proper.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
1. Less than 2 months ago in the matter of Dietz v. Cypress Semiconductor Corp., ARB No.
15-017, 3/30/16 (released 4/6/16), an Administrative Review Board of the United States
Department of Labor issued a decision in which it determined that the Complainant,
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 4/56
Page 4 of 20
Timothy C. Dietz, engaged in protected conduct while making complaints about a
compensation plan that implicated the federal mail and wire fraud statutes. This point is
supported by the following statement that appears within the footnote 32 that appears at
the bottom of page 9 of that decision:
“Mr. Dietz clearly believed that [Cypress] was carrying out a fraudulent scheme by violating state laws on payment of wages to its employees, a scheme thatnecessarily implicated interstate mail, wires, and banks.”
On page 10 of that same decision, the following statement appears that describes the
standard that Administrative Review Board used to determine whether Mr. Dietz had
engaged in protected conduct under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s whistleblower provision:
“Thus, to answer the question of whether Dietz’s actions constitute “protectedactivity” under the SOX whistleblower provision requires us to analyze whetherDietz reasonably believed not only that Cypress’s bonus plan’s compulsorydeductions violated state wage laws but also that Cypress was knowinglymisrepresenting or concealing material facts about the bonus plan from itsemployees.”
2. Information that appears on the web site of the United States Department of Justice
describes wire fraud as a scheme to commit fraud that utilizes electronic communications
in furtherance of a scheme to commit fraud. In addition, information that appears on that
web site states that “fraudulent intent is shown if a representation is made with reckless
indifference to its truth or falsity.”
3. On January 17, 2012, someone named Keith Backer, who worked for NTT on that date
sent me an e-mail message that contained a copy of the contract that NTT issued to a
corporation named _______ _______ Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “_______”)
that I have been affiliated with.
4.
NTT made the following representations within sections 3 and 5 in that contract:
a. I would be able to work as an independent contractor while working at CS
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 5/56
Page 5 of 20
throughout the entire 12-month term of that contract.
b. Neither NTT nor CS would have a right to nor would do the following
throughout the term of that contract:
i. Determine the number of hours I worked at CS per day.
ii. Control the manner or prescribe the method of accomplishing the
services that I would perform at CS.
iii. Direct me.
iv. Fire, discipline, and supervise me.
v.
Set my working conditions.
5. NTT represented within section 1 of that contract that I was to be paid by NTT “at the
applicable hourly personnel rate set forth in Exhibit A.”
6. The Exhibit A that was included with the contract NTT issued and transmitted to me by
e-mail on January 17, 2012 clearly indicated that the “Hourly Rate of the Consultant’s
Employee providing services under this Agreement” would be based upon a daily rate of
“$478/Per day.”
7. NTT represented within section 2 of that contract that it was required to notify me at least
two weeks prior to any decision it may make to terminate the contract it issued to
_______.
8.
NTT represented within section 5 of that contract that I would be able to provide services
to entities other than NTT during the term of that contract.
9. NTT sent me an e-mail message that contained a copy of its payroll schedule that would
determine the dates when NTT would issue payments to _______ for the work I
performed at CS.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 6/56
Page 6 of 20
10. Between February of 2012 and April 27, 2012, I made complaints to NTT and CS about
the following:
a. NTT having repeatedly failed to issue payments to _______ by the payroll dates
listed in NTT’s payroll schedule for the work I performed at CS. An e-mail
message that I sent to Rebecca Freund, Mr. Backer, and Sharin Newman of NTT
on February 29, 2012 is an example of a complaint that I made to NTT about
NTT having failed to issue payments to _______ by the applicable payroll date
that was listed in the payroll schedule NTT provided to me. A copy of that e-
mail message appears within the annexed Exhibit A.
