In winter of 2009 while managing the relocation of the incoming President of NISSAN North America Carlos Tavares I had the opportunity to tell a NISSAN Motors board member of issues of discrimination, wasteful spending, corruption and lack of respect for women happening NISSAN in TN. The problems magnified after the company relocated from California - I told him that HR was dominated by a Good Ole Boy network. What motivated me was on the executive floor I was told "Skirts Don't Speak at NISSAN North America" and later internal stats showed women in management went from 20.9% in 2006 to 10% the year I whistle blew.
Mr. Tavares had people communicate to me the problems were greater than what we both thought & I agreed to become a "change agent" on June 4th 2009 I started a blog as an "out of the box" way to change the corporate culture at NISSAN North America. My websites were a tool to show problems.
Learning from employees NISSAN took American taxpayers (over 1 billion) for the EV & they knew when asking Congress it would FAIL-NISSAN executives told me that they took the money due to a "cash flow" problem. The tech for the Leaf was from the 90's CARB days & deemed a finanical failure. Because i blogged about the issue I was bullied and harassed - even jailed. I learned that the local politicians had made money from bond dealsl & NISSAN had taken & still owes over 6 Billion in IDB bonds backed by local counties in TN.
To retaliate NISSAN cyberly "outed" me as a former researcher for CIA operatives-they wanted to stop other execs from telling me the foreign company was taking new American engineered auto tech to Iran & Russia. Renault makes cars in Tehran & while I was bullied NISSAN was negotiating with Putin to take ownership of Autovaz.
A DOD scientist told me 2011 to blog that American taxpayer funded auto tech is used in drones & weapons will go to out enemy. I blogged to stop Congress from funding tech for our enemies - that's how I became a Change Agent for America.
