To Whom It May Concern:
This correspondence is a formal notice of severe procedural failure, statutory noncompliance, and administrative negligence in your handling of my unemployment case (#1906302) regarding wrongful termination from Cox Communications on January 2, 2025.
Following a detailed letter you issued that outlined the process I was required to follow, I completed every step to the letter—timely, clearly, and in full alignment with the instructions given. Yet your agency failed to comply or respond in the following areas:
The Virginia Employment Commission is not merely an arbiter of benefits—it is a fiduciary participant in an evolving legal and regulatory conflict. The process failure here undermines federal ADA and FMLA claims that require documentation from this agency. Your silence and inaction now risk becoming discoverable evidence of administrative obstruction.
If no response is received within 7 business days, I will:
I respectfully request immediate confirmation of receipt and your formal response. No stone will be left unturned.
