They Found Time for the Towels

I emailed to return a laptop, power cord, cell phone, and a dozen mannequin-use towels.

The president himself responded - almost immediately. He found time for that.

But my sexual harassment complaint? My formal legal demands? Ignored.

No response about who marked me as "resigned."

No update on my missing personnel file.

No answers to multiple deadlines.

And yes - those towels? I was expected to haul them to a laundromat and wash them. They paid me for it, sure. But it was degrading.

He found time for the towels. But not for the truth.

This Is How They Responded

Not long after I raised this serious concern, I was called into a Google meeting with my direct supervisor and a high-ranking administrator.  But the issue I had flagged? They didn't even mention it.  I had to bring it up myself- calmly, professionally. They showed no intention of addressing it. Instead, the conversation quickly turned towards me. I was told that I appeared "unempathetic" and "unapproachable"- not to them, but to my students. No names. No specific examples. Just a vague criticism, dropped like a warning. I responded clearly, "My students reviews speak for themselves "  And in that moment, they backed off. The tone shifted. The accusation didn't hold- because it couldn't.  When I attempted to explain what had been happening with the two students in question- facts I had written down- they interrupted me. I wasn't angry or emotional. I was prepared. They didn't want to hear it. My supervisor then added something else: tha...

The Truth Will Not Be Silenced

Image
The article went live. It named the company. It told the truth. And just like that — it was gone. WNY News Now published a professional, factual piece about what happened to me at Venture Forthe. It exposed how I was given a sex toy to use in a medical training class, how I objected, and how I was retaliated against until I had no choice but to leave. The article explained my story clearly — and it showed the public what I’ve been saying all along. It was up long enough to be seen, shared, reacted to, and commented on. And then, without warning, it disappeared. No explanation. No correction. Just wiped from the site. But here’s the thing: removing the article won’t erase what happened to me. They might be able to silence one post, but they can’t silence me . I’ve documented everything. I have screenshots. Timelines. Emails. I’ve filed complaints. I’ve kept records. I’ve told the truth from day one. And I’m not backing down. I’m not waiting for anyone else to speak for me. I’ll ke...

Retaliation Continues as I Attempt to Record the Past

This morning  I sat down to continue my timeline. Specifically, a black-out incident that occurred earlier in April.  Instead,  I encountered something new... I logged into my Paylocity account to check my recent pay stub and was met with a red message: "Account is Inactive." No notice. No explanation. No alternative access provided. I haven't received a termination letter, and I constructively discharged myself on 5/22/25, after months of retaliation. Regardless of how employment ends, employers are legally required to provide access to wage records and tax documentation.  I immediately sent a formal request to HR with a screenshot of the lockout. I was just trying to continue telling my story. But this story keeps writing itself. --K
