The Ears Have It!

Sep30 by Linda Ballard

All in favor say AYE. Eye! Sorry, the EARS Have it. How did that happen? You were not listening. Listening in itself is a monumental skill. But! No Buts! You had your back turned. As soon as the voice open up you could hear the Hater-Aid coming through. When your back was turned it gave the person on the other side a chance to not be judged harshly. Visual contact is a monster. Once we see a person doesn’t quite fit the mold we quickly throw them to the wind without even giving the person a chance to fall on our deaf ears. For real! Absolutely! There are many people who can’t judge a person and become very trusting of what they hear. Why? Well, there are some people who don’t explore the world around them. Information gathered from others can be taken as believable because the person or persons cannot hear the tone in their voice, read their facial expression, or decipher their body language. Thank you for the information because I’m one of those people. I knew it! I knew it! I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Shall I continue? Do your thing Ellery Queen.

What is achieved scholastically is based on what is communicated through our speech, conversation, writing, words, DEBATES, talking, and vocabulary? Come on down front, grab a plate of pot roast, serve yourself some buttered cornbread and just say plain old “Language.” We need a big measuring cup to measure the Intelligence of nonverbal and verbal characteristic. We tend to fall short by completely ignoring the nonverbal deficits which will brand the individual as troubled or as a problem. Language plays a big part in our daily lives. Competency of an individual is judged by their verbal proficiencies. You got your smooth talkers out there who appear to be more credible than the mumble jumble grammar makers and those who fall short on their vocabulary. The smooth talker could be just a smooth talker and have trouble with reading, spelling, and expressive language. The same smooth talker can have problems in the areas of organization, attention, social understanding, anxiety and fear, nonverbal and spatial thinking, motor coordination, math, and handwriting.

So what is it we need to do? Understanding and giving Recognition to the Unrecognized is key. We got to make sure the right diagnosis is given. Pay very close attention to what you hear and what is being said. Remember the Ears Have it. There is such an inadequate awareness of hidden causes to people who suffer from neurological disorders and are labeled behavior problems and emotionally disturbed. You mean to tell me they are not. “NOT!” I recently kept hearing the word “NOT” in a DEBATE. We will “NOT” get this confused with people who are UNINTELLIGENT with INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS. Based on what the Eyes saw and what the Ears heard, the Ears Have It. Why? What the people heard was a bunch of BS. From the answers given was from an Emotionally Disturbed individual. In no way, shape, or form can he use this story against the Intelligent Individual. “NOT” even the part stating the smooth talker with strong verbal language proficiencies. How will you lock it down in this story? Simple! I saw her medical chart. It came from the HILL 🙂 either way. It indicated she was “NOT” a Behavior Problem, “NOT” Emotionally Disturbed, Mental Processing had no blemishes. Yes, I just violated the HIPAA law. Well, Bill won’t mine he signed it in 1996. Okay! So this is what needs to be revealed about Unintentional Behaviors.

What I want Jay T, Robert, and the rest of Kool and The Gang to know is for many years you guys compensated your non-verbal weakness and used language skills in its place which gave a false impression. To your teachers, it appeared to be no problems in your early years of schooling. As time went on it became obvious other problems raised their ugly head. The anxiety and fear kicked in and everyone started labeling you guys as behavior problems. See, you proved them all wrong. Yelp, it was said time and time again y’ all talk too much. I was fully aware you relied on speech to cope with relating to people socially, information gathering, and coping with anxiety. The core problem that exists is gathering multiple pieces of information and pulling them together to form a single idea. Now it becomes a whole picture and all those pieces of information lock the puzzle together.

Resources are slim in the public and private sector. There are many doctors who never heard or have a clue about NLD Syndrome nor professionals in education, A syndrome that was discovered back in the early part of 1970 was considered as low-incidence because someone dropped Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball and failed to continue to test more individuals. This is the first time you mentioned the name. People act as though this diagnosis is a death sentence. “NOT!” It was like being on the Voice. When my chair turned I knew the person standing in front of me behaviors could be explained. Whatever behaviors had been displayed and the audience reacted negatively to were UNINTENTIONAL. The Ears Have It! So listen carefully while the Eyes read it. Please take this time and cruise through the Archives of NLD Recognition. There is so much to learn and I promise you will not be left in a fog. Well, I know you made me feel a lot better about myself. I feel there is so much hope and people will begin to listen to me. Their Ears Have It. I will never forget what Dr. Monica Kurylo from the University of Kansas Medical Center gave me. She gave me a book by Jim Wooten named We Are All The Same. I will cherish that book for a lifetime. Dr. Albert Buddy Poje of the University of Kansas Medical Center was so instrumental in my life. He told me any behavior is Intentional unless proven otherwise. These are the Nu-Waves Physicians and their Ears Have It.

2016 NLD___Reverse Mode

Apr30 by Linda Ballard

You click on and you saw What? I saw the poem Through It All. I went back to the story, The Five Days Before Christmas and at the very bottom, it said 2016 NLD__Reverse Mode Coming Soon. What did you do after that? I pulled out my iPhone and Googled NLD Recognition. When the site rolled up I saw NLD Recognition and We Need To Rethink the Way We Think. Underneath the titles, it had Snitch This. So I went to Yahoo and it said May 2011 <<NLD Recognition>> and April 2011 <<NLD Recognition>>. Did you find what you were looking for? First, let me say this. Okay! You update all the time so Yahoo and Bing need to place 2016 or start putting your most recent titles out there. I learned a lot from the story The Five Days Before Christmas. That story was written in January 2016. Girlfriend, talking about a BOOTY-SCORCHER! You are going to have Employment Attorneys lined up everywhere. I rather sit in front of a Senate Investigating Committee or speak out to the Supreme Court on how Corporations Violate the rights of their employees. Honestly! I don’t think you are doing too bad pointing out INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS vs UNINTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS. Throughout this blog, you have made some hella-fide comparison and contrast to the Opposite End Of The Spectrum (the so-called normal folks) to the Flip Side Of The Chart (folks with neurological or behavioral diagnoses). Boo Boo, you covered some ground.

What I love about this blog you INCLUDED the government, corporations, media, sports world, entertainment world, LGBT community. You spotlighted, women rights, Black Lives Matter, gun violence, and children/adults with disabilities. Hold up, partner. Hold Up! Whatever word you would like to use, society stigmatizes, condemn, and reach down into hell’s fire pit to label people disabled. This is exactly why so many people fail to reach out because of the Shame, Humiliation, and Guilt. Be it medical or psychological, Intervention is mandatory and the path to discovery. Intervention is the path to health and recovery. Oh! Did I trigger your behavior? Are you Having a PURPLE RAIN MOMENT? No! I’m having a Let’s, Go Crazy Moment. Help me LAWD! Just a friendly reminder to society for those individuals who are labeled as disabled can be viewed through another lens. These are the people with extraordinary minds, unique abilities, and multi-level learning styles. I said it once and I will repeat it a thousand times. All-righty Girlfriend! Did I touch off a nerve? No! You Pissed Me Off. More neurons were involved. Big Difference!.

Thank you for bringing up Prince’s song. He was Mr. Edwardian Architect. He was the creator of kicking Traditional to the curb. Prince Body Language was definitely a Sign of the Times. Prince personality was one of a Good-Hearted King. He owns the title better known as your Royal Purpleness. He mastered the art of caring. His sharing was prolific. Van Jones has made it clear that it should be POINTED OUT Prince was not only the man out in front of his music but an Iconic Philanthropist who held many keys and open many doors. Prince style was built from boulders of confidence. Brick by brick and stone by stone he endured hurt and pain. Prince rose to the occasion of becoming better and not bitter. He was the Pied Piper of Diversity. The colors Prince bathe his life it was the representation of inclusion. Even Prince the Genius was excluded because of his unique dress did not impress nor did it fit in with the average rocker. Clothing is on the top 100 Bill Board of Non-Verbal Communication. Clothing speaks when words aren’t present. It was his flair, the ability to change in style and in his music.

Humanity was served on Prince’s versatile guitars, pianos, and the multiple instruments which he charmed our hearts and mesmerized our minds. After all, he served the people. Was he viewed through the lens of being weird and strange? Absolutely? Prince represented the Purple EMOJI of Self Confidence wrapped in a cloud of INDIVIDUALITY. Different is OKAY. The Royal Purpleness in all his shyness roared letting nothing stand in his way of building his dream. In return, he helps many people build their dreams. In the face of disaster, Prince suited up and rescued the needy from their nightmares. Fabrics of purple silk ripple in the high winds now flying at half-mast. The lesson Prince bestowed upon me was Wear You, Be For Real With You, Accept You, You are You, Be ever so Merciful To You and Others.

This brings me to the question again. Did you find the story 2016 NLD__Reverse Mode? No, I didn’t. The story is taking place right here right now. How is that possible? It’s happening all around us on a daily basis. We see it all the time yet we ignore or take it for granted. People who are put under the microscope, viewed differently, condemned, punished, and isolated for being born with neurological disorders and Unintentional Behaviors do not choose to fail. NLD Syndrome is an excellent example of neurological disorders whereabout people who are diagnosed with this particular disorder aren’t Emotionally disturbed or behavioral problems. Let’s get it, straight people. When you see the word neurological connect the dots to the nervous system. Before I go any further NLD (Nonverbal Learning Disability) encompass three areas: Social, Motoric, and Visual-Spatial.

Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD) is a developmental disability in which the individual demonstrates a mature vocabulary, rote memory skills, and an excellent reading ability, Children/adults have a difficult time interacting with others, transitioning to new settings, working with new people, trouble with writing/fine motor coordination.

