They Keep Looping Her In, and It's Not a Mistake

Today I received yet another email from a Venture Forthe payroll administrator. And once again, the Director of Human Resources, Shannon Solazzo was added to the thread — the same individual named repeatedly in my internal complaints, the same person at the center of my legal demand, and the same name I've made crystal clear should not be involved in any part of my ongoing communication with the company.

This time, it was Anne Marie Dunning, a payroll staffer who had already crossed a serious boundary by “impersonating” my account in Paylocity to access and screenshot my payroll data without permission. Instead of responding solely to me or resolving the matter professionally, Anne chose to escalate the thread and involve Shannon — a person whose direct participation in this process is not only inappropriate, but deeply unethical given the nature of my allegations.

Let’s be honest. This isn’t a clerical oversight. It’s a pattern.

When someone is named in a formal complaint and then continues to be looped into communication about that very complaint — or worse, into issues that stem from the retaliation I already endured — it’s not just tone-deaf. It’s corrosive. It sends a clear message: “We’re not taking your concerns seriously. In fact, we’re doubling down.”

No one is “accidentally” CC’ing Shannon anymore.

I want readers — and investigators — to understand that this is how psychological retaliation often looks. Not always loud. Not always direct. But it wears you down. It’s the quiet reintroduction of the very players you're trying to move on from. It’s the erasure of boundaries you’ve already tried to set. And it’s all done under the guise of “helping.”

But I’ve seen the pattern. And I’m naming it.

This isn’t help. This is harm — dressed in admin access and company email signatures.
