In 2024, an employee of Commerce Casino reported a business executive for misconduct, including retaliation, verbal, and psychological abuse. Human Resources employees then engaged in intimidation tactics and retaliation, targeting the employee for termination. Their conduct was a key source of charges filed by a senior investigator with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Civil Rights Division for violations of state and federal law.

That former employee is the author of this website and is sharing these experiences for the protection of others. These include:

• Retaliation by senior HR manager Iveta Vardanyan and HR investigators Rosa Vides-Espinoza and Bernadatte Palacios.