1.) motor impairment-causing difficulty in tasks that requires dexterity, manipulating small objects, coordinated handling tasks, such as writing, typing, and buttoning buttons

2.) attentional deficits-causing difficulty in coping with over-stimulating or distracting environments and requiring the person to have limited distractions and assistance in focusing oneself.

3.) difficulties in performing multiple tasks simultaneously causing in the individual to only need to do one thing at a time and limit the amount of information he/she can take in at the same time (he/she cannot follow multiple commands given at once).

4.) difficulty organizing material on their own-requiring the person to receive assistance in writing outlines, determining how to sequence/order, and prioritizing, and planning, and transitioning from one idea aspect of a project to another.

5.) visual-perceptual/visual-spatial deficits-difficulty reading maps, differentiating left and right, drawing complex figures, and understanding higher levels of arithmetic (such as geometry).

6.) social miscueing-causing the individual to have difficulty interpreting body language and facial expressions, knowing when the person is too close or too far away from someone with whom he/she is conversing, and understanding pragmatics.

7.) difficulty thinking creatively or abstractly causing the individual to think in “black or white” instead of considering the gray area and to have difficulties being flexible instead of rigid in their ideas.

These character traits with the proper support of family, friends, and other trusted relationships will help the individual EXCEED EXPECTATION. People with Neurological Unintentional Behavior do not wish to fail. Go back and review The Truth About NLD (Nonverbal Learning Disability) And Who It Can Resemble, Who In The World Is NLD?, We Need An Interpreter, Refresher Course NLD and there is so much more. The core problem of NLD Syndrome is putting the pieces of the puzzle together and getting the whole picture. If the whole picture does not come together the BOTTOM LINE will be quite sufficient. The following 7 character traits will be flipped for the Reverse Mode. Let’s see if you get the Whole Picture or the Bottom Line.

Through It All

Mar23 by Linda Ballard

Feelings and continued existence cannot be borrowed.

Bestowing LOVE and precious TIME is monumental throughout loneliness and sorrow.

Developing friends and relationships there will emerge dispute and pleasure.

The memorable TIMES shared can be written down in your ledger.

Distance put between us caused unbearable heartache.

Acknowledging the people you love and lost is not a setback or mistake.

You are allowed the right to grieve, cry, and hurt in your own TIME frame.

No matter how long it takes there is no reason to feel ashamed.

The moment of tragedy can strike at any given time and life lesson will become a teacher to us all.

Death knocked on your doorway, texted you, and sent an email to remind your grief isn’t small.

Every day is respected as a new day because the pain, sorrow, and heartache are not finished.

The greatest Life Lesson to learn is these feelings can be diminished.

We should live our lives in such a way,

Acknowledgment of friends and relationships should come on a regular day.

In the face of adversity, one must show their friend.

Trials and tribulations will strengthen the bond within.

It may take years and years and probably the rest of one’s quality of life accomplishments.

Loss of those we love can open a gateway to appreciating life and not to hoard resentment.

In the darkest hour when trouble arises be there to motivate a friend not to do wrong.

Feed the flames of humanity and give support so they can become strong.

Through it all, reading the ledger became our mighty rock.

Reflections of the days spent together made our hearts go tick-tock.

Through it all, I have felt your presence and never abandonment.

There will be days in our lives we will have petty nonsensical arguments.

Through it all to have a friend who is there through the journey of your plight.

A person so caring and selfless who help you battle your fight.

Through it all, they lifted your spirits and navigated you through an abusive relationship.

The Flag-Ship of Friendship who help lower the anchor on Blame, Guilt, and Detriment.

Through it, all this may come as a surprise to what we can do.

Knowledge, a pure heart, and commitment will help us make it through.

Through it all, we need cheerleaders to point out our faults.

A friend who is willing to hold your hand in the storm and throughout the draught.

Through it all each day of our life we have so much to be thankful for.

You don’t need to be placed on a pedestal when you are a guiding star.

Through it all there are many keys that will unlock tragic moments in our life.

One day a friend will come along to help you get past the pain and strife.

Accountability__ReCap

Feb29 by Linda Ballard

December 2011-Lessons Within A Lesson:

Timelines are really good. They tell a magnificent story. Hanging out at Appreciation Park, Ms. Shirley points out to her co-worker how hard it has been to get promoted because of her age. She points out in the story people with disabilities were not accommodated appropriately. Visit dol.gov for more protected rights. Associates with disabilities are not included and have vanished in the workforce. Their rights are protected under ADA (American Disability Act). Visit United States Department of Labor for more information click on dol.gov. There are so many things wrong at WAL-MART store #2857. The associate lives have been shattered. Their self-esteem has been scattered. The associate’s rights are stripped away. The Associates haven’t the slightest clue of how their rights are violated. Yes! Of course, it really does matter. Awareness will come if the associates are reading.

Associates who are 40+ (Age Discrimination) had gone missing. Many of these associates were Grandfather in. Bullying, intimidation, micromanagement ran amok throughout the store. Who set up this climate change? Associates are set up for Failure and not for Success. The turnover is great. The most used strategy in the store is turning the associates against one another. Cronyism ranks #1. In my neck of the woods, it is called the FBI. This meant you got your job through Family, Bro, and In-Laws. IF YOU ARE NOT THE ANOINTED YOU WON’T BE APPOINTED. How much room is there at the top? Who will get left behind? The Tap on the shoulder can be challenged under hiring practices. This wide range practice is very common at Walmart and throughout Corporate America.

Certain members of management did not like to be questioned. Associates are to follow directives only. Store #2857 is the breeding ground for chaos. Associates were a lockout, forced out, isolated, denied promotions and vacations, wrongfully terminated. Internal Suppression is the Red Carpet and the Walk Of Shame. GOOD MEMBERS of management that could actually train the associates for another level of management have their marching orders. Inside These Walls of Existing Conditions at store #2857, there is a “Climate Change of Fear.” It remains a Pressure Cooker and ignites the fuel of Intimidation. The Gauge goes up and the flames turn into an inferno of Retaliation. The Heat Is On. Certain members of management had more options to cheat, lie, and only worry about their Bonuses and salary. Inequality and Injustice! Yes, Corporate America invested with their investors instead of investing in a human life. It is called Corporate Greed.

Truth is a great Power. Consequences ride by its side. It is up to the individual whether or not if he/she can live with the path they’ve chosen. Lies will Blacken any day. Let your VOICE BE HEARD and Restore Trust. Speak out! Remain true to yourself, credible, respectable, and believable. You have more rights than you think. Our nation was rolling into an election of a new Presidential Candidate in the year of our LORD 2012. The INVESTMENT was placed with We The People. The vote was for THE INTELLIGENT MIND. The OUTCOME was MONUMENTAL Focusing on MONEY only stimulates CORRUPTION. YOU ARE THERE! This is just the beginning.

August 2012-Inside These Walls__Existing Conditions

Do your company understand Diversity? What happens to Inclusion? Who benefits from the company’s policy? Whatever happen to Safety in the workplace? Who is Dr. Larry Barton? Don’t worry, Dr. Larry Barton is strictly a company man. He doesn’t work for the associates. He is Mr. CBL (computer-based learning) of WAL-MART. Dr. Barton’s training is based on shifting all the responsibility on the Problem Associates vs Associates With Problem. Boot camp is over. The associates are not getting brainwashed by Dr. Larry Barton seminar. Dr. Larry Barton failed to teach Management RETALIATION is NOT ACCOUNTABILITY. Dr. Larry Barton states the best Crisis is one we can prevent. What about the crisis which is initiated? Who is the real threat in store #2857? What about the problem with the same Management or certain members of management? Why did the associates become so disgruntled? What did management do for the associates to become UNREASONABLE? Temperature Rising and Global Warming has struck. An Atmosphere of FEAR has been created. By Who? Where did OPPORTUNITY go? Maybe Opportunity ran off with another lover. Valentines Day has passed. Maybe it is time for a new love. There is no love up in the house at Wal-Mart store #2857. No love for all people of a diverse race and culture. Can the associates become successful in Wal-Mart’s World? Say it with me now! If You Are Not The Anointed You Won’t Be Appointed. The associates aren’t the ones with the high-powered attorneys. The associates definitely aren’t packing a psychiatrist that is carrying a roll of quarters in one hand and a pitcher of KOOL-AID in the other hand. There will be no more brainwashing. It’s time for “WHO” to take responsibility. Say it with me now. WAL-MART! You Got It! The associates need an equal playing field. They don’t need HR or Home Office kicking them around like a ball on a played out football field. Dr. Barton needs to be investigated by the Citizen Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) or the associate’s Commission on Human Rights. Either way, this Dude needs to be investigated. Dr. Barton needs to realize laws are made to protect the individuals right against their employers. Review At-Will Employment and Constructive Discharge.

New Hurricane has blown in. I have noticed hurricanes are usually named after ladies. I do recall Hurricane Andrew. NOT GOOD! This hurricane was named after our new store manager. Hurricane Randi. Other members of management call him DADDY! I wouldn’t want a father like that. Nor would I want a MOMMY DEAREST. His undesirable cleaning equipment starts with berating, demeaning, shouting and screaming at his management team. The store manager takes pride in stripping management of their self-esteem. Management then comes to the floor to wax the associates. There is no shine left on the associates behind. The shackles once placed on your feet are shackles placed upon your mind. An ankle bracelet of FEAR, INTIMIDATION, and RETALIATION gets wrapped around the mind of the associates induced by the store manager. The same or certain members of management follow the store managers directives. Management has their CBBD (Coaching BY Beat Down) orders never questioning RIGHT or WRONG of the directives and NEVER standing up for the associates.

