TRANSCRIPT
00:00 = Intro
So, what I’m going to recount to you here are the facts surrounding Allstate’s discrimination against me. Although there’s much more I can say (about what Allstate did to me), I’m going to stick to the indisputable facts. Facts which are independently verifiable. Facts which come from sources whose accuracy cannot be assailed.
To put it briefly: Allstate only fired the black guy who failed an actuarial exam. It kept everyone else who also failed, and even replaced him with people who had drastically less exam prowess. Prior to terminating him, the company subjected him to disparate treatment and harassment for years.
Okay, so, here’s how it unfolded...
01:23 = Hiring
01:49 = Qualifications
02:06 = ASA Status (First Credential)
b. I’m going to leave it at that. So, back to the exams.
02:58 = Disparate Treatment (Salary, Privileges)
Running throughout my 3-year tenure was Allstate’s continual refusal to let me work remotely. I asked management on a regular basis if I could work from home. They denied my request every time. Yet, they’ve allowed everyone else from the actuarial department to work from home. In fact, one such employee worked in Maryland (700 miles away).
Allstate let everyone work from home, except the black guy.
04:13 = Eighth Exam Passed
05:07 = "1-in-3 Rule"
05:28 = $1,025 Discrepant Payment
ii. Tetyana Dostie found herself in the same boat as me; Allstate never made her pay for the exam fee
iii. Josh Garcia, Kazuhiko Nagai. And on & on.
06:27 = Termination
He said the reason was because I failed an actuarial exam. Neither he nor my manager gave any other reason.
He added that this was “extremely rare”.
07:09 = Illegitamacy I (Termination Rationale)
b. Tetyana Dostie
c. Josh Garcia
d. Phil Kite
e. Anna Lunder
f. Kazuhiko Nagai
g. Bridget Tennant
Moreover, Allstate had a number of employees who were never even required to take exams. Including, but not limited to, Nasreen Ali.
08:12 = Illegitamacy II (Replacement Hires)
The first was Patricia Boland. She had zero exams to her name. The second was Christopher Mirisola. He had zero exams to his name.
So, Allstate fired me – a guy with 8 exams passed – and replaced me with two people who combined to have 0 exams passed.
Remember: Allstate fired me “solely” because I failed an exam.
Indeed, about a year after firing me Allstate told state authorities that it fired me “solely” because I failed an exam. It said so under oath.
09:19 = Pretext
b. Allstate had plenty of actuarial employees who were never even required to take exams. Allstate never fired them. All of them were of a different demographic.
c. Allstate had employees who stopped taking exams while never achieving the exam success of the black guy. All of them were of a different demographic. Allstate never fired them.
d. Allstate even replaced me with people who had no exam prowess whatsoever. Both of whom were of a different demographic.
10:38 = Current Status
ii. Yet all along, Allstate rewarded its non-black-male employees who never even got close. Never even entered the marathon.
iii. I think this picture summarizes it best.
12:04 = Outro
The trouble – as you might know (if you’ve watched my video on a judge’s perjury) – is that these facts run counter to the widespread propaganda of black inferiority. Propaganda most popularly propelled by the Ku Klux Klan. Propaganda that a Florida judge perjured himself in order to uphold. Others have engaged in harmful acts & omissions as well.
These facts, however, exist forever. And the facts that I’ve presented to you here are independently verifiable; and binary. There is no room for interpretation (lower salary vs higher salary; work-from-home denied vs work-from-home allowed; thousand-dollar payment vs no payment; fired vs not fired).
The bottom line is: Allstate discriminates on the basis of race, sex, and color; and it retaliates against those who complain about the discrimination.
