“Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we gather more information regarding Ernie’s separation from Gulfstream.
After 20 years of dedicated service to this company, Ernie received no severance package or support. The only thing we received was a letter in the mail containing his separation paperwork. It is heartbreaking and difficult to understand how someone who devoted two decades of his life to this company could be let go, especially while facing serious health challenges.
Throughout the years, we have seen other employees receive accommodations and support while dealing with medical issues, which makes this situation even more confusing and painful for our family. Ernie is not only battling Stage 4 cancer, but he is also deaf. Given these circumstances, it is hard not to question whether he has been treated fairly.
This entire experience has been devastating for him emotionally. No one who has given so much of themselves to their employer should feel discarded during one of the most difficult times in their life.
I am committed to seeking answers and raising awareness about what has happened. If necessary, I will take this matter further because Ernie deserves someone willing to stand up for him after everything he has given to this company.
We believe Gulfstream should take a hard look at how this situation was handled. Ernie was a loyal, dependable, and hardworking employee for 20 years, and he deserved to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
If anyone has any opinions on this matter please share with me. Thank you!”