RETALIATION is very much alive. DELAY is the waiting game. You think management will get back to the associates. Walmart has a sundown rule. Are you the new star of Pitch Black? Welcome to Van Diesel world. FEAR creeps in. You are all alone and own your own. No responders. It is definitely an unsafe environment. There is only one way. It certainly doesn’t favor the associates. PUNISHMENT is at the top of the ladder. All hell breaks loose. The lies, deceit, and obstruction of justice take its toll. The associate will not be the winner of the VOICE and will not return for the next season.

Violations in the store are monumental. Of course, I know what they are. These violations run the gamut from ATF, OSHA, HEALTH and SAFETY, FIRE CODES and much more. Associates constitutional rights are violated on a daily basis. Human Rights and Civil Rights take a backseat. Violations of this nature are hidden under the carpet. Walmart strategy is to have the associates focus on the money. In the meantime, Walmart will get away with Corporate Greed, Force Arbitration, and the ability to assassinate Class Action Law Suits by getting a PASS. This will ultimately shut down the associates day in court. It is not the VOICE of one injured party but the Voices of the massively injured. Everyone must have their day in court. I have my sword of accountability with me. Management will RETALIATE against you for Reporting to HR and HOME OFFICE. If Walmart says they won’t they are a Ball Face Lie and their Nickname is MIT. Why do you think I have written all of these stories? I am not singing Daryl Hall and John Oates, Say It Isn’t So. I know it is so. I have lived it.

November 2012- Please Proceed__Get The Transcript

The Sum Of All Fears. The new store manager has arrived on the scene. It is election time. Guess Who is up for grabs. Time for me to frame and be held accountable for a crime that I did not commit in the year of our Lord 2012. The Co-manager, Ben Abbott, wants to become a store manager. So the Black or if you prefer to use African-American CSM can be sacrificed. It is only fitting and appropriate that I call my name out also. Hello! My name is Linda Garrett the overnight CSM at store #2857. I am the one with the rope burns around my neck. Coming atcha live from the front burner. Are you ready to review INTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS at its finest? These dates are very significant-5/30/2012 (given a verbal); 7/13/2012 (coached); 7/26/2012 (Asst. Manager Stephanie validated by the time clock at 4:07 a.m. that it was her and Co-Manager Ben who was under a lot of pressure by the new store manager, Randall Addison to clean house) big piece of the puzzle; 8/30/2012 (all hell breaks loose); 9/13/2012 and 9/22/2012 (coached again). Notice the pattern in these dates. Every 2 months and the dates 7/13/2012; 9/13/2012 are two months apart on the same day. On 9/16/2012 Kyndell Garrett, my son was coached the next week. I wanted the PYRAMID of RETALIATION to once again reveal itself. Under the PYRAMID of RETALIATION, you have DELAY, FEAR, and PUNISHMENT (All Out War). Well, at least Assistant Manager Stephanie got promoted to Co-Manager and she no longer works at store #2857. You wrong a person and you get promoted. The other Co-Manager, Allison, stepped down and went to another store. The law of Constructive Discharge knocked down Allison’s door.

I would like to point out to Human Rights Commission, the United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch, State Attorney General Chris Koster, Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez and President Barack Obama a new set of numbers have arrived on the scene as of February 26, 2016. My watch said 5:50am. The other White or Caucasian female CSM had to go home. I did show her the list and she thought it was strange. Me too. Strange I did not see her name on the list. Should I be surprised? This time register numbers are used. Register 3, 29, 28, 17, 22, 17, 21, and 22. Each register shows the date, negative or plus the amount, and to be verified as a multi-user. This is the killer. On that sheet, I was at the very top of the list. I was listed nine times. There are nine register numbers. Either I’m on every register because we are so short of help or my numbers are used on registers I’m not on. I’m looking at some registers that I have not been on. Every morning I leave out Let The Games Begin. The order is given to aim at the yellow target on my back. The same Co-Manager makes his way down to 100 to see who will be under surveillance and who he can put the screws to. Who gave the order? Here we are election time again in the year of our Lord 2016 with the same Co-manager, Ben Abbott, directly in the cash office where it is so much easier to set me up or ask any person he is surrounded by to do something unethical so he can become a store manager. How sad! I went to the cash office at the request of an associate. He had printed his schedule out. He could not remember what printer it had printed on. I checked and VOILA! The paper on top had my name listed 9 times. The paper underneath was the associate’s schedule. The associate said he was surprised I found his schedule because he had printed his schedule out a day ago. I was not surprised to see the SETUP take shape again.

Walmart doesn’t own their mistakes and will never apologize. Walmart will never say they learn from their mistakes because they keep making the same mistakes. Walmart will never tell what they have done wrong. So I thought I would get out in front and shine the light on their wrongdoing before they give me a coaching or fire me in this year before the old system goes out. Walmart will dirty up your work record. You just have to stay on top. A new system will be put in place on March 5, 2016. Every person who needs to be locked in by a coaching will be. Any associate under the old system will be fired before the new system takes effects. That’s right! MARCH 6th, 2016 is my birthday. It would be awesome for the same Co-manager, Ben Abbott, to make another attempt to assassinate my character on the day before my birthday. Do we have a theory for March 5th?

Walmart probably doesn’t want to remember David Tovar. He was Walmart Vice-President for Corporate Communications. The PR person should never become the story. Well, David Tovar forgot that he did not graduate from college, In other words, he Lied on his resume. Well, David Tovar got out in front and corrected his errors. He was Dropped by Walmart but picked up by a marksman(ex- Walmart employee who now works for Sprint). David Tovar did not let his mistakes define him but got out in front and now he is the Come Back Kid. Walmart let all of their mistakes define who they are. Who cares about REPUTATION when you are the world largest employee. Money is Walmart only interest and pleases their investors.

CEO, Doug McMillon I’m on every list to be targeted at store #2857. I remember Co-Manager Therese (Trez) Renzetti approach me to finish 2 CBL on Friday, February 5, 2016, at the beginning of my shift. My shift starts at 10:00 am. There was no Emergency Manager Meeting. I had just 2 compliance CBL’s. I completed the Ethic CBL but the Tobacco and FireArm went down while I tried to complete it. Co-Manager Therese Renzetti had 9 CBL’s at that time. Listed below as followed:

1.) Hazardous Waste-due 8/10/2015

2.) Safety I-due 10/27/2015

3.) Safety II-due 10/27/2015

4.) Alcohol Safety Training-due 10/27/2015

5.)Hazardous Waste Refresher-due 10/27/2015

6.) AP-O9 Authorized Associates-due 10/27/2015

7.) HIPAA-Ops Refresher-due 10/27/2015

8.) A Safer Work Place-due 10/27/2015

9.) Statement Of Ethics 10/27/2015

CEO Doug McMillon these are the people you have chosen to keep around. The harassment did not stop there. Assistant Mgr. Seth Blakely continued his harassment and bullying. He made it clear that no one is untouchable and he would be back for the next cycle to fire me. I do have the list of the people he coached and the people he fired. He may state he tells everyone this but I made the list to prove he is not joking. This is what happens when associates hold management accountable. This is the FEAR that your TEAM of people holds over the associates. That is WHY the associates are afraid to come forward. As the President of the United States would say, “You can’t make this up.” Yes, I will call my name out again. Hello! My name is Linda Garrett. I coming atcha you live from the Front Burner.

December 2012-Painted Me As The Enemy

The top strategy of Walmart is turning associates against one another. There will ALWAYS be a NO FRIENDS CONTRACT. Friendships and relationships will be broken by promises made by Walmart. There will be NO ACCOUNTABILITY for management as long as associates cannot UNITE. The money will be used as the Dog Catchers Bone. The Open Door Policy is to protect Walmart. The information you bring to HR will be shared with the store managers and other members of management. Once you go through Walmart’s Open Door and they find out what you know from that day FORWARD you will be forever Painted As The Enemy.

November 2013-Lucy And The Football Taken Away

Reflects back on the life of Lyle Streich a long-term associate who passed away on October 23rd, 2013. Kansas City Star rolled out Lyle’s obituary on October 25th, 2013. His funeral services held on October 28th, 2013. At the time of Lyle Streich death, Bill Simon was the CEO of Walmart. Lyle was a GOOD MAN and had accomplished many achievements. Before Lyle passed away he came to visit me. I was so glad to see him. He was so frail. He joked about me being on register 22. He said, ” You know they are going to try to hang you on that register. You better switch up.” Lyle was right. He knew Black Friday was just around the corner. Lyle came to check up on me to see if I would survive. My voice had diminished greatly and I told Lyle I had a lot of concerns. I remember an associate approached me and said one of the Co-managers had told her I was faking and I wanted people to feel sorry for me. No! I really want to maintain my health. Unlike the associates who clock in and want to be sick and go home to avoid the stress of the job at Walmart. Boy with my voice being out of commission for 6 months it was party time for the same Co-manager because I could not ask her questions. An associate kills me off on my birthday. When you get to the paragraph Mr. President I attended Lyles services something happens and it explains WHY MARCH 5th leads into MARCH 6 which is my birthday. It will give you a recipe and explains what happens in Please Proceed__Get The Transcript in 2012. It also shapes what is a plan for March 5th and March 6 of 2016. At that particular time in 2013, 160,000 Walmart workers will be rewarded to high paying jobs and more opportunity is emphasized. Here we are at the gate. It is now 2016 and a new pay increase will be initiated and put into effect by March 5, 2016. Yes, the beauty of TIMELINES.