b. NTT having refused to pay me overtime for overtime I worked at CS strictly
because CS had coerced me to work overtime at CS. In response to those
complaints, NTT falsely claimed that the contract it issued to _______ was
subject to a ten-hour professional workday. Sharin Newman of NTT made that
false claim twice in e-mail messages she sent to Ed Epstein of NTT on April 10,
2012 and to me on April 25, 2012. Copies of those e-mail messages appear
within the annexed Exhibit B with e-mail messages I exchanged with Ed Epstein
of NTT on that same date that concerned a request I had made to NTT to have
the contract it issued to _______ modified in order for penalties to be added to it
that would be triggered in the event that NTT were to continue to issue payments
late to _______ for work I performed at CS in 2012. The content of the second e-
mail that appears within the annexed Exhibit B confirms that I made Mr. Epstein
aware on April 10, 2012 that I was considering retaining an attorney to address
additional breaches by NTT of the contract NTT issued to _______. This point is
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 7/56
Page 7 of 20
unequivocally confirmed by the following statement that appears in the e-mail
message I sent to Mr. Epstein at 3:06 pm on April 10, 2012: “It’s my decision
alone whether to retain the services of an attorney without delay in the event of
further breaches.”
c. CS having deprived me of the ability to work as an independent contractor while
I worked at CS in 2012 that constituted tortious interference by controlling how I
worked at CS and determining the number of hours I worked per day at CS while
requiring me to consistently work overtime and longer per day than permanent
employees of CS. The remarks shown in the e-mail messages dated February 21,
2012 that Pierre Newman of CS sent to me and the e-mail message I sent to
Keith Backer of NTT on April 23, 2012 that appear within the annexed
Exhibit C clearly refer to how CS deprived me of the ability to work at CS as an
independent contractor by controlling how I performed my work at CS and the
number of hours I worked at CS per day. The e-mail message Pierre Newman
sent to me on February 21, 2012 that appears within the annexed Exhibit C
confirms that CS controlling how I performed my work at CS and supervised
me. While I worked at CS in 2012, my coworkers assigned me work associated
with Remedy tickets to complete and directed me about the sequence in which I
was to complete requests for technical assistance that were listed in Remedy
tickets. My coworkers at CS also directed me about the length of text I was to
enter into the Remedy system upon completing a request for technical assistance
for the purpose of providing a description about how I resolved requests for
technical assistance.

d. CS restricting my ability to work for other firms in my spare time during the
period I worked at CS in 2012 by requiring me to get pre-authorization from CS
in order to be able to work for other firms during that period. I recall having
talked with Keith Backer of NTT about this issue, after CS presented a form to
me that required me to disclose additional business I was involved in and obtain
pre-authorization from CS I order to perform additional work for other firms.
e. Harassment I was subjected to by Sharin Newman of NTT and Salahuddin Ilyas
of CS. Mr. Ilyas was a coworker of mine at CS in 2012. An e-mail message
dated April 25, 2012 that I sent to Ed Epstein of NTT that appears within the
annexed Exhibit D clearly refers to the harassment I was subjected to by Sharin
Newman of NTT. I reported the harassment I was subjected to by Salahuddin
Ilyas to one of my managers at CS named Pierre Newman by sending an instant
message through an electronic instant messaging system known as Microsoft
Office Communicator. When I reported that to him, I asked him to deal with Mr.
Ilyas’ harassment of me.
11. On April 27, 2012, I had a telephone conversation with Ed Epstein of NTT after I learned
that my job for working at CS had been terminated on that date and after Pierre Newman
of CS subsequently told me that he had not been involved in a decision to have that job
terminated and that he had not had any problems with me. During my telephone call with
Ed Epstein of NTT on that date, Mr. Epstein made a claim that I would later learn was
false by claiming that CS had directed NTT to terminate my job that allowed me to work
at CS in 2012. Contrary to Mr. Epstein’s claim that CS had directed NTT to terminate my
job that allowed me to work at CS in 2012, the e-mail messages that appear within the
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 9/56
Page 9 of 20
annexed Exhibit E and were sent by him, Sharin Newman, Keith Backer, and Diana
Cousins of CS collectively confirm that Mr. Epstein conspired with Sharin Newman and
Mr. Backer to have my job terminated on April 10, 2012 and then had Sharin Newman
execute that plan to terminate that job on April 27, 2012.
