SECRET AUDIO 2 - THE FIRING - 12/03/15 - DSNY Department of Sanitation Ticket Quota
Channel: Marcus Conte
Date: 2017-03-02

12/03/15, Manhattan office, 130th & Park

In NYC, this is what happens to you if you speak truth to power. They put you in a room and try to make the room disappear. Not this time. As a Sanitation Enforcement Agent,  Lt. Ortega was my immediate supervisor for the final 3 months of my 1-year employment. I had an excellent work relationship with Ortega; yet on this recording Ortega clearly has no idea why he is firing me. He was just following an order, he says. According to court records, DSNY reported I received nothing but  ‘unsatisfactory’ performance evaluations for my work. Yet my immediate supervisor Ortega, the one who is suppose to issue those evaluations, someone I worked directly with on a daily basis for 3 months, has no idea what’s going on, and can’t give a single reason why he is firing me.

LIEUTENANT ORTEGA
Agent Conte, I was informed to let you know today is your last day of service…

AGENT CONTE
Really. Why?

LIEUTENANT ORTEGA
I do not know. They just told me today’s your last day. I need your ID and your shield. And your summonses, vest, everything they we gave you I need to get it back. 

AGENT CONTE
Alright. No pink slip? No document? 

LIEUTENANT ORTEGA
They can send it to your house. I have no idea. They just called me and told me.

AGENT CONTE
Who’s they?

LIEUTENANT ORTEGA
Inspector Kelly.

AGENT CONTE
Alright. I’ll get my stuff. 

LIEUTENANT ORTEGA
I don’t really know what’s going on, and I’m in the middle of it. I’m in the middle of something I don’t know nothing about.

AGENT CONTE
There’s nothing. That’s the point…
