FBI also raided the homes of the Duongs, the owners of Cal Waste Recycling. CWR has been under investigation for the past four years for making illegal political donations. The Mayor of Oakland, Sheng Thao, reportedly received these donations when she was on the city council.

…and now her spokesperson, Francis Zamora, has resigned. When it rains, it pours.
Her former attorney is pulling no punches as to why he quit. Also notable is the fact that other city leaders haven’t stepped up to defend her (e.g., Oakland City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas). Yeesh…

At my former employer, the new COO desperately wanted to eliminate the DEI chief, as empty a suit as has ever waddled (and not the first choice for the role…not close to the first choice).
Within a year, she got rid of two of my CXO peers, caucasian man, caucasian woman. Caucasian woman was replaced by a much younger woman of color. The caucasian man was so incredibly effective, they hired two people to replace him. THe DEI lead is still employed there.
I had a divisive, terrible employee. Regularly inserted herself into other people’s jobs. Woman of color, not Black. She used to wear micro-mini skirts to work, then complain to HR when the attorneys noticed. At the beginning of COVID, when we had layoffs, I thought “finally! I can get rid of her.” Nope. HR says she has to stay because she’s been compiling a list of nits and complaints, and the firm couldn’t take the risk. An older staffer in another department used the term “wife beater” to describe a tank top, and she just came unglued…but in that “faking it” way.
She demanded a meeting with me, our head of HR and our (prior) COO. She opened the meeting by stating that it is the natural state of human beings to be biased and that I admit that I was biased. I said that I was biased in her favor to the point that she was the highest paid of my entire team. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter.
She was well-known in our industry, I was at my wit’s end as to how I could get rid of her. Finally, one of my peers — a real curveball — took her off my hands. Professionally speaking, one of the greatest days of my life.
