Everything in its right place. This is the mantra I repeat to myself when things are not moving a fast as I want them to. From the age of 10 I was set to go go go. I tried every sport. Made every friend for better and worse. Found darkness and ran fast toward that until the Army reformed me. Education and patient mentors got me here today.

It is very difficult to believe I am in the right place when everything is so quiet. I'm used to constant activity, constant communications with other people, and the long-term relationship building that comes from years of designing training suited for each individual person I was charged with training for a product or mission. But there is nothing now except my own drive to exist and search for truth.

I need legal help. Quickly. My abuser is set to retire from the Minnesota State Lottery on July 7th to escape accountability for the destruction caused by her tenure. I made several reports of a hostile work environment, all ignored by the Lottery. I was pushed out so the CIO could retire without this on her record. But they victimized and mobbed me until they created lies to throw me away before they had to review my actual work for my probationary period. She and my manager, Michael, never gave me that chance at all. They silenced me, are silencing my coworkers, and threatening them with their jobs by removing their ability to do the work they've been assigned.

A culture of abuse has formed over the previous years since the former Director was ousted for drinking on the job. But people seem to forget all of that and suddenly the executives are all in charge of keeping each other in check. So they don't. Then they hold the frontline employees responsible for the hostile work environment they have created.

Make no mistake about what I am saying: The staff at the Minnesota State Lottery are being abused and coerced into silence by the HR Director, the CIO Sue Nelson, and the manager Michael Serio her enforcer. There is another manager scared for his career as Sue threatens everyone into silence on her way out to avoid this accountability. She put it all on me instead and kicked me out the door with her problems after just 10 weeks. Any conversations with my coworkers will validate what I am saying. I am desperate for answers and assistance.

The State Office of the Legislative Auditor can tell me nothing about what they are doing about my termination, because I am a whistleblower with several reports on this. This is the other reason they got rid of me. I was willing to speak up on the violations of duty and moral conscience being perpetrated against the employees at the Roseville HQ.

The phrase used daily for this nightmare to end is the retirement date of the CIO Sue Nelson, July 7th. Sue didn't allow me to make it that far. Also. I had been asking for accommodations for my PTSD for weeks. Lottery HR refused to discuss my needs until the VA provided documentation from my doctors. I never got that chance.
