Right wing gun nut who claimed she was fired for having a concealed permit lied

[RedFred]

A memo outlining reasons a Roanoke social services worker was fired last week cites performance problems but makes no mention of the concealed weapons permit she said led to her dismissal.

Her claim of being represented by lawyers from a prominent Virginia gun rights advocacy group was also called into question.

Storm Durham, 22, became an instant social media sensation among gun rights advocates and conservative media after her posts about her firing from the city’s Department of Social Services last week on Facebook and Twitter.

She was asked by The Roanoke Times to share the memo and never supplied it, but did share it Tuesday with a Roanoke television station. A photograph of it was posted to the WSLS-TV (Channel 10) website.

It lists the reasons for her dismissal as “failing to perform tasks required by the job, when efforts to correct issues related to job responsibilities have not been adhered to in the areas of training, missed work, documentation, time management, assessing safety, engaging families, workplace safety concerns and professionalism.”

It also lists a series of six meetings with Durham about her performance beginning Oct. 27 — the month she was hired — and continuing through Feb. 22. According to the memo, the meetings were about Durham’s behavior during training, attendance, dress code, performance deficiencies and professionalism.

A Feb. 5 meeting involved discussion of a “workplace safety concern.”

It makes no specific mention of firearms or her concealed weapons permit.

Storm Durham @chelstorrm

I was fired today. From Roanoke City Social Services, serving as a damn good social worker. I was fired for having a concealed carry permit. Not the gun, the permit. I was escorted by 3 city police officers bc I am a "safety risk to the building"

Termination memo varies with ex-city social services worker's account of why she was fired | Roanoke News | roanoke.com

Oh, so anyone with concealed carry permit is a right-wing gun nut? That's false, you're a dumb hater.


"She described the dismissal memo she signed when she was fired as mentioning performance issues, but said at the top of the list was a workplace safety concern.

Durham said she asked about that item and was told by the assistant director that her possession of a concealed weapons permit made her a safety risk in the building and for co-workers."

There was six meetings to discuss her performance, and she failed to make any changes.... Seems to have nothing to with her permit.

Trumpelstiltskins are desperate for victimization it's in their DNA no matter what they'll try to make themselves the victim who's righteous in their discrimination, hatred & fear of others.

I shall start calling you Ms Sarah Sanders. You are making a career out of defending psychopathic liars.
