What makes it bad is my age at the time I was terminated, 53, and how nearly impossible it has been to get back on track. Even now, with a stable position, it is only classified, which means it pays peanuts, and it is part-time although it is PERS eligible. The only reason I am working in my current job is to get the pension vesting,which will occur in about a year and half, provided I am still alive then. Like Nevada the pension vesting is five years of service credit. With the job, early Social Security that I had to take, and the Nevada PERS benefit, combined they are only half what I made at WCSD a decade ago. That is a tremendous hit in pay, and I damn every single one of those people responsible for all but destroying my professional career.
There are about nine people who were involved who I will never, ever forgive for what they did. They have no idea how difficult it has been for me. I am STILL living on a couch in my brother's house eight years later because I cannot afford to buy a place at this time, and I will absolutely not sink any money into an apartment, especially when so few rent to people with pets. I will not live hand-to-mouth ever again, not when there are things I want to do in the time I have left and given that I am still pretty healthy overall.
And look how well those assholes have done in the years since:
I was messing around
on Facebook a few weeks back, and I noticed the cunt who sabotaged me in WEA, the then executive director,
has apparently retired from WCSD, nine years after former HR head Anon 2 bought her off with a job he created in “labor relations.” I don’t know who her
replacement is there, if there is anybody.
Good fucking riddance to that bitch.
What the kicker is is
that upon research to find her successor there, the job is no longer in
existence although a flowchart from the district shows “labor relations” under
the “general counsel” department. It
should not surprise me the “job” no longer exists, for Anon 2 created this
job out of whole cloth in order to bribe her into taking it and therefore not
being a witness for my side during my termination hearing. This should have gotten Anon 2 fired right
then and there.
There are about nine
people who I will never forgive for ruining my life economically but not
knocking down my spirit of determination, at least in the medium long-term,
when I was illegally “dismissed” nearly ten years ago. No forgiveness of these assholes:
Anon 1: WEA
executive director, later bought off by crooked HR head, who created
a job for her in a quid pro quo-type of arrangement.
Anon 2: The asshole who was head of HR and
spearheaded my “investigation” and never bothered to find out the truth; he
just wanted to save money by getting rid of me on totally fabricated
charges. He wanted to get at my pension
and my teacher license or my special education endorsement , and he failed to
do either. Prick was demoted by
then-superintendent Heath Morrison in 2011 to head housekeeping services; he
retired in 2014 or 2015 from the district.
He then went to work for the Nevada State Education Association in Elko
as a uniserve officer, or whatever the fuck they call it. He just recently returned to Reno and took Anon 1's old job at WEA after her replacement retired. That is reason enough never, ever to join
WEA.
Anon 3: The lawyer who supposedly
“represented” me in the termination hearing but was actually in bed with WCSD
and failed to tell me I needed to file a claim with EEOC.
Anon 4: The worthless principal who threw me under the bus, thus damaging if not destroying
my career and making it impossible for me to ever be able to retire. She was moved as “punishment” by then-superintendent Paul Dugan for her
illegal termination to another school.
Bitch was there for two years, then she got a make-work job in the
“green house” being a “TIF grant coordinator.”
She did that for a year, then, under new superintendent Pedro Martinez,
she got moved to another school.
She lasted there for two years, and then went back to the central office
to be a “principal on special assignment”; i.e., a principal given yet another
make-work job when she couldn’t cut it as a principal, this time being involved
in “professional development.” This is
where she is currently at. She will
likely fart around there for the next three or four years until she gets her
thirty years in for full Nevada PERS, all done on the back of my career. A worthless sack of shit of a human being.
Anon 5: Corrupt attorney who was involved in my
illegal termination. Lied his ass off in
his brief about me. A total piece of
shit who is still employed by WCSD.
Paul Dugan: At the time the WCSD superintendent. Totally worthless, rubberstamping a dismissal
he knew was illegal. He retired in 2009,
got widowed and shortly thereafter got remarried to a much-younger girlfriend
he had in the central office. He moved
to the Portland, Oregon, area, getting something around 160,000 a year or more
pension, plus his current wife gets a fat pension of around 60,000 a year.
Anon 6: Evil, evil bastard principal who started this
whole mess of scapegoating me when I refused to violate NCLB regarding special
education students. Spent the rest of
the 2006-2007 year in retaliation.
Completely mentally ill, likely a sociopath. I demanded to be moved as a result of him
writing up a bullshit “letter of admonition” regarding my taking students to
the store without giving him two weeks’ notice.
He was full of shit. He later got
demoted to teacher after one of his girlfriends’—he has been married since the
mid-1980s and has two grown children—husband complained to the higher ups that Anon 6 was having an affair with his wife, who just happen to be a
subordinate of Anon 6. He caught
them together at a local motel. He
reported them, and he was demoted to teacher at an area high school in
2011. He did that for about three years,
with nary a peep heard about him. But
then he thought he was good enough to apply for an assistant principal job up
at another school.
He did that job for about two or three years, but just this year he got
promoted to principal. Unbelievable this
harasser was allowed to remain with the district, when in fact he should have
been fired for what he did. His track
record in this regard goes back many, many years. He was known to have sex on campus during
school hours with other faculty. The man
is pure evil.
Anon 7: Colleague at my last Nevada school who lied under oath at my hearing. Took off with her husband to Canada about a
month-and-a-half after my hearing.
Anon 8: Speech pathologist at my last Nevada school who was Anon 4's “useful idiot.” She was off-her-rocker batshit crazy. She, too, was willing to lie for Anon 4 at
the hearing, but she was kicked out of there after about two or three minutes
of testimony. Still employed with the
district, but she is currently at an elementary school in Sparks,
where she has been for several years.
For a couple of years she would follow me around on the internet trying
to rub it in, just like the immature idiot she is, until I got fed up with her
and sent her a nasty email in 2012. She
never pulled her little shit ever again.
No way in hell will
any of these people ever be forgiven for what they did to me.
In the meantime, I will likely have to work until I die. I still have a fear of applying for teaching positions because of the weeding out questions on the applications. My age also works against me.