Lyle was very ill. The associates in the store expressed great concerns. Lyle was moved from Automotive, Hardware, Sporting Goods, Furniture, Toys, and Lawn & Garden. Lyle made it clear he would never have been treated this way on his other job. Lyle said Walmart does not care about the associate. Eventually, Lyle became too ill to work. Even after he left the store it felt as though Lyle was there watching over me and the other associates. I made a commitment to Lyle. When the voice return I would not waste my breath nor my voice on a Store Manager, Randall Addison, Co-Manager Therese Renzetti, or Co-Manager Ben Abbott who berates, bully associates, retaliate, set associates up for failure and use excessive surveillance to harass and intimidate. Once again, I’m Linda Garrett at store #2857. My voice is to be used to advocate, uplift, and motivate. Yes, Lyle was taken away but his spirit is a beacon of light for me to carry on my fight. Truly Respect For The Individual. Truly Respect For A Human Life. The commitment for success and not failure; the commitment to enable the disable to be provided with work coaches and appropriate accommodation to do their job successfully; the commitment to finding associates who are homeless, homes; the commitment to the associates to provide them with the necessary tools to do their job effectively; the commitment to consider having Walmart invest in transportation for workers. Provide a bus pass allowance. The school districts provided bus and meal allowances. Can Walmart make the COMMITMENT? LYLE’s exit from this life has given me a greater strength. His beacon is the flame of HOPE and OPPORTUNITY to lead a path to one day restore Dignity back into Walmart. Lucy and her football ran away with TRUST but we will not let Lucy take DIPLOMACY away.

December 2013-Message to the People

Nelson Mandela passed away. I went over to the Grocery side to ask all the associates from another country how would they express their grief or say Good-bye. When I look back on this story the question was raised because other associated with foreign countries were being harassed, bullied, Wrongfully Terminated. All the foreign associates who were on the grocery side are no longer there. Hmmm! Were the foreign associates targeted because they are vulnerable and do not wish to compromise their citizenship? Were the foreign associates targeted because they do not understand their rights in the United States? Hmmm!

December 2013-Screamers, Shouters, Shooters__Scarred Opportunity

This story reflects the associates who are no longer there or no longer works for Walmart. It tells how the associates are so underpaid. The associates receive food-stamps and have EBT cards working their scheduled hours. Bill Simon at this time was still the CEO of Walmart. Visit demos.org and read Retails Hidden Potentials: How Raising Wages Would Benefit Workers, the Industry, and the Overall Economy. This is one of the Presidential Contenders of 2016, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont platform. He speaks on many platforms. Hillary Clinton also speaks on wage increases.

This story is the mirror image of Five Days Before Christmas released on June 14, 2016. Only the associate in Screamers, Shouters and Shooters__Scarred Opportunity was Sarah who was bullied and walked off the job by the same Co-Manager, Therese Renzetti. Sarah is Mexican. Her job was restored. Just like Anna, who is Philippine, is the associate in the other story Five Days Before Christmas. Her job was restored. Do you understand WHY? Were the associates in an abusive, hostile, and an unsafe work environment? These 2 associates seem to be very REASONABLE. Had it gotten to the point their work environment was intolerable? This is all too familiar and another repeat performance. The question has been raised many times. Are foreigners targeted at Walmart? Why? Who created this atmosphere of FEAR? Go back and review Constructive Discharge.

The Wounded Shooter is the man behind NO ONE WILL EXCEED EXPECTATION, Randall Addison. His failure has now become management and the associate’s failure. Marksman and Snipers no longer work for Walmart and are now recruiters for other companies. They see the true worth of the individual who was let go by Walmart. Just ask David Tovar ex-Vice President of Walmart Communication. He was recruited by an ex Walmart employee (sniper) who works for Sprint. Walmart will never admit to their mistakes.

April 2014-#2857 Disruptive Innovators__ Those Who Are Disruptive

A new CEO has arrived on the scene. His name is Doug McMillon. Bill Simon has not been booted out of the picture yet. It gives a Pick-A-Boo look at the salaries of both the CEO. This story gives information on who to get in touch with if you have any Walmart grievances. If you wish to step outside for help and where to turn for additional information. Who is the Disruptive management at #store 2857? WHY after all these years the Disruptive Management hasn’t been held accountable? Where is HR? How will the associates ever TRUST HR if management is not held accountable? You will get an up close and personal look at Human Right Violations and violations within the store. It will take you on the roll-a-coaster ride of FEAR. It tells WHY associates are afraid to speak out.

May 2014- Unjustifiable__Negative Evaluation

Your evaluation should be based on your performance and not the failures of the Store Manager’s performance and how poor inventory was. Here we are once again rolling into inventory in 2016. This time much earlier. This poem points you in the direction of the associates protected activity rights under Title VII of 8-1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We will continue to RECAPTURE THE RECAP ON ACCOUNTABILITY with June 2014-My Friend With The Yellow Pen. There are 9 stories and many pieces of the puzzle to sort through. Dig in! This is Linda Garrett signing off for now. Coming atcha live from store #2857. I will definitely hit you back with more pieces of the puzzle and a much Bigger Picture. I will keep you well-informed and certainly up to date. Coming atcha live from the Flip Side Of The Chart and the front burner.

Don’t Spoil It!

Feb16 by Linda Ballard

Is the coast clear? Did you actually believe the words written on the card? Don’t you wish that all the people who could express their true feelings do so? Have the flowers died? Are the balloons beginning to deflate? Did you get the special Valentine’s Dinner offer? Do you have any more candy left? Has the bubbly gone out the campaign? Were you playing the Isley Brother’s throwback, Love The One You With? Were you singing Rude Boys and Gerald Levert, Written All Over Your Face? Were you caught up in the Red Moment? Are you seeing Red? How many people out there in the universe think Valentine’s Day is OVERRATED? Are you mad because everything you purchase is now on clearance? Do you feel like you want to put your relationship on clearance? There are 365 days in a year on a regular note and 1 extra day allowed in 2016. Did I strike a nerve? Don’t Spoil It!

There was plenty of TIME to pour the wine.

Did you forget or fail to do so?

I could not read was Written All Over Your Face.

I’m confused, angry and caught up in a bind.

Where is your navigational device, Robinson Crusoe?

Shipwrecked again! What a sin! Is it so hard for you to find my place?

Baby! You know it doubles and I have boo-coo trouble with any type of directions.

Time escapes me and totally flies by.

This navigational device failed and really stinks.

I made a WRONG TURN so I call my BOI’s for protection.

Pharrell, Bruno, and Will I Am won’t LIE.

OMG! You bought the device for me. Forgive me, Baby, I didn’t think.

There will be no cuddle or huddle at this address.

Don’t bother to give me your worthless card.

I tried to be understanding when you said the words don’t come out right.

Take your dead flowers and your deflated balloons so I can clean up this mess.

Your clothes will be out in the yard.

Tell your Posse your lady got bossy. You are lucky you did not get a knuckle-soup fight.

Baby! I know the dinner did not make me a winner.

I am sorry I ate some of your candy on the way.

Hey! How was I supposed to know the champagne was flat?

A few pieces of candy missing won’t help you look thinner.

That was a rotten and awful thing for me to say.

It was a slip of the lip but Baby I did not call you fat.

I wanted to scream and shout as I sat there pouring my heart out.

So I began to sing Chaka Khan’s, My Funny Valentine.

What happened next didn’t EVEN seem real.

This Brother had used up all of his clouts.

Yes, I was tipsy but not drunk nor out of mind.

What did you say Boo? You know you’re through. I’m sober and here’s the deal.

Wait for a minute baby! You’re driving me crazy. It’s just a simple mistake.

My tongue got twisted and I pronounced your name wrong.

I struggle with expressive/receptive language and a speech impediment.

I’m starting to get a massive headache.

I’ve tried everything plus a dance and a song.

Really! This argument is silly. Don’t make me get belligerent.

It’s a shame you blame the UNINTENTIONAL BEHAVIORS.

Your CHOICE was to LIE and bring on the external commotion.

Critical thinking and logic is the sum of cold cognition.

Word Up! Bro, you are not the only man nor my savior.

I did not CHOOSE but was born not understanding my internal emotions.

Look me up. I will Hook you up. GOOGLE NLD RECOGNITION.

Don’t Spoil It.

Super Bowl 2016__Evolutionary Swing

Feb8 by Linda Ballard

I don’t know who thought the Super Bowl kicked off on Sunday at 5:30pm Central Time. It has been a long time coming but I know A Change Is Gonna Come. Sam Cook put it out there. His VOICE carries the reflection of emotions and memories that will trigger the Revolution. If We The People will not Progress and Accept Evolution our Nation will be doom without Progressive Solutions. What did you see through your lens? I guess it all depends. Were you watching the game? I saw more than just a Game. I did roll those 50 years back. America came together and push FORWARD. A brilliant teaching tool was released by the flip of a coin. You got CHANGE. DIVERSITY led the KICKOFF. Everyone did their fair share. Time to Roll Back!

I remember sitting on the floor with my son rambling through all of his football and baseball major league cards. He could see the great despair on my face. He would always say, “Don’t worry MaMa one day we will have black quarterbacks.” When the GAME was the GAME and money wasn’t thrown around like water all the big time quarterbacks were white. All I could see at that time was Terry Bradshaw, Len Dawson, Roger Staubach, Fran Tarkenton, Bob Griese, Joe Namath, Dan Marino, Joe Montana and Johnny Unitas. If you got a card with Bart Starr’s picture it was a Great Kodak Moment. Another doorway was open by a young man name Doug Williams who played with the Washington Redskin. He was the only black quarterback at the times paving the way for Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, Cam Newton, Donovan McNabb, James Winston, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III (RG3). Teddy Riley crossed over to mix it up with the Gospel Group, The Winans. Yes, it is Time To Make That Change. Rolling my mental processing forward A Change did come. Flipping the coin backward here is what I recall.

