Subject: RE: Cynowa - Pltf's
Motion for Leave to File Second Amd. Complt & proposed Second Amd Complt
Btw, I am of German, Irish, Scottish and
a smidgen of American Indian descent so neither the Pollack or Dago reference
were personal to me. My issue with such statements at a company party is
they are derogatory regarding particular ethnicities. This cannot be
allowed by an employer. To not take such references seriously would
basically endorse them. As a matter of business practice I disciplined a
corporate management employee in Omaha
for using ethnic slurs at yet another Christmas party. (Is it any wonder
that I am not overly enthusiastic about holiday parties??) The management
employee was put on a PIP, given sensitivity training and assigned a mentor
within the firm. He was a valued senior individual and needed to learn to
be more sensitive to others and how he conducts himself in a professional
environment. So this treatment of Cynowa was not personal to cynowa ith
was merely the right thing to do. The fact that Slater defended Cynowa's
statements does not drive company policy regarding ethnic slurs.
Mr. Cynowa's technical skills were never in question, his
professional demeanor (the lack thereof) was the issue.
It is unlikely that Mr. Slater made taunting statements, it
is completely counter to his personality style.
Btw, in the email from Randy Padal, the Larry mentioned is
not Mr. Carver it is the PM prior to Mr. Slater. His name is Larry
McKeehan and he was let go for cause.
Since it is unverifiable that Slater repeated any statements
to anyone it is probably more likely that Mr. Cynowa made statements to to
others about his belief that slater believed he had a gun thereby damaging his
own reputation.
Lisa and Bill,
Attached is Cynowa’s motion for
leave to amend his complaint along with the proposed second amended
complaint. Our response to the motion is due May 5.
