Dear Choose Law Firm Brandon T. Bybee, PLC Law Firm 2 Law Firm 3 ,

High-Stakes Employment Case: Wrongful Termination and Retaliation by Cox Communications I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to present a case that has escalated from allegations of ADA noncompliance and retaliation into a clear-cut wrongful termination debacle. This case involves systemic failures at Cox Communications, including the termination of medical benefits, wage theft, and discriminatory practices, all of which culminated in a sudden, unjust separation. This case is supported by substantial evidence, active investigations, and ongoing mediation with the EEOC. Below is a summary of the key elements:

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to present a high-stakes case involving systemic workplace violations, including ADA noncompliance, retaliation, and internal compliance failures at Cox Communications. With 20 years of experience working with telecommunications giants like AT&T, I bring unparalleled insight into industry operations and standards. This case is supported by comprehensive evidence and active investigations, exposing serious gaps within Cox’s HR and compliance frameworks.

Additionally, I was employed at Cox Communications; however, my short-term disability benefits were terminated on November 21, 2024, in a coordinated effort between MetLife and Cox. This further underscores the retaliation and systemic failures at play.

Background and Strategic Importance

I have been employed by Cox Communications as an Inbound Sales Representative. Despite presenting clear medical documentation, my requests for reasonable accommodations were ignored, delayed, or dismissed. The retaliation that followed further compounded the challenges I faced. Key aspects of the case include:

• ADA Violations: Failure to engage in the interactive process and denial of reasonable accommodations.
• Retaliation: Unjustified changes to performance reviews, workload adjustments, and exclusion from advancement opportunities.
• Systemic Noncompliance: Evidence demonstrates failures within HR, compliance, and executive oversight structures.

Active Investigations

Supporting Evidence

• Medical Documentation: Letters from healthcare providers outlining accommodation needs.
• HR Correspondence: Emails and letters documenting requests, responses, and lack of action.
• Performance Reviews: Documentation of unjustified changes following accommodation requests.
• Grievance Filings: Internal grievance records and responses showcasing procedural failures.
• Visual Summaries: Timelines and charts highlighting patterns of retaliation and noncompliance.

This case represents a critical opportunity to address ADA violations and retaliation claims, and to hold Cox Communications accountable for systemic failures. With my industry knowledge, extensive documentation, and the ongoing momentum from agency investigations, I believe we have a compelling path forward.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this case further and provide access to the evidence I’ve compiled. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Sincerely,
Thomas Coates
