Employees at UCSD Moores Cancer Center complain of abuse
Adding to the River of Tears write up I forgot one more comment on the UCSD horrible treatment to me dated 5-20-08. I never thought it was possible when I saw trouble looming, but everyone of MY DUE PROCESS where violated and I mean "ALL" of them. Never once did labor relations bother for one moment to call me in and ask what was wrong! When I was expected to see them (labor relations) by order of their Director Doug Stauffer and assosiate Director Denise Goodrich-- I never received my legal representative (union rep Jhon Connors and Tony Servantes) during the entire ordeal that lasted months! Imagine that kind of crap happening to you! This is a Columbine in the makings! It was clear after many intimidations by their staff that on the last day I was asked to leave the department, my legal representative never came into the room to make his presence known to me. After making the decision to leave under severe pressure and against my will, the union representative came into the room from next door accepting the transfer. I realized at that point the UNION SETC had closed deals behind my back! I was truly alone! Two months after I left it was clear why all this was happening—three of the four people that where slandering me got promotions!— May 20, 2008 4:07 p.m.
Employees at UCSD Moores Cancer Center complain of abuse
I went through a much more humiliating process at UCSD then this story you wrote. Those whom have worked here for many years, like me, have known this place to be a very unethical and dishonest organization and a microcosm of this unjust government. The labor Relations does everything in its power to abuse its power and misguide and ruin career employees-as they tried to do to me. This is a system you cannot hold those with authority accountable for their actions, because if you do, they will us their power to discard you as garbage-- knowing the public will never know. I should know because I stood up to Mr Lickwig (CEO of UCSD Hillcrest Hospital) and his right hand thug director Denise Goodrich and they made every effort to screw me over for disclosing their incompantancies! It’s been two years they shut me up, butI am as angry as ever, and I demand compensation from these unethical asses. There is no wonder why --people have been suing this place every chance they have. The University (UCSD) uses our endless supply of tax dollars to pay for the best attorneys to screw the very people that run its facilities and built our towns and schools, and when their wrong they settle out of court ordering you to shut up and keep the dirty secrets away from the public ear! This hypocrit governing system has been in the self distrust mode for a long time and I am completely appalled by this government as a whole-- ever since I worked in this damed place! It doesn’t surprise me why I hear so much hate at this place. After working more than twenty years at UCSD I have come to realize how out of control this government has become. I will never trust this government again, thanks to this pompous institution and its dishonest capitalist pigs at UCSD! I believe this government will ultimately fail from its own internal forces as well as those abroad, because it goes against the morality of people in general. If you really care,please contact me, I wrote a diary about my humiliating ordeal at UCSD. I ask anyone that is contributing to this system to stop doing so, until a public hearing through a private neutral party is in place-- to monitor them for many years- to ensure we will survive as a nation-- or there is no hope. I would deeply suggest that an internal investigation be folowed up on all employees terminated from the UC sys. I can gaurantee you will find a lot of horrible things! 5-20-08— May 20, 2008 12:38 p.m.
