I was jointly employed by Freddie Mac in a limited access controlled room from July 2019 to Sept 11, 2020 on their Win 10 project taking all orders from JonMichael Monheim and Sasha Rajic. I wrote to Elise Cocks, about just part…….. of the hostile workplace problems encouraged by JonMichael Monheim from the start, and intervening on behalf of the new women working in the Asset Control Room of the EUS/IT section of Freddie Mac for their protection from abuse. Over the 14 months of employment, more than once the proper authorities were used to raise concerns but Freddie Mac has a pattern of thumbing its nose at lawful complaints and punishing those who raise the issues. Freddie Mac violated my right to protected opposition to the abuse and retaliated by firing me even after deputy General Counsel and the VP of HR had been engaged nearly 2 months before, refusing to provide whistleblower protections upon multiple written requests. Fundamentally there are 2 parts to this complaint. These two parts are both independent of each other but they also interact with each other. The first part is directed to the Treasury/FHFA
