The Penny Whistle Blower

Dear Sir or Madame:

This correspondence is in response to your determination of denial of benefits dated 4/30/09.

Why do you refer to yourselves as The Department of “Labor”? It is apparent your interests remain solely with employers. Labor has no voice or representation within your agency. Your letter indicates that your fact finding consists of statements made by YAP Inc. Your determination is based on what YAP Inc. has told you. No one from your agency has contacted me or shown interest in the circumstances of my coerced and bullied resignation. No one in your department is aware of the hostile work environment at Seneca Co. YAP lead by regional director Casey Lane who routinely threatens and makes false allegations against employees. No one in your department is aware that Seneca Co. YAP nearly lost its contract with Seneca County DSS because of Mr. Lane's mis-management and lack of professionalism. No one in your agency has checked the statistical turn-over rate of employees at Seneca County YAP is possibly the highest of any Seneca County employer. No one in your agency is aware of the breaches in security concerning confidential information concerning juvenile sexual offenders released into the community through the Office of Child and Family Services who has contracted with Seneca County YAP. No one in your agency appears to be aware of the security breaches of confidential information of Seneca County YAP clients. No one in your office apparently is aware of the poor judgment used by senior management concerning hiring of Staff that is not qualified to work in the field of human services and with adolescents.

The fact remains that YAP INC lied to your agency when they originally stated they were unaware of why I am not employed with them. Their lie has now changed to benefit their interests and yours. In the real world if a lie is told all subsequent statements are suspect. In your agency perjury by employers is acceptable.

I am withdrawing my request for a fair hearing to ask for benefits. It would not be a fair it would be a circus and you people would be the clowns. Do your “impartial” adjudicators arrive at hearings in tiny taxpayer funded vehicles exiting one at a time by the dozens to put out employer/employee fires with pails of shredded paper? As an accredited human service professional it is my recommendation that you use your taxpayer funded health benefits to visit a proctologist and schedule an emergency headorectomy. I have taken exception to the rude, accusatory and punitive language used by you in your correspondence. Perhaps I will take my concerns about YAP Inc. to the NYS Attorney General's office as well as to the Office of Child and Family Services, Seneca County DSS, and the Seneca County District Attorney's Office. Perhaps they will be interested concerning missing/pilfered confidential information about juvenile sexual offenders and suspected irregularities in billing practices used by YAP INC.

Sincerely,

Bill
