CHAIRMAN RYAN COMMISSIONER WAYNE CHRISTIAN, COMMISSIONER RAILROAD COMMISSION OF TEXAS EXECUTIVE OFFICE TO: James Kingsley FROM: Wei Wang, Executive Director DATE: November 26, 2018 SUBJECT: Termination of Employment This letter is to inform you that as of today, November 26, 2018, your employment with the Railroad Commission of Texas is terminated for cause. Upon receiving a complaint from an employee in the Surface Mining and Reclamation Division (SMRD) on September 25, 2018, Human Resources (HR) and the Office of General Counsel (OGC) began a review of the work environment in SMRD. Three main themes emerged from interviews conducted with SMRD staff: (1) staff members fear retaliation or are concerned that the retaliatory or negative treatment has already occurred because they voiced professional opinions that appeared adverse to industry; (2) staff members otherwise do not feel comfortable expressing professional opinions and/or are anxious about or unsure how to perform their jobs; and (3) staff believes there is a lack of communication and lack of leadership from the Assistant Director and Director of SMRD. Human Resources and the Of?ce of General Counsel agree that James Kingsley, SMRD Director, attempted retaliatory action against the complainant by threatening to demote the employee and by approaching Human Resources to inquire about demoting the employee after another employee refused to sign their name to a technical review. The Railroad Commission Employee Handbook, Chapter 10 states the following regarding retaliation: In compliance with federal and state laws, the Commission prohibits adverse personnel actions such as demotion, denial of promotion, or unjusti?ed negative evaluation against an employee as punishment for ?ling a discrimination or harassment complaint in good faith, being involved in a workplace investigation, whistleblowing, or participating in any legally protected activity. If the Commission receives an allegation or otherwise learns of an inappropriate situation is occurring, it will take the necessary steps to ensure the matter is investigated and addressed. You will be compensated for your Annual Leave balance with a lump sum payment, after you have been off the payroll for 30 calendar days. Unused Sick Leave will be lost and may be reinstated if you begin another state job within 12 months. If you have questions regarding your benefits, you may contact ERS at (877) 275?4377. 1701 NORTH CONGRESS AVENUE POST OFFICE BOX 12967 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711-2967 PHONE: 512/463-7158 FAX: 512/463-7000 TDD 800/735-2989 OR TDY 512/463-7284 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ALEXANDER C.
