The Corrupt Players in Kaiser HR
I've already blogged on this many times, but I've been asked again why I have an issue with Kaiser HR.

My issue is that Kaiser HR actively covered up what my managers (illegally) did to me by shredding email (or lying about destruction of evidence), withholding the questions that were on the table so I couldn't defend myself, failing to specify whether the evidence I had requested actually made it into my case folder, ignoring documented as well as internal contradiction evidence of managerial lies, ignoring deadlines provided to me, ignoring its own multiple policies on retaliation, failing to direct me to the right HR process in the first place, and also deflecting my attempt to get help from HR before I was terminated (even though I was referred to them by the Employee Assistance Program). In short, HR deliberately mystified and manipulated their process in order to aid and protect dishonest managers.

Is that enough of a reason to be a bit miffed?

How about receiving the "final decision" letter, which contained more *provable* lies, the day after Christmas. That means I was waiting for their reply throughout Christmas day. After seven months of waiting and hoping that some ethical part of the process would finally kick in.

My understanding is that victims of malpractice experience the same thing in Kaiser's Arbitration Process: Kaiser takes advantage of its superior experience and internal knowledge of the process, and it seeks to destroy the victim with the complaint instead of taking responsibility for damage done. Kaiser also uses every stall tactic in the book, from refusing to release medical records to "not counting" large time periods in the calculation of deadlines.

Just in case my particular situation was due to the unethical behavior of a few randomly awful people who were not following the unwritten rules of Kaiser HR, here are the specific evildoers involved:

Kaiser HR Reps: Don Richmond, Tom James, Shryel Joe.
Kaiser HR Rep who knew the truth yet stood by and did nothing: Julie Bindi
Kaiser's Phony Investigation Committee: Pat Kendall, Katie Ricklefs, Diane Easterwood

Kaiser Corporate Compliance: feel free to do your job and ask these people some pertinent questions about why they feel compliance is optional in the treatment of lower rank employees.
