How A Bad Employer Can Traumatize Workers For Life - Wingspan Portfolio Advisors

Wingspan Portfolio Advisors contracted for Bank of America and now JP Morgan. Managers Melanie Pellegrino, Justin Belter, Kevin Conn, David Payne, and Jason Dickard acted negligently, forcing Americans to lose their homes. Wingspan Portfolio Advisors also discriminated against minorities in Hiring, Pay and Promotions and were sued for discrimination. Mgrs. referred to Blacks as "Niggers" and "Roaches". It's my belief Wingspan and BOA are complicit in the largest Mortgage Fraud in U.S. History.

Wingspan Portfolio Advisors - A snapshot in Corporate Corruption, Abuse, and Racism

UPDATE: Wingspan CEO Steve Horne has been OUSTED after the company failed to make even its FIRST payment on a reported $18.8 million dollar loan. Housing Wire also reports that Steve Horne attempted to regain control of the company and he failed at this measure too. Apparently investors grew nervous about the missed loan payment and other 'questionable' decisions Steven Horne made as Wingspan CEO, including devoting Wingspan's philanthropic resources to the singing career of a family member. It is stated Steve Horne mixed personal expenses with business expenses.

One notable quote from the Housing Wire article announcing Steven Horne's ouster was this:

“It appears Wingspan does not care for their employees, families nor the community as they also did not inform Brevard County workforce of the layoffs,” one former Wingspan employee at the Melbourne location told HousingWire.

The former employee, who wished to remain anonymous, also told HousingWire that Wingspan created a hostile work environment in Melbourne, which caused clients to abandon the extension of their contracts, leading to the layoffs.

Well, well.. It's not news to me that Wingspan took its way of doing business down to Florida and was rebuffed. From my experience, these guys have always done business in a nasty, ruthless manner. Look at the reviews many of their Florida employees have given them. They do business in a "Texas" Fashion which is no holds barred, fuck everyone, profit over people type of fashion and Florida simply wasn't having that shit. They started to lose contracts left and right.

Executives Justin Belter, Melanie Pellegrino, Jason Dickard, and several others (including Director Kevin Conn) all left right before Steven Horne was ousted. They all left around the same time. Suddenly. Out the Blue. Now that sounds like these guys were PUSHED OUT but who knows. That's a strange way to leave all of a sudden. Especially around the same time. From what I heard the bankers wanted entirely new leadership so they most likely were forced out.

Can Anyone say "POETIC JUSTICE" and Can I Get An "AMEN"!

Looks like Justin Belter, Jason Dickard and another Wingspan Executive named Cesar Hernandez have hurriedly started another company called Agility 360 in Carrollton, TX with a fancy website and they are putting out 'press releases' notifying the public they have hired 'each other'..lol. The website is so new it hasn't even been rated by my security software. After reading all of the fancy wording about what this company does I pretty much gather it does a whole lot of nothing.

According to the Agility 360 Website the company --> "resolves and prevents operational challenges for banks, lenders, insurers and investors resulting from economic fluctuations, regulatory demands, and industry re-positioning. Our unique engagement model increases operational adaptability while reducing financial, operational and compliance risk or exposure. "

And again I don't know about you but that sounds like they are doing a whole lot of 'nothing'. Pretty much sitting pretty in jobs where they try to give 'advice' about something they know 'nothing about'. Maybe the flashy website and over the top language will work for them. The poor bastards just might make a good go of it. They are going after big banks after all, and white folks with money aren't known for being the smartest tools in the shed. Some are quite stupid in fact. Just look at how many have been fooled out of large sums of money by Nigerian hustlers. So the large corporations just may send a lot of business their way. They probably won't care that these so-called 'experts' started this company after damn near driving their last company into financial ruin.

"They've taken off their robes, and now they sit in corner offices in business suits;
however they still think THE SAME"

"For they WILL be evil people. For plain human people, both power and money can corrupt. For corporate "people" with no innate sense of fairness and no instilled morality, the corruption is a certainty."

Be careful about the employment you take. Especially in Texas. A state known for Oil, Cowboys, Start-ups and Crooks.

A bad employer can do more than hurt you emotionally, financially, or cripple any other career prospects. A truly bad employer can make you withdraw from the Job Market entirely. The experience one gains from working with a ruthless and cutthroat employer can leave one permanently scarred.