12. On May 2, 2012, Rebecca Freund of NTT sent an e-mail message to Sharin Newman and
Keith Backer that makes it clear that I have been blacklisted by NTT since that date. A
copy of that e-mail message appears within the annexed Exhibit F.
13. Following the termination of my job at CS on April 27, 2012, I was contacted by e-mail
by representatives of two recruiting firms in October of 2013 and December of 2013
about the possibility of having me work at CS again. Copies of the e-mail messages I
exchanged with those recruiters about possibly working at CS again in New York City
appear within the annexed Exhibit G. With regard to the interview that had been
scheduled for October 7, 2013 to be between CS and I, a friend of mine had an interview
on that same date with CS for the same job that my interview had been arranged. His
interview had been scheduled to occur after mine. Although it was explained to me by the
recruiter who scheduled my interview with CS in October of 2013 that CS decided to
cancel its interview with me because it wanted to finish considering other candidates for
that job, the fact that my friend was able to interview with CS for that job after my
interview with CS had been scheduled suggests that CS decided to cancel its interview
with me for some other reason.
14. Presently, I am unemployed and have been so for more than one year in spite of having
made enormous efforts to try to find employment. The efforts that I have made to try to
find employment have consisted of the following:
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 10/56
Page 10 of 20
a. Consistently searching and applying for jobs online.
b. Printing signs that make it clear that I am seeking help to try to find a job and
displaying those signs in public places that have included on Wall Street in
Manhattan, in Washington Square Park in Manhattan, by Pier 11 in lower
Manhattan, and right outside of the headquarters of JP Morgan on Park Avenue
in Manhattan.
c. Attending military veteran job fairs in Manhattan and talking with recruiters for
JP Morgan, AIG, Prudential, and other firms.
d.
Asking officials of New York City government agencies for help with finding a
job.
15. Presently, I am also quickly running out of my savings, have large bills to pay, have
urgent medical needs I have had to neglect because of NTT failure to pay _______ what I
have been owed, need to find a way to somehow obtain a lawyer to represent me in
frivolous lawsuit that was filed against me by a former slumlord of mine, and am living
in subsidized housing for formerly homeless people with an extremely confrontational
roommate that tossed my property around our shared apartment earlier today.
16. While I realize that Judge Odegard requested that I not print on both sides of the paper in
papers that I submit in this matter, since I am unemployed, have no hope of finding
employment soon, am running out of my savings quickly, and it would be more
inexpensive to print this reply affidavit and have it served upon all parties by mail by
printing on both sides, I am choosing to follow the example Judge Odegard set in her
April 25, 2016 Order in this matter by printing this Reply Affidavit on both sides of the
paper, as was done with that April 25, 2016 Order.

ARGUMENTS
17. When I complained both to NTT and CS between February of 2012 and April 27, 2012
that NTT was failing to issue payments for work I performed at CS in 2012 by applicable
payroll dates listed in the payroll schedule that NTT had provided to me, I was engaging
in protected activity under the employee protection provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
and reasonably believed both that:
a. NTT’s failure to make those payments by the applicable deadlines violated
applicable New York State labor laws and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
b.
NTT was misrepresenting its commitment to strictly and consistently adhere to
the payroll dates listed in NTT’s payroll schedule by failing to make payments to
_______ by the applicable deadlines within that payroll schedule for all of the
earnings I was owed for work I performed at CS (including overtime) and that
CS subsequently confirmed I had worked by approving timesheets I submitted to
it and those that were submitted to it on my behalf for work I performed at CS.
18.
