Must Have Hit a Nerve

When someone mocks your trauma to defend a corporation, they're not seeking truth - they're trying to bury it.

When the only way they can respond is sarcasm, gaslighting, or minimizing what happened, that's not strength. That's fear.

Digital footprints are a lot louder than you think. -- K

They Thought a Denial Would Shut Me Up. Wrong Move.

After six weeks of certifying and unsuccessfully calling the Department of Labor nearly every day to try to speak to an actual person - sometimes multiple times a day - I finally got their decision. And let me tell you, it reads like it was written in crayon. Here’s exactly what they said:  “You are disqualified under Section 593.1 of the Unemployment Insurance Law because  you quit your job without good cause.” Then they doubled down with this insulting explanation: “You quit due to dissatisfaction with the actions of your employer. Although you state you  were forced to resign, the available information shows that your separation from  employment was voluntary and you have not shown that you had a compelling reason for  resigning.” That’s it. No reference to the hostile environment. No mention of the retaliation. No acknowledgment that I submitted a paper trail, formal complaints, timelines, witness names, and photographic evidence. No mention that I was ghos...
