless slug an office is a big surprise. I remember the call center having five incoming lines. So if they only have 2 call center reps, what's happening to all the other calls that come thru on the other 3lines?
Gema is been turned to a guard dog. Lucky for her, she's got a job that takes no skill. Diedra was here the other day and I heard her saying that everything is "great." I think she must have hit her head because she's living in some other reality.
Beatrice got a mew job! Someone actually hired that two-faced witch! This should show everyone that there are companies that'll hire scum. She's working at Honda FCU in Torrance. She used to work there years ago and her friend the CEO got her a job because no one was interested in her. Good luck to Honda.
She got a job? Talk about someone who shouldn't ever be allowed to work with people ever again.
Gema's office is a shoebox, but she's so dumb she probably got all excited. When Alex Suarez reads this to Yvonne, they'll probably giggle and think, "true!"
P.s. they used to stash the popcorn machine where her office is. I haven't got a close enough peak to see if it's still in there.
Gema always wanted an office when she was branch manager. She used to say she needed it. Don't know why, because she was and is lazy. Nowadays she's an overpaid AVP with no authority who monitors call center reps. Her office is that niche where they used to have the member service fax machine. She's built like a 12 year old boy and weighs about 80 lbs so its big enough for her but too small for let's say, a poodle.
I never understood when I worked there why Wigg and Smock were so addicted to titles. I remember the day Wigg was telling us about his big plans how fat Smock sat there at the table munching on choclate kisses that were in a bowl and that stupid old smug look across his face, like he'd finally arrived. The queens thought that they got on easy street, at least until everything started going down the toilet. First Wigg decided to "get even" with Harris' people and got rid of Mag and then tried to get rid of Lynnette but Mrs Irving stopped him. He wanted to get rid of Generis but she died. He then let his boy/girl toy, Arron Gordo Cavazos have his/her way until Aaron turned against him and started spending 4 hours a day at the office. Yvonne is no better. That bitch only became friends with Bea to see what she could get. It was all going great for Miss Big Foot until Bea started blabbing how Yvonne used to spend weekends at her home in Santa Clarita. Joseph is a kiss ass because he knows he's too stupid to ever be a good manager. He's an idiot. Things were going to for him while Bea was protecting him until she realized he was as big a dumb ass as she was. Then she turned her attention to Gema who is a female version of Joseph. Or did I mean male? Anyway, its a bunch of useless uneducated people with title who think they're special but they ain't shit.
I worked at P1 for a few months- at first i felt that i was lucky to be a part of that company until i started to see people's true colors- P1 is the worst company i could have ever entered ... i kicked myself for leaving my previous job. Management there is so hohorrible and un professional ... i have never came across someone like Yvonne, she belittles her employees and talks down to them, the only way u last there is if you take her shit and keep your mouth shut- I'M sorry but that's not me. You can have your puppy Alex running around taking your shit .. Alex is an ignorant person who think she knows it all. All she does all day is talk about her bull shit diet that's not working and gossip!! She gets to work late and take like 2 hour lunches, maybe that's why your diets don't work!! Her and Yvonne should really open thr eyes and look around cuz everyone in that company talks shit about both of them. Luckly im in a much better place and i feel bad of those who have to report to Alex running & Yvonne thr both worthless!
Oh & p.s - I know Alex and Yvonne read this daily- truth hurts ... Fuck u both bitches!
That is all 100% true! Yvonne really thinks she's the most intelligent person at P1 but she's dishonest, a backstabber, a liar, and an abuser. She used to have this guy named Jerry who worked for her. He was hired part time and she loved him because he was so abusive with members. Employees avoided him because he was horrible and used to steal employee lunches fromt the refrigerators. Even Alex confronted him when he ate her ice cream. If she was trying to lose weight she's know you don't eat ice cream. ANYWAY, even social outcast Jerry couldn't stand working for Yvonne. She ended his part-time assignment but when Sandra quit (because she couldn't stand working with Yvonne either even though they had been friends) Yvonne told Jerry she was extending his temp assignment. He told her he needed a few days off and then got a job somewhere else and never came back. Must suck to be Yvonne Boutte. I drove past the credit union 2 weeks ago and going down the stairs on La France was 8 foot tall Yvonne followed by her dog, Alex. Guess some things never change.