My son was so hopeful. He would say, “Time to put a smile on your face.” He would call out Christian Okoye (The Nigerian Nightmare), Marcus Allen, Ickey Woods (fullback), Tony Dorsett, Jamal Anderson, Roger Craig, Walter Payton all of his favorite Running Backs. He carried in his back pocket the cards of Deron Cherry and Ronnie Lott (Defensive Safety favorites). Underneath his pillow, the cards of Deon Sanders (Corner), Charles Woodson (Corner/Safety) Albert Lewis (Corner) protected him from the Shadow Creeper. In his shoebox, his ultimate warrior Wide Receivers were placed in those little cellophane pouches. Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Mark Ingram Sr., John Taylor and Mark Clayton would last forever. Offensive Lineman and Linebackers were off-limits. My son said he had to keep some secrets. I was cool with that. Roll It FORWARD.

As I watch the game there was an ease of my breathing and no tension on my shoulders. In Super Bowl 2016 your white quarterback was Payton Manning. On the opposite end of the spectrum, your black quarterback was Cam Newton. There was a Hispanic coach, Ron Rivera. There was a white Coach Gary Kubiak. Half-time demonstrated a balance. DIVERSITY was the star. No headliner could be found to give DIVERSITY the proper introduction. DIVERSITY stood on its own. What a send-off! As I watch the game I could say, “ALRIGHTY THEN” instead of “ALL WHITEY THEN.” TouchDown for DIVERSITY. From Remembering The Titans to the movie 42 everyone came together and did what they do. Bruno Mars, Lady GaGa, Beyonce, and Cold Play pointed it out on Super Bowl 2016 day. Are you ready to move the needle?

It took years and years of steps and gradual CHANGE. The INCLUSION of all these UNIQUE people to come together at Levi’s Stadium was remarkable. Fifty years have passed. UnBelievable! Yet Super Bowl 2016 looked so different to me. Through my lens, I was caught up in the moment of viewing people of different races, ethnicities, and ages. Regardless of their incomes, physical abilities, religious beliefs, sexual orientations and different ideologies these people were all under one roof. The United States of America is under one roof. If the people in our nation could surround themselves with ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING, and get over their petty biases we could move the needle FORWARD once again. Our level of tolerance would allow us to embark upon embracing and celebrating the DIFFERENCES of each INDIVIDUAL. A foundation built with strong SUPPORTS, a SAFE POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT, nurturing with the seeds of EDUCATIONS for GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT moves the needle of DIVERSITY toward monumental CHANGES and PROGRESS. TouchDown! We must all do our FAIR SHARE and not complicate things. One Nation, under GOD, Indivisible, and Justice__ Evolutionary Swing.

Snitch This! Here’s The Playlist.

Jul13 by Linda Ballard

Whew-Wee! You mean to tell me the associates are not allowed to sit on the benches anymore. What! The only place you can have your breaks and lunches will be in the Break Room or outside. Hey, I will admit I sat over in the corner at the service desk and would eat my lunch. No one could see me. The majority of the times when the associates came to pick up the returns they didn’t know I was there. Other associates begin to come and sit on the bench inside customer service. There are 2 benches by the time clock near the podium. One night I was sitting behind the service desk eating my lunch. The Co-manager comes up and started throwing return buckets around. This incident was witnessed by 2 other associates and the other CSM. The CSM said it happen to her over the weekend. Okay! The other CSM acted like it was a normal occurrence. Let’s just assume the Co-Manager was angry probably because the returns had not been picked up by the associates or the Co-manager may have felt the CSMs had not called out enough times. I continued to eat my lunch. The next night the assistant manager rolls up and tells me it was very unprofessional to eat behind the service desk. The assistant manager said she would inform the other associates they could not eat in the area by customer service and sit on the benches by the TIME clock. The customers would get mad if they would see us sitting around and not waiting for them. What I couldn’t understand is you could not see me at the service desk. You had to either be told by someone I was there or come into customer service to physically know I was there. The majority of the associates are aware I very seldom go to the Break Room.

Here we go again! Some people don’t give up. We can now add the vacation request and the public service announcement by the store manager booting me off THE BENCH as another pattern of Walmart’s retaliation for JULY. Request date was May 23, 2015, and only 1 week approved in July 2015. CEO Doug McMillon is going to be thrilled to death. I don’t mine filing the 4th Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Missouri Commission On Human Rights complaint. The contact number is 573-751-3300. That just means more paperwork and giving The Human Rights Commission more information about Walmart’s unfair labor practices. The people Walmart leave in charge. Wait until you get further into the story. You will see WHY the month of JULY really means so much to me. I won’t spoil the surprise.

Strange, in 2008 I would stand by the cart carrel to gather heat when my body became cold(booted out). In 2011 the room by automotive where customers waited for their cars(booted out). The same year, over on the grocery side of DSD, the room where they kept the red totes with the cigarettes (booted out). In 2012 the room behind customer service was well heated (booted out). I was in areas where the customer could not see me nor the associates. I was booted out by the same Co-manager. I just wanted a place to eat in peace. Here it is July 2015, maybe Co-manager Theresa just wants me booted out of the building period. I guess it is more professional for Co-manager Theresa to throw around return buckets and let the associates see how well she handled situations. Well, you know you can’t single a person out. I guess the store manager forgot in 2013 he sent another Co-manager to boot me out of a small area. Now it has been made into a tiny office. The store manager made the announcement everyone has to eat in the Break Room or outside. I wonder if Co-manager Theresa left something out? Maybe she forgot to tell the Store Manager, Randall Addison how many times she has booted me out. Even in the nightly meetings because I ask too many questions I was booted out. What do you think? It feels to me as though I was singled out. I wonder if any of the other associates have been booted out as many TIMES as I have.

DUDE! I am not a union organizer. Just to let you know I am not being disrespectful to management. Walmart has a gift card out that has a grey background with bold dark grey capital letters spelling out the word DUDE. I bought one to show certain members of management because if you say something they may take offense to what you say or take what you say out of context. I was in the office talking to Assistant manager Dianne about my vacation time. My voice elevated and she said it appeared to her I was coming across as angry. WOW! I explain to her I thought I was expressing myself as being passionate. Here goes the “Angry Black Women Syndrome.” There have been many times Assistant Manager Dianne has been out on the floor and raised her voice at the associates. I thought she was frustrated because the grocery side has always been short on staffing. I never viewed her as an angry White Women. Sir Chris Knight of the Round Table this is why the President always kept a smooth low tone. Strange how certain members of management are the flamethrowers of disrespect. Another adverse action on Wal-marts behalf. It only creates a hostile environment. Yes, it will affect the associate job performance. The Associates see Wal-mart as bullies. Walmart takes everything away, dictating all the rules, and humiliating the associates by saying they are slow and unproductive. We just recently lost 2 more GOOD PEOPLE and hard workers for this very same reason. Man! I hate being stereotyped.

Man! Where did the TIME go? Where’s your buddy? He is back in lawn and garden tonight? The USA is working in so many departments tonight. All the associates are spread thin and working in different areas. There are not a lot of people on GM (General Merchandise) side. We are needed on the Grocery Side. So call me early for my returns. I certainly will. Are you taking an early break? What are you going to eat? Tonight I will snack on a Rocky Road Snicker and a Naked Mango Smoothie. I will save the ice-cream for another day. You look so peaceful sitting there. I’m really tired. Sall, I promised you a story. This one is for you. I have been reflecting back on many of my stories. There are a lot of people missing in action. As my memory unfolds these where all GOOD PEOPLE. It’s all GOOD. I hated to see them leave the store. Each person left me feeling reassured they would be alright. It was better for their health, well-being, and they were looking forward to a salary increase. Many of the associates made it clear they wanted better treatment and could wait for the pay increase. These associates were tired of the poor treatment they had to receive from Walmart. No matter how hard the associates would try they were viewed as slow and unproductive.

How in the world can you schedule the associates pass their availability without asking? Walmart doesn’t mine. It is just another violation of a LOOPHOLE. The rules in the policy can change at any time to suit the needs of Walmart. It was hard to come to work while certain members of management would beat you down. In the morning when it was time to get off, your self-esteem was wrapped around your kneecaps. Certain members of management on several occasions reminded the associates if they did not like Walmart’s treatment they could go elsewhere. How many TIMES have I been told the very same thing by certain members of management? All those GOOD PEOPLE who are no longer with the store looks very relieved and less stressed. All those GOOD people came back to the store to remind the workers how much they miss them. Sall, they left me with GOOD memories. WOW! To go so far as to tell an associate to find another job if you don’t play by Walmart’s rules. It can make the associates feel helpless. Time to be a Disruptive Innovator. Here goes being bad and breaking chain of command to bring a new way to get this message off of the bench and onto the GRID. On a GOOD note, Oprah said don’t forget to document. Oprah stated sometimes it is TIME to move on to another job. Snitch This! Here’s the Playlist.

