Falsifying documents?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the bootlegging era of the 1920\u2019s, Atlantic City was known for its booming success and questionable corruption.\u00a0 While AC has experienced an unfortunate decline since the pandemic, the tendencies to engage in unethical activities seem to have withstood the test of time.\u00a0A former Ocean Casino Resort executive has filed a lawsuit, claiming she was terminated from her position in retaliation for acting as a whistleblower.\u00a0 She had questioned the submission of paperwork to the New Jersey gaming division, defining it as falsified.\u00a0 In response to her concern, the director of the state agency suggested that the executive be removed from her position.<\/p>\n

In addition to the lack of support<\/a> provided to the former executive for her role as a whistleblower, she was also told that her delivery of her complaint was too harsh.\u00a0 Based on that feedback, she is alleging discrimination.\u00a0 The arguably falsified documents that were sent to the NJ gaming division include the temporary versus permanent position of the surveillance director.\u00a0 There is an apparent dispute over whether or not the surveillance director, who was hired in January 2019, was hired for temporary or permanent employment. \u00a0State regulation dictates that if a casino hires a temporary surveillance director, the position must transition into a permanent role within four months.<\/p>\n

Contrary to what regulation requires, the surveillance director was demoted from his position six months after hiring and was replaced by a new director.\u00a0 There were recorded performance issues, which led to his demotion.\u00a0 At the audit committee meeting, it was recommended that the former director be listed as a temporary appointment.\u00a0 They were encouraged to not mention the events of his hiring or demotion in the meeting minutes.\u00a0 Liability was at stake if stated otherwise.\u00a0 The executive who has filed the lawsuit claims she asked for the minutes to be adjusted to reflect accuracy.\u00a0 Her refusal to support unethical business practices led to her termination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
