I Have a Very Strong Witness to…Manager Dishonesty & Fraud

How can I prove what I’m averring here? Two ways, actually: verifiable person-to person conversations, and more powerfully—text messages, which legally serve as a written account. I shared the following information with others, and they recall both the timeframe and the content. Here are two examples that show that Kelsey has behaved unprofessionally and dishonestly within the Pima County Conservation Lands and Resources department. Both of these are verifiable, and I would swear to both under oath in a courtroom setting.

1. In February of 2024, I became aware that a shoulder injury was going to need medical attention. At a Monday morning ‘check-in meeting’, I informed my supervisor, Kelsey, that I had injured myself at home, and would soon-after learn that my left shoulder’s rotator cuff had been “99%” shorn off, according to a local general surgeon. Kelsey said something then that I shocked me. She seemed so honest, and yet, she offered me a financial solution that can only be categorized as fraudulent. Kelsey offered for me to take care of this injury financially with a Pima County Workman’s Compensation claim. I had clearly stated only a minute earlier that I had incurred the injury at home via my own stupidity, and she even lowered her voice as she spoke those words (one could hear conversations through a poorly connected space between her office window and wall, and we could often hear the goings-on next door). I politely declined Kelsey’s offer to falsely take advantage of a Workman’s Comp Insurance process, veering away from that conversation due to my discomfort with what had just happened. Essentially, Kelsey had offered to lie on my behalf, and wanted me to become a willing accomplice and party to that lie. It’s ironic that my honesty that day saved Pima County in excess of $90,000, and that later this same individual would again be dishonest as she created wrongful circumstance to be rid of me after working almost the full year of my probationary period.
2. The second thing that Kelsey did that was a less shocking to me was telling me about a minor vehicle accident that she had in a Pima County vehicle that was not her fault. As we drove together that morning (she was driving), she told me that she was “able to get a $10,000 check from her personal insurance company for a crick in her neck”, and that she “wouldn’t mind if that happened again.” I don’t understand how she collected from her personal insurance company from a secular fender-bender, but then I know little of insurance policies. She also stated that her ‘injury’ was minor when I inquired about its seriousness.

So, this is the person behind the ‘nice’ professional that everyone gets to see at work in the Pima County Conservation and Land resources department. I’d be willing to bet that Ellie, my peer there at the time, and others have heard this latter story as well. It will be a simple thing to prove these accusations, when needed.
