Please provide a brief explanation of the concern, issue, or question you would like to address with the Ombuds.
I appreciate the President taking the time to value those of us with disabilities however I honestly do not believe there are those in the state of Texas who understand what intellectual disabilities means. I was grossly discriminated against and I never received accommodations from my previous employer.
Both supervisors (Patricia Foster and John Barker) made ridiculous comments regarding my disabilities stating I should have made them aware of it during my initial interview with them. I finally recorded them discussing this during a Teams meeting so yes, I have documented evidence.
Gulf Coast Region 5 is so corrupt!
What are your goals for working with the Ombuds?
I hope that they would investigate or at least send someone in to investigate this situation. I would not want another person to fall victim to the same type of mistreatment I endured during my time with Texas Workforce Commission.
Also remove said supervisors along with Susan Lindsay from leadership and maybe that will assist with the corruption.
Issue Type
Employee Discrimination