I speak from experience. More people should speak from experience. I had over several years of work experience when during a period of unemployment after a layoff, I heard about a small company in Carrollton, TX which was hiring for Bank of America as a third party vendor. That small company was Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, located at 4100 Midway, Suite 1110, Carrollton, TX 75007. After interviewing for a position with the company, I was hired on the spot.

The first few weeks working at Wingspan felt ok. The work was not too difficult and the management told us constantly we could become permanent with hard work. So we worked hard. All of us. However, in a short time, I began to notice what I felt were very unethical business practices by the company. I was instructed to lie on more than one occasion when speaking to Bank of America customers regarding loan documents. Management was non supportive and were at times outright racist against the African American employees. I, along with others, started to notice many white employees being hired permanent whereas the black employees were not even though their work was of high quality. Management also became openly hostile to black employees as well.

I left the company feeling disillusioned with Corporate America.

The last few days I worked at the company and I saw the warped mentality and lack of ethics of managers who treated the blacks with such contempt and back-handedness; and it became so depressing I didn't know if I could ever work for another company again.

I had a realization that Corporate America is the white man's domain. It is his world. We only play in it. For the first time in my life, I understand the importance of African Americans to become entrepreneurs in higher numbers than we are currently. We will never be treated as complete equals working for white people in traditional corporate America. No matter our work ethics, values, education or experience we will always be pushed to the second tier. I became resentful of corporate America and to this day liken Corporate America to crooks and crony capitalism.

It took months of health issues from the stress from the job, dealing with the racist comments such as when one of the managers referred to the black employees as "roaches" openly and to one male employee in particular as "nigger". When you experience that you will never get over it. It will mold your perception of white people, especially Southern Rednecks in positions of power, forever.

That is why I wrote this blog. Don't let white people no-matter what titles "THEY" give "THEMSELVES" take your dignity. Stand up for your dignity. At the end of the day, they may take your job, but don't let them take your dignity.

Wingspan Portfolio Advisors Showed Preferential Treatment to White Employees over Black Employees

“Wingspan Portfolio Advisors engaged in a policy, practice and custom to consider race in connection with employment decisions… and treat non-black employees more favorable than similarly situated black employees, including… disciplining black employees more harshly than non-black employees… promoting non-black employees into open positions over qualified black employees… removing qualified black employees and replacing them with non-black employees… waiving job requirements for non-black employees but not for similarly situated black employees.”

More Bad News (Layoffs) For Wingspan Portfolio Advisors. The Company is SINKING fast.

THIS IS A VIDEO OF THE MONROE LAYOFF. HOWEVER THIS MONTH WINGSPAN ANNOUNCED ITS CLOSING ITS FLORIDA OFFICE AND LAYING OFF 150 WORKERS THERE. PERMANENTLY. And to think Wingspan's FAILED EXECUTIVES, Justin Belter, Jason Dickard and others have rushed to start another company, called Agility 360, in Carrollton, TX.It seems the website for Agility 360 was thrown up overnight. Their Facebook page has a few photos. Most are of Justin Belter and Jason Dickard standing by the Agility 360 door sign smiling but looking 'out of sorts'. Sort of like they are both sleeping out of their cars and tried to rush and put themselves together for the photo. I can't allow myself to feel sorry for these assholes because they treated so many people, primarily blacks, like shit. At the height of Wingspan's "glory" these guys ruled the roost like dictators. Doing whatever the hell they wanted. Walking the fuck over people in my opinion and as well as many former employees I've spoken to. Their new company, Agility 360, is suppose to be in the business of 'advising' other firms on how to run more efficiently and survive challenges. If they were so good, why did Wingspan FAIL? It has closed offices and laid off hundreds of staff in every state its ventured into. It's CEO has stepped down. The company is STRUGGLING. These guys were NOT good executives. They are just good at Marketing (as Steven Horne was) but not at EXECUTING.

