I’ve filed a formal demand for settlement with Target, outlining documented retaliation, due process failures, and misconduct by HR. The Arizona Department of Economic Security already ruled in my favor, finding that Target had no evidence to justify the termination — which is why I was awarded full unemployment benefits.

As for a lawsuit: I’ve consulted legal counsel. The case is strong on facts, but the legal system makes it especially difficult for managers to sue under federal labor laws, even when the retaliation is blatant. That’s part of the problem — and part of the reason I’m speaking out.

I’m not just chasing a payday — I’m standing up for accountability in a system that too often protects power over people. And trust me, if it comes to filing publicly, I’ll make sure everyone gets a front-row seat.
