Mr. Flanagan

In their first Motion for Summary Judgement (MSJ), that is where the defendants try to get the case thrown out due to lack of evidence, AARP filed their exhibits under seal.

This information is so damning that they don't want the public to see it. The judge granted their order. This is how discrimination continues to happen. . .hiding things that are damning to you.

What we know for a fact, AARP lost not one, but TWO Motion for Summary Judgements (and for the record, no one files two MSJ's with the same judge, like ever). They were able to get two of the other defendants (Angela Jones and Sarah Mika) removed from the lawsuit because their whole argument up until the trial was Mr. Flanagan was the ULTIMATE decision maker- this was October 2021. It is right there in black and white (this is from their MSJ filing the part which is public).

But you see, AARP's Harvard educated lawyers are fighting a battle, so you try to strip away layer after layer of the lawsuit until they (hope they) ultimately win. Doesn't matter if you lie, as long as you can get a jury to believe you, it's fine. Thus, Mr. Flanagan went from being the Ultimate Decision Maker to a guy who just rubber stamped Mr. Loizzi's decision. Wouldn't that make Mr. Loizzi the ULTIMATE DECISION MAKER? Maybe if he had actually been involved which I believe he wasn't. (This is at trial March 2024 - see the change in narrative?!?)

But they kept the narrative Mr. Flanagan started in his deposition in 2019 alive that I am a liar, based 100% on Mr. Easleys report. Mr. Flanagan never met with me. I will reiterate, I don't believe Michael Loizzi was at all involved in the decision for my termination, when we got to court I believe that AARP's hail-mary was to put another (allegedly) gay man on the stand and then have him say:

As I have previously noted, Mr. Loizzi's name is not mentioned on a single piece of evidence nor in a single deposition (there were 13) during the 3.5 years of discovery. If there was any evidence that he was involved, we would have deposed him as part of discovery. Why didn't we? Because he wasn't involved. AARP did not produce any hard evidence during discovery nor at trail, it was just Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Loizzi saying that Mr. Loizzi made the decision and Mr. Flanagan rubber stamped it. Again, truth - who needs truth? We will make up facts to fit the new narrative we created for trial and try to win. While this strategy worked to get Mr. Flanagan off the hook for the decision, ULTIMATELY AARP has been held accountable for my discrimination which is really all that matters.

Looking at it now and in my opinion, this strategy is actually worse for them. AARP could have blamed Mr. Flanagan and Mr.Easley, both of them retired and are no longer employed there. It would have been cleaner. Following their loss at trial they could have done a press release about while this happened, they have made changes internally to make sure something like this doesn't happen again and Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Easley are retired from the organization, blah, blah, blah and move on. They didn't do that. What they did was put a quote in the Washington Blade article stating "Mr. Flanagan legally fired me." Again, weird narrative in an article about my discrimination lawsuit win proven in a court of law, but you keep lying to yourself and (trying to lie to) the public. For some reason, AARP they thought they could win - why I have NO idea as they hadn't won for the 6 years leading up to the trial, but I guess the table was set and they had to dine on their li..errrrr....narrative.

Dr. Minter-Jordan, do you really want to be the CEO to continue this burning pile of dog sh*t that was left to you by Jo Ann Jenkins? Changing narratives and lies trying to win against an employee who proved he was discriminatorily fired after 6+ years and a win at trial. I have only shared a fraction of the disgusting tactics that AARP used to try to silence me and make me go away. There is more coming. . .ALL WILL BE MADE PUBLIC.

12.16.24 - the world is watching. . . .what type of CEO are you going to be? One who continues discriminating and persecuting an employee or one who lets go of the past and looks to make a better future for AARP, its Employees, and Members. The decision is simple, I hope you choose wisely.