When NTT sent me an e-mail message that contained a copy of its payroll schedule, that
payroll schedule did not indicate that NTT would issue payments by the payroll dates
listed within it strictly for regular wages I earned by working at CS in 2012 that were
billable at $59.75 on an hourly basis and that payments by NTT for overtime pay I earned
by working at CS in 2012 would be issued only after litigation took place between NTT
and I. For these reasons, it is quite apparent that NTT committed wire fraud in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 while also violating New York State’s labor laws that relate to the
payment of wages, the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and section 349 of
New York State’s General Business Law that pertains to the covenant of good fair and
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 12/56
Page 13 of 20
fair dealing. Essentially, NTT’s repeated and willful acts of wire fraud that caused me
harm stem from NTT having sent an e-mail message to me in which it clearly
misrepresented the payroll dates when all of my earnings resulting from the work I
performed at CS in 2012 would be paid by NTT.
19. When I complained to NTT and CS about CS determining the number of hours I worked
per day and requiring me to consistently work overtime in violation of the terms of the
contract NTT issued, I was engaging in protected activity under the employee protection
provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reasonably believed the following:
a.
NTT had misclassified me as an independent contractor in violation of the
federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York State’s labor laws in the
contract it issued to _______ and that CS had consistently been engaging in acts
consistent with tortious interference that caused me to have been misclassified by
NTT as such.
i. I further believed that I was entitled to receive the entire array of benefits
that CS made available to its permanent employees because NTT had
misclassified me as an independent contractor and CS was controlling me
as if I was one of its employees.
b. NTT had violated Section 349 of New York State’s General Business Law.
c.
NTT committed an act of wire fraud by sending me an e-mail message
containing a copy of the contract it issued to _______ in which NTT made
numerous misrepresentations with reckless indifference to their truth or falsity of
those misrepresentations. Specifically, when I made those complaints to NTT
and CS, I believed that NTT had wrongfully failed to make CS aware of the
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 13/56
Page 14 of 20
terms within the contract NTT issued to _______ that would be violated if CS
engaged in acts that determined the number of hours I worked per day at CS,
determined the method, manner, or sequence in which I performed my work at
CS, restricted my ability to work at other firms during my spare time throughout
the term of the contract NTT issued to _______, etc.
20. When I complained to NTT about Credit Suisse’s work schedules for contingent workers
that was really about my entitlement to receiving overtime pay and Sharin Newman
responded by fraudulently claiming that my job at CS in 2012 was subject to a ten-hour
professional workday in an e-mail message she sent to Ed Epstein of NTT on April 10,
2012 and then to me on April 25, 2012, I was engaging in protected activity under the
employee protection provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reasonably believed the
following:
a. NTT willfully had violated all of the following laws:
i. New York State’s labor laws.
ii.
The Fair Labor Standards Act.
iii. The federal wire fraud statute (18 U.S.C. § 1343) in furtherance of a
scheme to illegally deprive me of income I earned from the work I
performed at CS in 2012.
iv.
Section 349 of New York State’s General Business Law.
b. NTT flagrantly and willfully misrepresented the terms of the contract it issued to
_______ by claiming that my job at CS was subject to a ten-hour professional
workday in spite of the fact that no such characterization exists in the contract
NTT issued to _______.

compared with providing that assistance remotely from my desk.
b. Whether I should apologize to an end-user for having been unavailable at a
previously agreed upon date and time to provide technical assistance to that end-
user.
c. Whether I should provide lengthy and detailed descriptions that described how I
resolved requests for technical assistance from end-users or keep those accounts
short. Sheldon Samlal of CS required me to keep them brief.
22. When I talked with Keith Backer about CS restricting my ability to work for other firms
in my spare time during the term of the contract NTT issued to _______, he basically told
me not to be concerned about it.