Sall, there are so many jobs websites. Forbes listed Top 75 Websites for your career in alphabetical order. Forbes also has 100 top websites for Women. I say to you Sall, Raison d’être. You will never have to feel like you are trapped. I really did not like being called a Snitch. Toure thinks it is horrible too. I figure if I SNITCH it would be to help serve a greater purpose for other people’s live. I really don’t like the term, Snitch. Who’s Toure? He is a guardian of the Knights of The Round Table on MSNBC. Guess What! I am not sitting on the bench delivering a locked in message. Power to the GRID! Sall, I want the world to know that these people on this list will always be eternal flames in my heart.

There are TIMES when I created a list and I can see race, age, sex, national origin, religion, and color just pop out. Asking questions helps. Let’s visit Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Who dominates this list? What? Shut Up!

1.) Nadia-Mommy of the Year. Love sharing time with her sons. She was a GOOD HARD WORKER and loved her job at Walmart. What a loss!

2.) Pete-Mr. Stylist himself and loved every kind of shoe in the world. GOOD WORKER, friendly and easy-going and definitely GOOD PEOPLE.

3.) Rashaud- Love his music and the Brother could sing. GOOD WORKER. Doing his thing at GM. His favorite candy was vanilla carmen creme. Rashaud did not like being called a BOY. So Snitch This! There’s more to the Playlist.

4.) Antonio-Delightful personality and very unique. I can see Antonio zipping through the store with his bag of Smart Popcorn and his bottle of Star Bucks Frappuccino on his lunch hour. GOOD PERSON and he tried hard.

5.) Balvin-Mr. Healthy Eater. Love mangoes, avocados, all types of fruit just like you Sall. A very Hard and GOOD WORKER. All around smooth and a very easy-going person. What a loss. Balvin comes to Walmart at night proudly wearing his Park Hill School District Badge. This brother made it clear he would go out on his own terms. He was told basically by the Co-manager if he could not wax the floors they no longer had any use for his services. Park Hill is now hiring.

6.) Rob loved his old school music, a comedian, and love old school candy. GOOD PEOPLE and GOOD WORKER

7.) Tanya-The Grandmother of the year. Always shopping for her grandchildren and Ms. Entrepreneur of opening up a chain of Day Care Centers. Hold onto your dream. GOOD PEOPLE and GOOD WORKER.

Sall, there have only been 6 Black assistant managers in this store over a period of 14 years. Walmart will probably bring another Black manager to cover up. Can Walmart cover up all the hurt and pain they have to cause the associates? Look around. There is not one Black manager in the store yet. Hmmm! How discriminatory is this? It didn’t take long to get rid of Mr. Ricky. Who masterminds a plan to alleviate all Black Assistant Managers from store #2857? When you write a story and the people start disappearing from the story there is a great cause to be concerned. The Confederate Flag has been removed. Walmart said they would participate in removing symbols of the Confederate flag. Now it is TIME for the IDEOLOGY, and the people who want to hang onto the GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM, and THE TAP ON THE BACK be taken DOWN. Home Office controls the heat, water, and air. If everything is controlled by Home Office maybe it is TIME for the associates to organize and go to HOME OFFICE and list concerns for yourself, the store, and pay increases. The associates have the right to organize and Town Hall management out of their positions. I think this is why the associates can no longer set on THEM THERE BENCHES. They can always go to the GRID and they won’t get written up. Walmart may have to Pull the Plug but I, Linda Garrett, choose to breathe on my own. Can you hear Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald singing On My Own? It would truly help if the associates get in touch with HOME OFFICE, the news media, and DWIT (Do Whatever It Takes) to bring down the Confederate Flag. This is Slavery, Bondage, and Control. The associates have always held the power in their hand. Now it is TIME to use their VOICES. Now you see WHY I get booted out.

Sall, we need to be a part of the policy-making process. THE TAP ON THE BACK gives Walmart leverage to change their policy to fit their needs at any given TIME, not the associates. The TAP ON THE BACK disrespect the worker’s rights and weakens the laws of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Sall, Title Vll prohibits employment discrimination based on race, religion, sex, color, and national origin. Sall, you are from Africa. Knowing your rights gives you leverage and puts the power in your hands, not Walmart. The TAP ON THE BACK gives power to Walmart Corporation who has failed to respect the laws. It is quite easy for Walmart to disrespect those associate who has worked for Walmart Corporation for many years. Tenure is not respected. We are not respected. An example would be Walmart raise increase. The longer a person stays their wage is suppressed even more. This hinders the development of one’s job performance. Sall, there are laws that protect you from pay discrimination. Anyone coming in after the raise increase has walked into the door making more than the person who spent years to get to the new associate’s salary. Think about the people who were here before the wage increase went into effect. Some associates were paid at a higher rate and were in a lower pay grade. Who wants more responsibility in a higher pay grade but receives less money? How did these associates reach their salary cap so soon? Walmart raise increase is based on how much they favor an individual. God has no favorites. God grants Grace. God does not discriminate Amen!

Every person did not get a raise but many of the associates thought the raise would be for all of Walmart associates. Laws are put in place that protects our HUMAN RIGHTS against Discrimination In The Workplace. Can I get an Amen from Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, from New York? Missouri is a No-Fault State but it does not give Walmart Corporation the right to create an UMBRELLA OF LIES. Do not be intimidated by Walmart’s size. Walmart must be held accountable for their sins. Sometimes we fall from GRACE because we are BLINDED by GREED which stares us in the FACE. Corporations lose sight of the people who put them on the map. Money is the #1 priority. We lose GOOD EMPLOYEES. We lose GOOD CUSTOMERS, We lose GOOD MANAGEMENT. From the echoes of Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, if you are too big to fail you are too big to exist. From the battle cries of Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, Demos.org, UpWorthy, and many others the minimum wage needs to be raised to $15.00 an hour in order to be competitive. To uplift the poor from the poverty level and keep the middle class in tack. Can I get AMEN to that?

I love AMAZING GRACE. The tune floating in my head is Oh Happy Day. When Jesus washed, Oh when he washed, he washed my sins away. Oh, Happy Day. No, you don’t earn Grace. Grace is granted by God Almighty. Grace is a special gift handed to us by God who will forgive our sins. God will judge us all in the end. Do we deserve GRACE? NO! Man judges but can never grant a person GRACE. There is so much that man has to forgive himself so he may judge objectively. Who forgives our sin? Well, you know some people are not in the forgiveness business. Thank God for granting us GRACE. God Favors us all. A man has his favorites. Sall, this is when discrimination comes into play because one side is favored more than the other. God does not discriminate. God is in a Neutral Zone. Through Gods lens he sees no color, dollar amount doesn’t matter, nor the size of the corporation, and whether or not if you are a celebrity when your ship sails it will be TIME to go. Oh, Happy Day. Sall, this is why we need to step outside and bring in independent investigators who do not work for Walmart and will remain Neutral in evaluating any type of grievance. All the people on the list below need to know they do have a choice and always get a second opinion. It doesn’t need to be Wal-Mart’s opinion.

Off the top of my head, I do not wish to view any of the associates as FAMILIAR STRANGERS. Somewhere down the line, Sall, we must complete the conversation and learn to get along in order to have a productive work night especially when we are short on people. We spend a lot of hours together and I would like to think I have learned something about each associate as they come to the register. What puts a smile on their face and keep the associates within the boundaries of remaining human? Once you give these 25 associates their zu-zu’s and wam-wam’s you got 25 smiles without a raise.

1.) Ricardo-walnuts and avocados

2.) Karen-mocha frappuccino and M&M’s

3.) Tim-oatmeal cookies and Sunkist orange soda

4.) Dwight-mangoes and plum

5.) Charlotte-cherry coke and peanuts

6.) Tony-Red Bull and Doritos

7.) Jeannine-Marlboro Red and Twizzler

8.) Cory-pizza and sherbet ice-cream

9.) Unisa-KickStart Cherry Mt. Dew and Rice Crispy Treats

10.) Alex-Lipton Green Tea and Life Savers Gummy Treats

11.) De Andre-Welches Fruit Snack and Gatorade Blue Drink

12.) Ashley Cherry Coke and Chocolate Mushroom Cookies

13.) Tanetra-Coke and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup

14.) Robert-Mini Fudge Brownies and Red Kool-Aid

15.) Jamie-Chobani Coconut yogurt and strawberry cupcakes

16.) Daniel-Barbecue Pork sandwich and Vanilla Double Shot

17.) Tretez- Twix and White Hersey Chocolate bar

18.) Ms. Peggy-coffee and pure ice one flavored drink

19.) Brady-Octopus and Butter Pecan Ice Cream

20.) Keon-Graham Crackers and Manchurian noodles

21.) Hans-Lime popsicle and chocolate candy

22.)David-Rice Crispy Treats and Mt. Dew Code Red

23.) Derrick-Watermelon gum and Mt. Dew

24.) Mrs. Lauren-butter frosting cakes and cookies

25.) Sara P-pickles and Dr. Pepper

These are all GOOD people and hard workers. Our store consists of many GOOD hard workers. I probably can name something they all like or they all like to do or places where the associates visited. The associates are not FAMILIAR STRANGERS but more like FAMILY. This is how the job gets done by being able to communicate to an associate the smallest of their interest is important. Let the associates know you are paying attention and you do care.

I can look in the basket of many of the customers and remind them if they left out any general merchandise or grocery items. There are a lot of GOOD customers that have frequent the store. We have lost a lot of GOOD customers. The people feel Walmart does not provide quality service. The customers do not like the way Walmart treats the associates. Many of the customer’s children were hired at Walmart and this was their first job experience. Doctors, Attorneys, Pilots, Judges and all people from different nationalities and all walks of life get off the plane from KC International, which is just around the corner. People coming in off their flight was surprised Walmart didn’t have the latest technology and the store was so outdated. A young man from Arizona said he was surprised we didn’t have any self-checkout. He said for over 5 years he worked installing registers for Walmart Corporation but had since parted ways. He said any tech that walks into a store and notices you have no self-checkout lanes it meant the store was at risk for high theft. Not putting in self-checkout lanes would be a way to reduce loss in the store. Interesting!

