One Reader's Criticism
Earlier today, we received an email from "Mrs. Rivers." The contents are a scathing criticism of the former Marketing Director who was harassed, subjected to abuse and finally laid-off by Priority One Credit Union's President, Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. We don't know who Mrs. Rivers is but based on the writing, our guess is its one of Priority One's managers. Here is Mrs. Rivers message:
"The Marketing Director is not the innocent angel you have made her out to be. If she did not like you you better believe she would make working intolerable. She never really did any Marketing (that's what Andermahr was for). She had her defender (Mr. Harris). She did not have a Marketing degree either by the way, you forgot to mention that John. That's why $500,000.00 was spent with them [Andemarhr] each year, you forgot to mention that too. If you are going to put something out there and ruin peoples lives, then stick to the thruth, the whole thruth and nothing but the truth."

We've reviewed our posts and can't find anything that insinuates the former Marketing Director was an angel. Mrs. Rivers also failed to provide where in our posts have we alluded to the former Director as an angel.
According to the writer, the former Director apparently had employees she favored and those she didn't. The latter were allegedly subjected to intolerable working conditions. That is an interesting allegation as there are apparently no complaints filed with the credit union, State's Labor Board or Department of Fair Employment and Housing, documenting intolerable working conditions created by the former Director.
The writer is evidently confused in stating that the Director of Marketing did not actually do anything related to marketing. While she served as Director over marketing, the credit union was the recipient of dozens of awards issued by the industry and recognizing Priority One for its innovative marketing strategies, promotions and advertising. Since the Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. was appointed President on January 1, 2007, the credit union has not received a single aware.
And though its true, that the credit union contracted the services of Andermahr and Associates, hiring marketing consultants is not unusual for any credit union. In the case of the Priority One, it helped garner recognition from industry peers.
And it was Mr. Harris who appointed the Director of Marketing and it is not unreasonable to view him as her defender but Mrs. Rivers is hypocritically defending President Wiggington.
And $500,000 was never spend per year on the services of Andermahr and Associates. The credit union's Monthy Income Statement reveal annual expenditures were a tenth of this at most.
And Mrs. Rivers asks that we tell the thruth. Unfortunately, we have no idea what thruth is. Is it a city in Norway?
We ask that in the future use some other pseudonym. May we suggest, Sodger Rmock.