Justin Belter, FAILED WINGSPAN EXEC, GRINS After Being Hired By Agility 360-WHITE PRIVILEGE AT WORK

Justin Belter, Failed Wingspan Exec and one HUGE Son Of A Bitch has been hired by other FAILED WINGSPAN EXECS (yes.. they are hiring each other) to run a new startup called Agility 360. Believe it or not, these bums are trying to convince the public they are mortgage 'experts'. WTF? They left Wingspan Portfolio Advisors in RUINS. Belter Rode The "Wingspan GRAVY TRAIN" until the WHEELS CAME OFF....FUCK UP AT ONE JOB. NO PROBLEM. WE'VE GOT AN EVEN BETTER POSITION FOR YOU. (WHITE MEN HAVE IT SO GOOD BECAUSE OF WHITE PRIVILEGE)

Black Man, Father of Four, Murdered in Private Prison By Guards Who Refused Him Medical Help!

Michael Sabbie, Father of Four, was having trouble breathing. He had to stop to catch his breath. He told the guard he could not breath and the guards responded by slamming him to the ground and denying him medical care. They also tasered him. He died in Jail. This is the definition of torture and it is happening right here in the United States, a country that claims to be free. Politicians who claim America isn't great are right in a way but they don't have the right reasons in mind. This is is the REAL reason why America isn't great. A man who hasn't even been sentenced and is technically innocent is denied adequate medical care in a private jail. No prison or jail should be private anyways because privatization leads to abuse such as what you all see in this video.

Black Man Confronts His Thieving White Boss For Stealing His Wages

I have seen so many black people get their wages STOLEN by these so-called 'upstanding good productive white DEMONS'... OOPS.. I meant 'Citizens' that a video like this is refreshing. This happens a lot. Especially to those at the bottom. Black, Marginalized and Poor. White people steal the wages of blacks (Hispanics too) left and right and feel they are safe because they are white and have the power to terminate. But every now and then a black man decides to take back his DIGNITY and approach these devils and demand to be PAID IN FULL. JOB BE DAMNED.

The Black One Percent Explains The White/Black Wealth Gap

THE BLACK ONE PERCENT EXPLAINS WHITE PRIVILEGE. "White People often say 'pick yourselves up by your bootstraps'. But what they fail to grasp is that some people don't have any boots. When people talk about success they fail to understand that no matter how talented they are someone helped them along the way. No one did it all on their own. For every one dollar a white person has in wealth, blacks have $.06 cents in comparable wealth. A lot of that comes from the fact that throughout so much of America's history blacks could not build wealth. Whites were paid and allowed to build wealth to leave down to their children who built on the wealth. Blacks had no wealth to build upon." ------------------------------

The IMF, WTO DESTROYS Economies of Black Countries, For The Financial Gain of WHITE COUNTRIES

This is an incredible documentary detailing 'economic racism' perpetrated by white nations on black nations. (Please read below for details).This documentary due to the overwhelming response has now been monetized. It was on youtube at first free of charge with millions of views but now it can be purchased off the website http://www.lifeanddebt.org/ It's a compelling and moving portrayal of how power operates and how power corrupts. TO PURCHASE AND WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE: http://www.lifeanddebt.org/ This documentary was created by a black woman named Stephanie Black who is from Jamaica.

It details how the I.M.F (The International Monetary Fund), and the W.T.O (the World Trade Organization) continue to enslave through poverty and perpetual indebtedness.

How do they do this?

They loan poor nations which are struggling money at incredible interest rates which they know they can never pay back. Just like Loan Sharks. As part of the lending deal, they 'mandate' these nations open up their markets to other countries with no trade restrictions. When this happens all of the local industry that has supported the people in these countries begins to dry up and die, as the country is then flooded with cheap produce and meats from industrial countries at such low prices the country's own produce, meat and production markets are destroyed forever.

Impoverishing the Country. Forever.

When this is done wealthier nations move in with the IMF's permission and began to PLUNDER whatever resources they desire.

They Operate On An Entirely Other Stratosphere. Outside the Established "Norms" Set For Minorities.

Most people don't understand until they have worked in an institution that practices white supremacy how vastly different the experiences are for white males as compared to black employees. The established norms of write ups, warnings, and all that procedural bullshit were not written for "Them". Those rules were written for "US". White Males are taken by the hand and "Groomed". Every door of upward mobility is "Accessible" to them. There is no Glass Ceiling. The sky is literally the limit for them. They can rest assured that their output, however minor, will be rewarded to the 10th degree. Whereas Black Employees are told to be happy to "have" a job, white males are being rewarded with promotions. There is a double standard. America's economic system which is infused throughout with "White Privilege" cannot continue without the fear of civil unrest. AmeriKa, if you Claim to be Fair. BE FAIR.

