Salvation Army Clitheroe

I started working in the Men's Residential unit

January 17
I started working full time in Detox (and continued part time in Residential).
Now I am 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.
