fifty minutes of interview with GG<\/a>. I’ve linked pieces of it before. This is said to be the whole thing, and I recommend it. <\/p>\n***<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, this happened. <\/p>\n
I was contacted by an employee of my last employer, someone it seems who is fairly new and fairly high up there. The first mails she sent were (in retrospect) routine inquiries, about whether my Unemployment Insurance claims since a year ago were legit, or maybe fraudulent? It was sort of like a question of whether my identity had been stolen–maybe, this is all conjecture on my part. <\/p>\n
I was suspicious of her motives at first. But she kept on and stayed true, best I could tell. <\/p>\n
This is the last thing I sent her.<\/p>\n

Thank you (Director First Name). I’m convinced that your individual compassion and humanity are genuine, and that your sense of what’s right is equally real.<\/p>\n
That is not the case throughout the administration you work for and that I formerly worked for.<\/p>\n
In some office nearby you, colleagues have been working for a long time on how they can spin things to DES to deny me UI benefits. They’ve succeeded in doing so for over five full months to date, and the odds are that they will succeed permanently.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if there’s anything you could do to be of assistance, but trying to view things from an impartial friend’s point of view, I would advise you against trying.<\/p>\n
You don’t owe me anything, and trying to help me would likely only cause blowback upon yourself, without any real good coming of it.<\/p>\n
I sincerely wish you well in your future endeavors.<\/p>\n
Regards, <\/p>\n
