Sasha- I cannot allow you back in the office, given your failure to follow office policies. Cody will be in touch about having your personal effects shipped or delivered to your home, and will lay out your remote work schedule and responsibilities for your last few weeks.I understand. Thank you for the last two years and all that I have learned.
“This former employee was not fired. She was a fellow in our office, and weeks before she breached COVID protocol in July, we had already mutually agreed on an end date in August 2022,” Porter spokesman Jordan Wong“Congresswoman Porter was informing her that she would work from home for the remaining three weeks of her fellowship,” Wong added. “Following knowledge of COVID exposure, Congresswoman Porter tested twice daily and only attended in-person gatherings after negative results.
Georgiades believes she “was not fired because” Porter could not fire her due to her status as a Wounded Warrior Fellow.Fox News. “Essentially I was demoted to remote and banned from the office.” “I do believe if there hadn’t been that protection of the wounded warrior program she would have,” Georgiades added.
