Wrongful Termination
I was a very successful teacher at Porter & Chester Institute of Branford teaching the Night Computer Courses for A+, MCP, and other computer courses. All my students under my teachings have passed with flying colors... but I was let go because I had made a complaint to the director that the day instructor - department head was harassing me and making me feel uncomfortable by his behavior... Director said he would look into it and resolve the issue... he decided to let me go because of "Lack of Enrollment" turns out that the day instructor wanted me out of there since day one so he can get his best friend into my position. This isn't an assumption, this is fact. This is a clear form of Nepotism. Also, around the same time I had made the director aware of how Dave Marcin (Day instructor - department head) was running the computer classes... Using pirated software for the servers, workstations etc. I think this also had something to do with my
termination. Since then, I had reported this to both Microsoft and BSA. They are right now, still using pirated software in the computer classes. I'm still in contact with alot of my former students, and they are outraged by this whole situation but feel powerless because the school basically told them that its their way or else.

Whats really going on ?
All I can say at this point is there might be something strange going on. At a certain location I recently go suspended from as a security guard. Between a tow company and the security company I was suspended from. When I reported my story to consumer affairs I was suspended. Something funny might be going on. The property manager on this location said in a memo to all security guards.Don't tow cars .If a person establishes patronage.They are considered customers.This means just a receipt.Yet I was recently replaced.The excuse is some guy came off of medical leave.They possibly were reffering to the Family Leave Act.Yet I read it.It states a employee is allowed to be ( reinstated )is entitled to ( same ( pay )is entitled to ( same ) ( OR ) ( Comparable job position ).So I looked up the word com[parable. It does not mean : The exact same. It does not mean identical, it does not mean absolutely the same. So the company took me off my job.Leaving me only with twelve hours.However;When I reported on consumer affairs. They suspended me. Some customers have been towed and have established patronage. Yet the security guard said something strange.If any one asks you about their car, don't say anything .Just give them a business card with the name of the tow company.When I recently met with the opperations manager and the vice president.The vice president just kept saying,"You're going to cost me alot of money." I reminded him. Sir ,"I've towed a car from this establishment from a customer that had a receipt. The vice president was very angry.This same security guard has been here about ten years.I some how suspect something strange is going on. Also they do have signs posted for speacial events. Yet what is very strange issmilies/sad.gif THE SIGN ONLY SAYS: NO EVENT PARKING) IT SHOULD READ: ( NO EVENT PARKING UNLESS YOU ESTABLISH PATRONAGE NOW YOU ARE A CUSTOMER ) SO IN A WAY ITS NOT PROVIDING FULL DISCLOSURE.OF WHAT THE PROPERTY MANAGER STATED IN HIS MEMO.I don't know how victims there have been over the years.Its $250.00 for a person to get their car out of where they take it. If a person has a receipt they still have to go get and hunt for their car. When ever they find it. They don't have to pay the fee. The opperations manager said,"Mistakes have happend." He never stated what procedures have been implimented to correct this misconduct or harrassment, or in competance." The same guard is still in charge. But something strange might or could be going on.I shared this story with some gentleman. He asked me. Why did you're vice president of this security company keep saying you're going to cost him lots of money ?