Wingspan Has Resorted to Using "US" Against "US"..

New Allegations have arisen that Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, in an attempt to avoid discrimination lawsuits from discriminatory and racist employment practices, has resorted to using black tokens against fellow black employees to perform questionable terminations and evaluations and writeups. To give them COVER. This won't work. The EEOC is too smart for that. It's unfortunate that these black employees are not willing to buck the trend to stop being used for unscrupulous reasons against their brethren. These people have put their jobs and their paychecks FIRST over their morality and integrity. I can't believe that black folks would be willing to sell themselves out for a job making peanuts. If you are all so willing to sell yourselves out for that paltry ass paycheck you are getting.. so willing to whore yourselves to the LOWEST BIDDER. That shows me that you didn't have any morals or CHARACTER to begin with. I've always heard that for $20 dollars one can get a Black Man to March with the Klan. You are too stupid to know that you will be thrown away too once their use for you has ended. I guess blacks are so quick and so easy to be used as "Stooges" by white folks because for centuries we have dealt from positions of poverty and desperation. This is sad. It needs to stop. This is often the case in Corporate America which makes it difficult to bring discrimination lawsuits.. It's difficult when YOUR OWN is the one STABBING YOU while the white man sits back with his hands hidden from view. Shame. But their deeds will be brought to the light.

Why Do You Think That Whites In The SOUTH Have Historically Done The Dirtiest Damn Shit?

***Unidentified Man and Two Women Lynched. *** BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE NEGROS, THE BLACK PEOPLE, Have been dumbed down and made FULLY SUBSERVIENT through WILLIE LYNCH and JIM CROW and that they can GET AWAY WITH IT. I'm saying this because Texas leads the country for discriminatory acts and the SOUTH leads the country for discrimination cases being fought. The fact is that if you are black and very articulate these white folks will have NOTHING to do with you. They will FEAR YOU. They FEAR intelligent blacks because intelligent blacks QUESTION and don't believe every word they say. This is why ignorant, low educated white people still have control over the major industries in the South. This is why they are so ENTITLED down here. This is why you can have white guys with no education and no experience wake up suddenly and be Vice Presidents when they are surrounded by higher qualified blacks who are paper shufflers. WAKE UP PEOPLE! We need to pool our resources and take back our neighborhoods. Stop buying all that name brand shit from white folks who really don't want blacks to be buying their products anyway. Remember Tommy Hilfiger? Saying he didn't want blacks to wear his clothes? We will CONTINUE to be UNDERPAID and MISTREATED and DEVALUED by these guys because they WILL NEVER CONSIDER OUR WORTH. These are some nasty, nasty characters. They pit blacks against one another and are as tricky as all get out. You can't trust them. They have NO CHARACTER, NO MORALITY, NO ETHICS, NO INTEGRITY and they could care LESS about black people. This is why they pay us NOTHING. These white guys in the south wouldn't DARE do the shit they do to blacks in the South UP NORTH or where black people have a higher level of social awareness. WAKE UP!

They Want Us "LeaderLESS". Every Black That Shows Organizational Skill, They Quickly DISCREDIT.

They want us Leaderless. Study History.The REAL history. Not the White Washed HIStory. Every African American, Every Black Person regardless of where they are from.. That has shown the ability to ORGANIZE, whether it was Malcolm X. Martin Luther King, Jr.,Nelson Mandela during Apartheid, Fannie Lou Hamer, Harriet Tubman, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Benjamin Jealous, etc. They have DEMONIZED and DISCREDITED and SOUGHT TO DESTROY. Why is it that they can have their motivational leaders, yet we can't have ours? Why is it that they want us LeaderLESS? Why is it that they NEVER want to see us "UNITED"? What is it that they FEAR? About Black People UNITING? Divided we remain WEAK. Our voices, in singularity, drowned out. Each of us DISCREDITED. One day a Leader will rise amongst us.. Just as Jesus arose amongst the Jews and Muhammed arose amongst the Muslims..Is THIS what they fear the most. Someone strong, capable, energetic, ambitious, intelligent, articulate, A MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD, Touched and FEARLESS, with perception and depth, and the ability to INSPIRE and CHANGE the world around us.

