Question Presented (from Petition)

The upfront access to order tools and materials for the jobs
Why did Mr. Fulton and Puckett tried to block the upfront access to order tools and supplies for
the jobs for a full 03 months 12/16/16 - 03/16/17 instead of 24 to 72 hours. I had to purchase the
tools from the local stores and paid by myself. (I had the attached the detailed statements)
I was met and spoke with Fulton and Puckett in person regarding the upfront access for a
several times. But they were still blocked it. On 03/16/17. 1 had to send an email to the third line
manager (Mrs. Lindgren) for help
After, my email had reached to Mrs. Lindgren. Then, Fulton sent an email to Puckett and stated
that "Andrew should not have access to order tools, only minor materials " while other (Non-
Asian) employees ordered tools and the materials without restrictions
Fulton had told me that I did not follow the command chains. It's violated the Code of Business.
Fulton knew that the employees have the right to skip level management. If I didn 't contact Mrs.
Lindgren. I didn 't know when I could be accessed the upfront
The Non-Asian employees (my co-workers) were allowed to order the high cost of the fiber
splicing machine with the advanced features and with a multiple fiber connections
The Asian employee (Andrew Nguyen) had to wait 18 months (04/2017 -10/01/18) and Fulton
was asked Puckett to order for a cheap model with a single fiber connection
Why did Puckett had taken Andrew 's ordered packages into Puckett 's office and short the items
on the orders and left other employees ' ordered packages in the stock room
On the testing equipment (called as a sidekick)
The most employees (Non-Asian) had received the sidekick with the newer version (blue color)
and Puckett assigned the older version (grey color) for 06 times with the malfunctional issues
and the tester was out of date for re-calibrate
I got the problems to order tools such as: The drill driver, materials, the probe to check the dial
tone and other employees had no problems with Puckett
Would you please refer to the Motion for Submitting the Statements to support for the Petitioner
for a Writ of Certiorari for the detailed statements regarding the 06 sidekick that assigned to me. I
had my coworkers stopped by and verified that my sidekicks did not working right