Our registers had the oldest programs and should have been upgraded in 2007. Every register has crashed. The most popular registers 19,1,5,7,9,11,13,17,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,29, and 32. At the Service desk 91 hasn’t worked in a long time Register 93 has a tendency to freeze. Register 95 has been in and out of commission. Register 2,8, and 19(still have problems), 68 and 27 was down on the general merchandise side. Who did we serve with all those registers out of commission on and off for the past 8 yrs? Who was in violation? Did the customers receive GOOD service? Is this one of the reasons why Walmart has such a low score in customer service? Ask Consumer Report and Shop Smart. There were no registers opened because people were not hired to be placed on the broken registers. How much sense does that make? Instead of getting new registers and turnstiles we have received another patch job. All those years and the registers were not working properly. What about the scales? Now there is one hell-of-a compliance issue. A fortune could be made if the customer’s fruit and vegetables were not weighed properly. Electronics has a huge compliance issue. Two people should be staffed in Electronics at all Times. Hey, Walmart can change the rules anytime. The Debit readers are still a major problem. Debit readers are unable to read the credit/debit cards with the new computer chip. Customers do not wish to swipe their card 2 or more times. Yes, the customers have been overcharged and called Walmart out. The customer showed on their smartphones, iPhones, and Androids it was a Walmart’s problem, not a banking problem. The customer wanted the problem resolved right away. Customers have made it clear, “who needs management.” Customers had the policy on their phones which loaded a lot quicker than management responded. Snitch This! Here’s The Playlist.

It would be so much better if new TOUCH SCREEN computers had been installed and a faster program used. MOTOROLA! Come on now. Guess who was held accountable for the mechanical errors. SURPRISE! See these dates Sall, 5/30/2012, 7/13/2012, 7/16/2012, 7/26/2012, 9/22/2012. This was my last trip to HR. I walk around every night with those dates in my pocket. I wrote a story on November 26, 2012, Please Proceed__Get The Transcript. Those dates demonstrate coaching for failure, not for success. It reminded me of a certain member of management, Co-Manager Trez, behind the camera. This was another attempt to set me up for a Structural Dismissal or Structural Discharge. There are other Structural dates that followed in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Even before these dates, I noticed a pattern of INTENTIONAL unnecessary write-ups. Sall, it is just another fancy way of saying you are on your way to getting FIRED TRUMP STYLE. Well in my case, certain members of management are doing everything in their power Intentionally and will create an LIE to get rid of me, you, and any person who stands up for themselves. Did you notice a pattern, Sall? Wow! management was really desperate in JULY of 2012. They are desperate now. JULY 2015 has arrived. It felt as though I have been money laundered and hung out to dry. In cases of money laundering, it is never done all at once. Information is altered to make the transaction appear more acceptable. Walmart has their heart set on taking me to the cleaners. I have always wanted what was best for the associates and the customers. This is no longer Walmart’s goal.

Look out for the words INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION with MISCONDUCT on exit papers. You better know it! I have read many of the associate’s exits papers in my Time. Sall, INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION is what I call a Euphemism. It is the polite way so folks don’t get embarrassed telling the associate they are booted out permanently. Corporations go through the back door so employers can avoid paying benefits to employees. Who volunteers to get fired? Will any of the personal discussions/verbal, written coaching and the lousy evaluation you receive be dropped if you decide to return? Are you going to receive the salary you left out with if and when you return? What a way to say you are out the door. Why would an associate come back to the scene of the crime in 30 days for rehire? Really! Get fired again. Now Walmart or any corporation can say how they really worked with you and they tried so hard. What employer would take an associate back for MISCONDUCT? Does Walmart have some sort of 30-day treatment plan before they fire you again? Charges not expunged. Well, the new Euphemism of today would be INVOLUNTARY WORK SLAUGHTER. If you come back for the 2nd TIME I guess it would be 2nd degree associate slaughter. Have you figured out who got burned? What a way to destroy your work record. You think Unemployment is going to give you any BENEFITS? NO! Is it set up this way to force an associate back to the corporation without them paying any BENEFITS. This doesn’t appear to be legal.

Look for patterns of behaviors and always watch the dates. The cashiers, CSMs, and an employee called to the register off the floor are at high risk of getting on a register and being set up by certain members of management behind the looking-glass or AP (100). I am not being paranoid. I have gone through this personal hell myself. I have other dates to prove Walmart’s reckless Intentional behavior. Are the cameras for the associates? Are the cameras for the associates who are viewed as thieves? Certain management can get an associate for Time theft or grazing (eating an item that has not been purchased) on the clock. No person working at Walmart should be mentally raped by the excessive surveillance of certain members of management. Get another storyline when it comes to the registers. How can Walmart hold the associates accountable for their being out of compliance? The Coin-Star machine needs to be checked. Customers are putting their money in the machine and when the customer gets to the register the ticket will say Do not redeem this ticket. This ticket has been used. The whole store needed to be remodeled by 2007 but instead, we got a patch job. Now we are getting another patch job. Walmart Corporation needs to be held accountable. Walmart creates policies, drop the ball on policies, and pick up the ball on policies to cover Walmart, not the associate. Sall, this is where the associates have the right to assemble and change the rules of the game to benefit their behalf. Sall, there are many things that need to be fixed at Walmart and with Walmart Corporation. The greatest news of today Sall, you are not one of the people who need to be fixed. You are definitely GOOD people with great potentials. Amen to that with a tip of a hat. More voices are needed.

Two years ago the roof got worked on, maybe. Unbelievable! Look what happened the other night. An object punctured the roof. The rain came pouring in from the roof and caused damage to merchandise in certain areas. The grocery side vestibule and the general merchandise side vestibule floods quite often. There are leaks throughout the ceiling. I just hope and pray the roof doesn’t collapse killing any of the associates or any members of management. It shouldn’t take a tragic event to happen at Walmart to get it right. Will Walmart be held accountable for being out of compliance?

Surveys out and it is Time to tell the CEO Doug McMillon, Judith McKenna, Chief Operating Manager US Walmart, and Gregg Foran, President and CEO Walmart US how I and many associates feel.

1.) The wage put before the associates were unfair, not competitive, and done in a deceptive manner. This wage is suppressive for those who have been at Walmart for many years. This wage covers up and goes through the backdoor on the person who has worked on a lower level and paid more by means of the Tap On The Shoulder. Capped out associates received a 2% increase. The associates who are at a higher level and paid less and not capped out early is the man in the middle whose salary has no wage increase at all.

2.) Walmart reputation has been scarred by not offering $15.00 an hour. Walmart is a major beneficiary of Food Stamps and EBT. Walmart workers cost the taxpayers $6.2 Billion in Public Assistance. Walmart gets $104 million dollar tax break for giving their executives outrageous pay packages and bonuses. The associates get ran into the ground and end up utilizing public assistance. Big time former CEO Mike Duke got off the hinge with fringe benefits by running a company into the ground. Walmart got away with just being embarrassed. Our last bonus was $34.00 and before it was $62.00. I want to let the mom, Amanda Moore, who went to a hearing on raising the minimum wage for $15.00 is ab-so-lute-ly correct. When will the associates of Walmart get a raise in their PAYCHECK?

3.) The associate’s low wages contribute to Walmart map of success. The success of Walmart depends upon associates not being paid their fair share. The associates are a huge part of the Walmart Welfare system at $9.00 hr. The contributions of the many hours worked by the associates can easily be remedied by hiring the appropriate staffing. Hiring for full-time employment instead of running Super Center stores off of part-time employment, skeletal crews, and contracts of Labor Ready associates who do not make the 90 days. This is an Intentional strategy I feel Walmart puts into place to get their job done. Walmart can control the accrued vacation TIME of the associates by not hiring. This forces the associates who have been there the longest into 1 week of vacation even if you have earned 3 weeks. So as you can see Walmart takes away associates benefits. Only Walmart benefits.

4.) Walmart pay grade can be easily understood. The problem with the pay grade are associates who get the TAP ON THE SHOULDER get a higher rate of pay. The associate’s with the higher level pay grade is lower. Who wants more responsibility for less money? Who wants a big fancy title to later find out it is just a big fancy title with more work.

5.) If you were not over the paid grade or salary capped out then you were left out of the raise increase. Why isn’t a salary cap or bonus cap placed on the CEO and other big-time executives?

6.) The associates are not satisfied with the overnight differential, and rate of pay. The associates felt compelled to sign as they do with any other personal discussion, written or verbal coaching out of fear due to retaliation.

7.) There is a huge disconnect in the store. The store manager is very distant, verbally abusive to members of management, and associates. Negative feedback is his specialty. This was the person in charge of explaining the pay wage. Really! All the overnight associates dying to get home from the brutal night they worked to be called to the personnel office to face off with WHO, Randall Addison. No, it was not explained thoroughly to the associates. What took Randall Addison so long to tell the associates how the pay wage would work? Where is HR? If any associates have any grievance use your open door. Contact Delinda Davis-913-268-7904 or Gerald Henrickson-913-268-7904. The doors of the Church is always open. Find a Neutral Zone that will weigh both sides. So to all the associates you need to step outside and use the number above. Don’t forget HOME OFFICE is Walmart big send-off button. Walmart works for Walmart.