Blacks Lagging All Other Races in Business Ownership

Racial Breakdown of Per-Capita Business Ownership. Asian 1 in 10 in Business. White 1 in 34 in Business. Hispanic 1 in 54 in Business. Black 1 in 104 in Business.No Wonder These White Guys are so arrogant and cocky and treat black employees like we are not worthy firing us FIRST and hiring us LAST. We don't own anything. Thus we don't control anything. So we are, in fact, seen by white people as being far more desperate when it comes to employment and far more willing to do the work of three people for very low wages. So they feel they can offer us crumbs and sneer and tell us to "Be Thankful" while they promote themselves, pass titles to themselves and laugh about how they have manhandled the blacks who work for them.

Slave Labor and the Founding of America

Slave Labor Built this country, from the White House to the Railroads. Even after slavery was abolished, clever politicians and businessmen found a way to keep the system of Slavery alive through the leasing of convicts who were, as they are now, disproportionately black. This labor, as it is now, was leased for close to nothing and was essentially "FREE LABOR". So the next time an angry white person says "Go Back to Africa" tell them not until they compensate you, as they have compensated the Native Americans, for the hundreds of years of FREE LABOR, and THEFT OF LANDS and RESOURCES and systemic disenfranchisement of jobs (especially those that pay well) in this country WITH INTEREST. The Millions of dollars that would add up to should be more than enough to set you up comfortably in Ghana, Senegal, South Africa or any other African Country of your choice in prime realestate bordering the ocean, where you will (For the First Time in your life no doubt) have access to Pesticide-FREE foods and you will be FAR HEALTHIER and no doubt HAPPIER. I'll take that trip anyday, once I am compensated.

Stay Aware. Know Your History. Don't Let Them Determine Your Present OR Your Future. They LIE. They are VERY untrustworthy. They look out for their own in Hiring, Promotions and Pay. You were meant to SERVE THEM. They Don't Care About You. If they make a misstep, hold them ACCOUNTABLE. If you work hard, DEMAND the wages they are paying Themselves. Demand the promotions they are giving Themselves. This isn't Elizabethan England and They Aren't Feudal Lords. No matter how much they Like To Pretend. You have a RIGHT to work and a RIGHT to FAIR TREATMENT while you work. Discrimination is ILLEGAL. Keep Notes on EVERYTHING; And NEVER BE AFRAID OF THOSE DIRTY BASTARDS at Wingspan Portfolio Advisors or ANYWHERE. God is with those who HELP THEMSELVES. God is a WARRIOR GOD. The LORD OF HOSTS. He is ALL POWERFUL. Don't Be Afraid. Be Encouraged.

They Haven't Changed. We Are Not Yet Free. They Control The Purse Strings. Making sure the vast number of "Us" Stay in Poverty. They Want Us to Forever SERVE. And Will make sure the only interests we work for are theirs. Song of Solomon, Chapter 1, vs 6 states "Because I am black, my brethren have made me the keepers of their vineyards, and mine own vineyard have I not kept". Black people have worked for everyone's interests BUT OUR OWN. And that is by design. Until we demand full economic equality in jobs and pay, thus being able to create our businesses, we will forever be enslaved to the white man and we will forever be disenfranchised economically in the U.S.

Obama Advocates $9-An-Hour Minimum Wage and The Republicans and Their BILLIONAIRE BACKERS Cry Foul

"Something is terribly wrong with any system where one can amass a fortune of $20, $30, $40, $50+ BILLION dollars in PERSONAL WEALTH while claiming they can't afford to provide insurance for their employees or pay more than the absolute minimum. This shows the extent of their G-R-E-E-D. I've witnessed many tricks of Corporations in my time working such as giving a fancy title to a low paying job to get 5 times the work out of a person for BOTTOM BASEMENT PAY as well as LYING like they can't find Americans to do the Damn Job so they have to send their jobs to places like SWEATSHOPS IN CHINA where they can get away with working CHILDREN who are chained in hot ass factories for $.05 cents a day. Capitalism has become a PERVERSE system of Exploitation and Run Away, Unchecked Greed. Republicans now even claim that $7.25 an hour is TOO MUCH?!?! And that Businesses whose only interest is their bottom line should set the workers pay, like we don't all know that if they are allowed to do that they will conspire to SET WAGES at $3.00 an hour or less. GREED IS IMMORAL. MAN CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MONEY. Republicans - Take Your Pick. Nevermind... You Already Have. $$$$"
