Wow, I just returned here. The point I have here is this: When they did not know my race, I had plenty of work and was going to work long term. Once they knew my race, I was terminated. Everything else stayed the same. There was no evaluation of my work period. This has never happened to me. Zero. Usually, my work is evaluated, they say improve or it is satisfactory, and there is a process. This time, no process. It makes absolutely no sense. That and given that my team members live in Arizona and were all Tea Partiers, they admited this to me when they thought I was white, gives me additional reason to believe this is racism. Already submitted the computer to a lawyer and preparing for litigation.
@Brenda: And that would be...? Give me the reason. I have been thinking about it in my mind again and again. There is no other reason. When I told Wells Fargo that I would be using their emails against them in a Racial Discrimination suit, they went bonkers trying everything they could to get the computer back. However, they don't know where I live so there is nothing they can do. When a company starts using power, instead of negociation, it usually means the claims are true. The fact that they said I could have as long as I needed in training to get the job done, and then fired me without evaluation, is all the proof I need.
@Peter: You really are an ###-hat. I spend over $10, 000 of my own money in this area and since 2004, I have grossed over $300, 000 in related work. Jealous? Don't talk too much or you will munch on your own booty! I always pay for my own training. It is apart of my professionalim. As I read your comments, I wonder if you are the child left behind. I would be worried if I were you. Discrimination against idiots and ###-hats is perfectly legal in this country. Discrimination against well educated and professional Black men is not.
@Peter: No meltdown. Just calling you an [censored]. If you can't handle that, I recommend www.disney.com or perhaps the Smurfs are more your style. Been reading some of your comments in other places and yep, you are the kid left behind. If you can't take it, there are other boards for ya... ;-)
@impudent1 - Really, don't have the skills? Show it to me honey. Japan is the world's #1 implementer of ISO27001 and BS7799 and I lived there 12.5 years. I worked with this standard there from 2003 until 2010, when I returned back to the States. Hummm... maybe there were 2 kids left behind.
@Jbfirebird: I was advised by a lawyer to keep the computer and back up the pst file as evidence, until we figure out what to do. Banks can't erase emails for 7 years. So, having the emails on the client as evidence is super necessary. Without it, true heresay. I mean, you say email is server based so... are you claiming that the emails were not downloaded to the local Outlook client? If there were true, I would have given them back their asset asap since I wouldn't have anything lol. I'm an MCSE. I know what I am doing in this area. Funny thing is... I never signed any documents with WF saying that I would return their property. They asked me to sign such documents on the first day but I never had the time to submit. They should have made me sign everything before I started work. Another HR problem. And all of their privacy documents, I never signed them either. I just never had any time. So... I never even signed a document claiming that I had recieved the computer. YA know what I mean? In my company, my person company I own in Japan, I made sure everyone signed everything before day 1!
@Peter: Just to remind you again, yes you are an ### hat ;-P
At least she has a dollar to save.
You are expendable also Impudent!
Nephew should sit down on impudent's face can make it happen!
@Peter: Both of my parents are dead... Mom died of cancer and father had a heart attack the same day and passed away within 6 hours. Man the more you talk, the more I am convinced that yes indeed, you are the kid left behind working as a janitor. It's okay little boy, discrimination against you is justified.
I never said I was victim. Death is death. It happens. My son died as well. And that is life. Never a victim. I survive. I had plenty of discrimination in Japan and I did not care. Here, I can do something about it. And Kool-Aid, that is for janitors. Do you want a few packs? I drink water and Decaf Latte.
@Romelle: Is that what you call your customers behind their backs? Ah... too bad. You must really loathe them. Both of my parents were white and I am half white so...your comment is totally out of context. Perhaps you want to go back to Peter and service him now.
You idiot, there is nothing photoshop has to do with a pst file. Do you even know what I am talking about? Do you understand how Outlook stores email? That is it is actually a database? Do you understand this? Do you even know where it is located on your computer? Every email has a number and this number can be tracked back to the server as well as to the original sender, especially if the sender was using a public IP and/or if the IP was not altered during transmission. Dude... you have no clue about IT. I mean, using Photoshop to alter a database is utterly stupid. Better to just change the text in the files of the database however, then the numbering would be different and the possiblity of the database become unstable is very high. So, who would do that? Do you have any clue how email works? How is it stored? No... you are totally clueless aren't you? Using image altering software for databases and text? LOL! Okay, I forgive you since you have no idea what you are talking about. And there is always an audit trail in a bank. Always. End of story. Shoot, there is always an audit trail for every email sent period as long as you can get to the server. Even deleted mails can be recovered. And... I will return the computer, of course, once we figure out how to handle it.
At the end of the day, you remain forgiven for being so ignorant about email systems. Every set up an exchange server? How about done forensics on one? I have. Plenty of times. You, like more people, just want minorities to stay in their place and be silent right? Well, I won't be silent. Others struggled so that I could have the freedoms I have today and now I get to contribute to that struggle so that others can have it easier.
@Ramelle: The lawyer is doing this for free.
"This letter" is... you mean don't post here?
@Kevin: Hey, I thought I recognized you from Wells Fargo!
None of my family members are Black either. They are all White or Japanese.