Can you answer these questions for the associates? What is the purpose of the survey when nothing changes on behalf of the associates? Where is the check and balance system at Walmart when Walmart changes their policy to accommodate their needs only? Are these changes coming from Corporate? Are these changes coming from the store manager? Who initiated the change in the Vacation Policy? I have read the vacation policy 6 times. It covers the areas of Accruing vacation, Using vacation, Holidays, Unscheduled vacation, Status change, Vacation pay at termination. I requested 12 weeks ahead of two weeks of vacation. You think I would have paid my dues. Guess Not!

1.) your vacation time can be used for ANY REASON.

2.) I did not request vacation unexpectedly, nor on an unscheduled basis

3.) I notified my manager for the reason of request.

Approval of vacation requests goes like this.

Your supervisor will review your request to use available vacation based on your work responsibilities. I have not taken any time off. I have accrued 3 weeks of vacation over a 14 year period. I made sure that I would not try to schedule my vacation off during the Back To School Tax-Free Weekend so it would not impact business. There are Two other associates coded as CSM’s (customer service managers) that have already taken their vacation. There are CSM’s on the second shift who said they would not have a problem coming overnight to help out. So I am asking CEO Doug McMillon, Judith McKenna (Chief Operating Manager of Walmart US) and Gregg Foran, President, and CEO Walmart the US, What seems to be the problem? I am following Walmart’s Policy. It looks Discriminatory when you know others associates got 2 weeks and you didn’t. I guess that is why Walmart has no respect for Tenure. Walmart made the policy and I guess it is time to change the policy to benefit Walmart again. As long as you stay it is not beneficial for the associate.

LOOPHOLE: This information does not create a bond of marriage or a contract with Walmart. Ain’t no other contracts involved. Walmart can change or modify any information at any given time without notice at their sole discretion. Consistent with applicable laws. You are not married to Walmart. If you are married to Walmart get ready for an annulment or divorce at any given time for no reason at all. It doesn’t matter how long you have been in the relationship. That’s right, you are free to leave Walmart and you better believe Walmart will definitely get rid of you no matter what it takes. These are the changes we as the associate need to fight on. Basically, Walmart has all the say. It doesn’t matter once again about Walmart size. Walmart needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE. I will not allow Walmart to LIE to me. My internal hard drive becomes like Eric Holder, former Attorney General of the United States. You can’t talk to Eric Holder crazy or be disrespectful. My external hard drive becomes like one of the greatest evolved mind of all TIMES, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

We need to send an email to Hillary Clinton on New Momentum on Paid Leaves. It would be nice if I got my 2 weeks request Paid Vacation after working 14 years. If all of the other associates who have earned accrued TIME wants to take 2 weeks, so be it. Walmart Corporation has stripped away 2 weeks of vacation down to one week even if you have accrued TIME. It is called HIRE MORE PEOPLE. STOP FIRING and FORCING OUT GOOD PEOPLE. Take a seminar on DIVERSITY, COMMUNICATION, and INTEGRITY. It is a shame Walmart strips away what the associates are entitled by the pathway of less hiring another strategy of Walmart’s INTENTIONAL behavior. Another major strategy used by Walmart is overtime. It distracts the associates who are focused on more money. This is a major strategy used by Walmart’s INTENTIONAL behavior to justify violating their 6-day work rule. Many of the associates are not asked by certain members of management to have their availability changed. Certain members of management seize the opportunity and change the associate’s availability as they see fit. Later the associates are forced to kill the overtime. If the overtime is not killed in a certain TIME frame the associates pay the price of being coached and can lose their job. A list is generated of all the associated who should kill the overtime with NO MORE EXCUSES. Those long hours and stretched out days begin to wear on the associates and they begin to miss days. Associates are called into the office for termination because of their Attendance which management controlled. What a setup. It is Time to seize the opportunity to solve some problems.

If every associate in each department put together a list of what is needed to operate their department, changes to be made, and violations then Walmart can use the terminology of TOTAL STORE. Right now it is a TOTAL WRECK. Snitch This! Here’s The Playlist for Automotive:

1.) cannot work with a skeleton crew-HIRE MORE PEOPLE

2.) telzon and printers are out of date

3.) no proper oil manual for 2015 oil specs

4.) battery rack out of date

5.) card readers keep crashing on registers

6.) tire Lifts are out of date

7.) mask are needed for techs doing fuel injections

8.) schedules are constantly adjusted because associates are placed outside their availability

9.) new check machines eat check

10.) only one phone line back in automotive

11.) hand-held telzon is freezing up and the service orders need to be placed on hand-held telzon

12.) Need new registers. Associates should not be held accountable for Wal-Mart not upgrading their registers

13.) tire machine is out of date and no custom rims can be done

14.) the program for the computers out in the shop are way out of date

If anyone in automotive has any more suggestions, please feel free to contribute. All departments on the General Merchandise Side, Grocery Side, DSD, GM Receiving solicit your concerns and ideas to HOME OFFICE or an investigative team in the Neutral Zone/MCHR (Missouri Commission On Human Rights-573-751-3325). Contact the Neutral Zone from State to State. Don’t forget only God grants GRACE.

Sall, I heard something really positive awhile back. I was watching one of my favorite shows, The Cycle. There was a message of GROWING HOPE in Oakland delivered by KWAME ANKU. He stated, ” A Small Mind focuses on the problem.” A Big Mind focuses on the solution to the problem.” “A Genius Mind sees the opportunity that lies in the problem.” WHEW! Amen to That! Another young man, Albrey Brown, told of his success in bridging the gap between the tech world (tech-quity) and diversity. On the for real side, I just wished Walmart understood Diversity. As far as Tech-quity, Walmart is so far behind in technology at store #2857. This store needs more than a remodel. I can hear Jenny Horne, state representative of South Carolina, delivering her speech. Her tearful voice let the world know she would not be a part of what the Confederate flag represented. Jenny Horne was a descendant of Jefferson Davis and she was not holding on to the ideology of slavery. Removing the shackle from our feet to our mind at the rate of $9.00 hr. will keep the associates below the poverty level, in bondage, and forever confined. Sall, we can no longer be Always A Slave At Walmart. It really felt GOOD getting off the bench and going global. That bench was so hard. I love the GRID and sitting at my desk. It is much safer here. CEO Doug McMillon needs to rethink his position on the raise increase and restore Dignity back into Walmart Corporation by giving the associates $15.00 hr.

CEO Doug McMillon took his cut, tripled his salary, and he has a big bonus package. Learn to invest in the associates and learn about Diversity. Where is the Integrity of Walmart Corporation? If another manager tells one more associate if they don’t like Wal-Mart rules find another job. The associates have their Snitch This! Here’s The Playlist. I was shooting for the genius status today. Sall, I hope the associates heard me. I like our global bench. Investment in the associates would make Walmart a better place. Why am I the enemy? I want whats best for our store?

Any person who completed reading this story today got through 6827 words. If you don’t think I have anything to report or documented think again. You Better Know It! Snitch This! Coming at you with the JULY 2015 Playlist.

Haters, Players, and Dragon Slayers

Feb1 by

I’m quite sure it was Katt Williams who said don’t hate the player hate the game. Now that it is 2015 this saying needs an update with an additional frame. Let’s take it a step further. Don’t hate the hater the game remains the same. Hating the hater will leave you emotionally drained. The Hater is a Hater because they are never willing to change. Learn from the Hater and never forget from which you came.

Haters:

Never willing to cooperate but always ready to isolate.

Moaners, criers, and complainers never believe their disclaimer.

No fault of Accountability lacking integrity and credibility.

Haters never care how you feel because haters are out for the kill.

Always ready to instigate, never ready to investigate, only to manipulate.

Who are the killers to the bone that wants to rule and rock the throne?

If you are doing well Haters will send you to jail or hell.

Haters information is neither beneficial nor reliable and will always be deniable.

Haters will never admit they are wrong? Are you ready for the dance and song?

Corruption, Bribery and Lies, Haters thinks it can all be justified.

Haters Hate!

Players:

Players can take a different path strolling down the avenue.

We saw contenders called out as pretenders smeared with manure residue.

Are you a competitor of the game or competing for your own recognition?

A team player passes the ball and will not get caught up in blind ambition.

We thought the game was in the bag when Jordan scored 60+ points. What did it cost?

The sportsman played one hell of a game and the Chicago Bulls still lost.

It’s okay to shut out the external noise and focus on one’s success.

Think about the changes you can make but do not exclude the rest.

Athletes, actors, entertainers, contestants are all players.

Are you ready to step your game up and become a Dragon Slayers?

Players Play! Ain’t no doubt. Don’t mess around and get Played out.

Dragon Slayers:

Know This! If you must insist a Dragon Slayer never quits.

No more campaigns, rolled the dice, won it twice, 2 years left, and I am through with the Bull sh…

Back in the day, it was called a quest.

In the year of our Lord, 2015, it is called a mission and you know the rest. Who was put through every test?

The Haters tried to sue me, jail me, impeach me to destroy my legacy.

Change the game, put down the sword, pulled out the pen to put an end to the Haters fantasy. Welcome To My Reality.

To savor the flavor of the food it is all about the sauce.

An organizer willing to compromise, equalize, governing/executing remaining for 2 years more and you know who is the boss.

Write the rules, update your tools, get new strategies and convey to the last players.

The pen has become mightier than the sword. A tool saved for last by the Dragon Slayer.

Dragon Slayers Slay and handle the business of the day. There is the twinkle in the eye, a smile on the face but he doesn’t play. Okay!

Are you a Hater, a Player, or a Dragon Slayer?