23. With regards to the retaliation NTT committed against me in response to the valid
complaints I had been making against both it and CS to both it and CS, the following
statements apply:
a. At 3:06 pm on April 10, 2012, I sent an e-mail message to Ed Epstein of NTT
that appears in an excerpted form as the second e-mail message shown within the
annexed Exhibit B. By sending Mr. Epstein that e-mail message, I was
continuing to engage in protected activity with NTT while:
i. Expressing displeasure about NTT’s refusal to modify the terms of the
contract it issued to _______ in order to add penalties to it that would be
triggered by NTT’s continuing breaches of that contract.
ii. Informing Mr. Epstein that I might retain an attorney in the event of
further breaches of that contract by NTT
b. Less than one hour after I sent that e-mail message to Mr. Epstein, he sent an e-
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 16/56
Page 17 of 20
mail message at 4:03 pm on April 10, 2012 to Sharin Newman, Keith Backer,
and two other people that worked at NTT in which he wrote the following:
“It is my strong recommendation that you plan for his exit. Inform the
client, start looking for a backfill and get him out of our account.”
A copy of that e-mail appears as the second e-mail message within the annexed
Exhibit E.
24. There can be no dispute whatsoever that a causal nexus exists between the protected
activities I engaged in with NTT and CS and NTT’s decision to subject me to adverse
retaliation actions by terminating my job at CS, blacklisting me, failing to notify me at
least two weeks prior to the termination that it would happen, and besmirching my
reputation within NTT and CS in a way that has made it impossible for me to work at CS
again.
25. Furthermore, contrary to claims NTT made that my job at CS was subject to a ten-hour
professional workday, remarks made by an external recruiter named _______ _______ in
an e-mail message she sent me on September 24, 2013 and an external recruiter named
_______ _______ in an e-mail message she sent me on December 20, 2013 clearly
indicate that work at CS for the type of job I held at CS in 2012 was subject to an eight-
hour workday. The e-mail messages I received from those two recruiters that substantiate
this point are shown within the annexed Exhibit G.
26. In light of the information that I have shared in this Reply Affidavit and previously in the
other papers and exhibits I submitted in this matter, there can be no doubt that the
following statements are true:
a.
I engaged in protected activities against NTT and CS simultaneously under the
employee protection provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Fair Labor
8/17/2019 Slightly Redacted May 12, 2016 Supplement to Prior Motion in Opposition to Respondents' Motion to Dismiss
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/slightly-redacted-may-12-2016-supplement-to-prior-motion-in-opposition-to 17/56
Page 18 of 20
Standards Act.
b. As a result of engaging in protected activities against NTT and CS that were
largely based upon improper conduct by CS, NTT subjected me to adverse
employment actions that CS condoned and was otherwise recklessly indifferent
about.
c. The true administration of justice demands that an order be issued immediately
in this forum in the form of a partial summary decision in my favor that will
compel NTT to issue a payment to _______ within 24 hours of its receipt of that
Order for the following:
i. The 100.25 overtime hours I worked at CS in 2012 for which CS
approved timesheets that NTT willfully refused to pay. I am owed
$8,984.91 for the 100.25 hours I worked at CS in 2012. That amount is
calculated from the following equation:
= (100.25 overtime hours worked x $478 daily rate) /
(8 hours per day x 1.5 overtime multiple)
ii. Pre-judgment interest that dates back to when those payments were due
in 2012.
iii. Post-judgment interest.
iv.
Two weeks of severance pay in lieu of the fact that NTT willfully defied
its contractual obligation to provide me with 2 weeks of prior notice
before it terminated my job at CS in 2012. In regards to this, it can
reasonably be projected that the severance pay NTT must be ordered to
pay to _______ immediately should be equivalent to the 50-hour

workweeks I consistently worked at CS in 2012. Therefore, it is entirely
equitable to demand that NTT be ordered to immediately pay _______ an
additional $6,572.50 in severance pay, along with pre-judgment and post-
judgment interest that pertains to it and dates back to April of 2012.
27. Due to the fact that NTT elected to illegally blacklist me, equitable relief further demands
that an Order be issued in this forum that compels it to pay me front-pay from April 27.
2012 that extends to the rest of my life. The amount of that front-pay award should be
discussed with additional pertinent matters at a hearing that demands an immediate an
expedited scheduling.
