Hi,
thank you very much for you message!
I have a policy, that I just publish everything I get on my blog.
(Kind of like Wikileaks, even if they haven't published my employment-case, against Bertelsmann Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation, even if I sent them the case, more than two years I go, I think it must be now).
It's right that I'm an ex-employee, at Arvato.
I didn't work in management, (even if I have 10 years of management-experience, from Norway, they didn't want to make me Team-Leader for some reason, unknown to me).
I worked as a CCR, on behalf of Arvato, for an agency, (Ranstad), from August 2005 to June 2006.
Then I was made Arvato-staff, and worked for Arvato, in the same role, untill December 2006.
After I started my employment-case, they didn't renew my concract.
(The details are explained in the link I sent, where my employment-case is, on Scribd).
Then I started working as self-employed, in the packaging-industry, from home, on behalf of Packaging Europe, in Norwich, UK, in march 2007.
I suspect that the law-firms here in the UK, are a bit afraid, of the big American company, (Microsoft), and the big German company, (Bertelsmann Arvato), so I haven't actually got anyone to take on my case.
It's now with the University of Sunderland Alumni Association, (I studied there in 2004/05), and I've asked them if they can get the university's law-faculty, to take on the case, as a pro-bono-case.
But I don't think they'd take on a US case.
(Since I guess this is Valencia in Los Angeles and not the Valencia in Spain :).
What I could do, is that I could publish your employment-case, on my blog.
My blog has around 1.000 readers each day, and is on Blogger, so I don't think it's going to be deleted.
I also take back-ups of my blog, and put them on a web-site, in case the blog gets deleted.
That's what I could do, if you want.
If you want, you can contact me on my e-mail: eribsskog@gmail.com, and then I can publish documents to do with your employment-case, on my blog, if you want that.
I've tried to call to the USA earlier, but I have to call very late, because of the time-difference, so I don't want to call to Arvato in California.
But I found you LinkedIN-profile, with Google, (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kathy-graboyes/9/14b/b62), so I think you are who you're saying you are, so to speak.
I think it would be interesting to see, how Arvato operates in the USA, so I would have thought it was fine, if you could send the documents.
Someone in Mexico, contacted me once, and complained about Arvato, as well, so seems like they aren't fine, in any countries/nations.
I'll see if I can find that comment again, on my blog.
Again thank you very much for your e-mail!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Yes,
that's right.
Arvato are using illigal management-methods here in the UK, and there has also been problems with a lot of other bullying etc., from managers.
I've started a case against Bertelsmann Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation:
http://www.scribd.com/groups/view/14830-arvato-services-ltd-s-microsoft-scandinavian-product-activation
And I've also started making a video about the problems at Arvato:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H6nIFBWJPPc
I've contacted a lot of British law-firms, to try to get this case to court.
(Under the legal-aid programme, which exists in the UK).
But none of the law-firms, have wanted to give help.
I'm wondering if the law-firms are afraid, of eighter Bertelsmann Arvato or Microsoft.
Or both.
Or if it is the British Government or some freemasons etc, who are pulling the strings, to try to prevent justice.
Like I think one have to describe what they are doing as.
The only thing I've got to work, as of yet, is to publish about the problems, on the internet, and also on Facebook, witch I've done.
So maybe this will help.
But I'll continue to contact the law-firms as well, at least to keep the case alive.
I made sure to keep all the files, from work, when I worked, there, since I suspected a bit that there was something going on etc.
And I tried to make a note, each time, the managers were bullying etc., at work.
(Because I've learned, when I worked as a shop manager in a big Norwegian food-chain, that notes like this, (with date and time and description), will count as evidence, in court).
But I'll continue to try to whistleblow about these problems, untill they can hopefully be brought up in the right courts etc.
But if you have something that you want me to publish, about the problems with Arvato in Mexico, then I think it's ok for me to publish it, even if there isn't that many people that are reading on my blog yet, but maybe they will be more people reading in the future, if I write more in English etc.
We'll see.
Thanks for the comment by the way, it's interesting to get updates about how Arvato operates in other countries etc!
Sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
