August 16, 2004 In early March 2004 we offered her supervisor a promotion and transfer to a sister property. While we considered the writer for this job we elected otherwise and hired another professional. Rather than cooperate with her new supervisor the writer instead attempted to subvert her and injure the business that employed her. Shortly after her new supervisor started the writer left her position for one full week. When she returned we observed she was insubordinate, declined regular duties and was uncooperative with her fellow workers and our customers. We feel the writer may have been upset that she did not get promoted. I asked the writer to attend a telephone counseling session where she was presented with the problems we had recently experienced. I told her how disappointed I was with her new attitude in view of what had been an excellent work record. In front of her new supervisor, her former supervisor and me, she became argumentative and heaved her keys at the window. She was terminated at that point. The writer was living at the apartment community and asked to vacate in accordance with her agreement. She overstayed under that agreement and as she left her post at the time of her termination she stole her employee file and lease agreement. Due to the theft of her own file we were unable to refund prepaid amounts on deposit by the writer. When we were able to reconstruct the file and records we offered the writer a refund in exchange for a release of claims. She has declined to cooperate and has pressed on with her allegations of wrongdoing despite being rejected by the EEOC and State Attorney General. Anyone can distort the facts. We operate our business in a professional manner and the facts speak for themselves. Don't be fooled by someone who has already proven herself to be disloyal and dishonest.
