Salvation Army Clitheroe

Started working in Men's Residential unit

January 17
Started working full time Detox and part time Residential.
Now awaiting full medical benefits. See October 18.
January 18 to June 12 Timeline B Here.

June 8

• The supervisor says my medical benefits are being denied again for 30 more days.

June 11

• I gave notice that my last day will be June 15.

Late July

• Filed for unemployment. Unemployment asks why I quit. I tell them.

August 7

• Alaska Dept of Labor asks for a more detailed explanation, and an email.

August 8

• Alaska Dept of Labor asks me to send the email several times. They also ask for a faxed copy.

August 9

• Alaska Dept. of Labor discusses by telephone the reasons for quitting. Audio (26 sec) They ask Clitheroe to respond.

August 10

• Detox closes. (news article)

August 16

• I am penalized by unemployment for quitting "without cause", and ask for a hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to determine if quitting was an unreasonable act.

September 14

• Two Salvation Army Directors participate in the hearing.

• They spent a lot of time discussing my "improper" use of a Salvation Army computer. (I had gotten treatment center information for a client without asking permission.) The Director lists my options outlined on "page 54" of the employee handbook. Audio

September 19

• I lose the appeal hearing (but I get some audio files for akweb.org). The decision says I am at fault because I did not try to pursue a remedy within the Salvation Army. [There was literally no Director who was capable of challenging any decision by another Director, no matter how absurd the decision was].

October 18

• I received copies of some papers I requested from my personnel file. One paper from January promises me the medical benefits that were still being denied in June. It is the only paper I received that is photocopied so poorly that it is almost unreadable.

"Employee moves from OC position to FT 40/hrs wk with full benefits $12.50/Hr effective 01-17-06"

Click here for a very large, high res scan. It is signed 01-22-07 by the Assistant Director.

• Missing is a pre-employment paper I was asked to sign, on 11/15/06, by two Residential Directors. It just says that I did not want "accommodations" for my "disability". If the paper had been included in those given me, I would have probably ignored it. The fact that it is missing makes it noticeable.

October 22

• Christmas comes early to Anchorage.

"Point Woronzof to Mission Control. We have a problem."
"This is Mission Control. Go ahead Point Woronzof."
"That little shithead psycho has a website."
"Which little shithead psycho?? Hillary Clinton?? "
"No, that creepy little shit that was whining about medical benefits."
"Roger that Point Woronzof. Everyone has a website. This is 2007. Get back to work."

October 23

• Clitheroe Supervisors / Directors have downloaded over 45 mb of files from akweb.org. Between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. 2 Clitheroe computers downloaded over 35.47 megabytes from akweb.org. (computer ip addresses 209.241.220.227 and 66.223.251.228)
  

October 23

• The Clitheroe supervisor at 209.241.220.227 logged back in at 5:26 p.m. Two different Clitheroe Directors (A.C., D.S.) used that ip address to send emails in August. That person spent 7 minutes 18 seconds on the Computers page, and then moved on.

October 24

• 66.223.251.228 has taken the lead in files downloaded  by a supervisor in 24 hrs.
  There is evidently one Clitheroe supervisor who takes overtime seriously. 
• A tip of the hat.
