If the board had concerns about Colby setting up a Go Fund Me account for another employee, why did they not take this concern to her supervisor? Instead the report indicates that Perrone and Doug Parks were present when Colby was “educated” about the importance of first discussing this with her supervisor (Oct. 2020). It is the supervisor’s job to council and educate his employees, not the board directors. Where is Viola in all of this? Why is the board president “dressing down” (Doug Park’s words) an employee?

if the board president’s actions “throughout this period were motivated solely by legitimate business reasons” then he has a responsibility to bring these concerns to her supervisor and her supervisor is responsible for counseling and educating the employee. This is how employee growth and development is fostered. This is how good managers work with their staff. If the general manager cannot manage his staff then the board needs to counsel the GM. The board president  should NOT be stepping in and micromanaging the staff. Where in the world was Viola in all of this and why is he not being held accountable (along with Perrone for his actions) in the general deterioration of this situation with a valued employee?