28. An order must be issued in this forum that also grants me the value of the entire array of
benefits that CS and NTT made available to their permanent employees, together with
pre-judgment and post-judgment interest applicable to the value of those benefits.
29. The information in the annexed Exhibit H consists of copies of the timesheets that CS
approved for the work I performed in 2012.
WHEREFORE, Complainant _______ _______ demands that this application be granted in all
respects and for such other and further relief as to this Court seems just and proper.

Attached is a modified invoice for the last pay period and is consistent with the amounts your

sought through the Department of Labor and a civil lawsuit.
also intend to leverage Fleet Week to draw attention to how your firm and Credit Suisse have
proven to actually treat military veterans .

RE: recent invoice
Not a problem. Why not copy the attorney at CS on this .. .or should I?
You're a vendor and your services were no longer needed due to your attitude . You proved that
in our firm and at CS. We offered you to CS for free and outside of any contract
limitations. They said no
n
effect, they made the choice for you to longer be there not us. f they wanted you, then you
would still be there.
I have an idea; if they want you back, then have Dylan reach out to me. I will work it out with
him. What do you think ... .do they want you ... .want to try?
Send me all the emails you want, but if you want to get paid then I would suggest that your
corporation fix the invoice .

Your process requires a timesheet submitted with Credit Suisse's timesheet system and approved
by Credit Suisse management. How can that be done after your firm terminated my contract and
access o CreditSuisse's imesheet ystem.The lawsuits referred o earlieralso nvolved irms
similar to yours that were breaking federal and New York state labor laws and resulted in the
contractors winning the suits. I reported harrasment that was happening and never properly
investigated nor addressed. Instead, retaliatory action was taken that caused the end of my
contract. I always exhibited professionalism during my tenure at CS while those I worked with
didn't always and became a distraction. Thanks for making my day by strengthening my lawsuit.

You can put up a billboard for all I care. You failed at your engagement. You soured the people
around you and they didn't want your services any longer. That goes for MISI and Credit
Suisse. We no longer wanted to acquire your corporation's services. We approach Credit Suisse
to see if they wanted to keep you. We offered them to have you go direct or through any other
corporation. They declined and said they no longer wanted you. I don't think they had a
problem with your technology offering but you negatively affected the team. They no longer
wanted you. That's a fact
Your actions though the time we acquired your services and since have proven we made the right
decision. Honestly, I think Credit Suisse .made the right one as well. They could have kept you
and decided not.
So you can threaten me and insult me all you want. Fact is, I will suggest to our accounting
group that your corporations invoice not be processed until it is accurate and complete. When
we get that (with approved time sheets) it will get paid in that time period. Until that happens I
will suggest that we don't process it.
You receiving payment is in your corporation's hands.

RE: recent invoice
You are not eligible for overtime. Your invoice will not beprocessed until correct
Credit Suisse contacted us last week to discuss you. They made it clear (and they are correct),
that they have no association with you. Their relationship is with us and not you. That's what
consulting is all about.
And, you may not care about your attitude, but this is the reason you are no longer with us and
the reason Credit Suisse agreed with us that your engagement needed to end. The same issues
that you created with
MISI
they echoed were happening in their environment. You even
admitted to me that you claimed people were harassing you there. They had the same experience
as us (very negative) . You created your own issues .. .YOU ARE THE REASON YOU ARE NO
LONGER THERE
So, you soured your relationship with us and also them. We approached them and were going to
allow you to work direct or through another corporation (with no strings no fees). They declined
and said they no longer wanted you.
Your attitude stinks and I am done trying to help you. Your invoice will be processed according
to our normal procedure and I will make sure it doesn ' t get processed until it is correc t (no
exceptions). When it is submitted with time sheets and correct, then we will process along with
all our other consultants .
You were a vendor of ours (not an employee) and I will trea t you as such under the law . Your
invoice is wrong and won't be processed until it is correct.
Have a great day and weekend .
