In 2012, a Porsche dealership owned by Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bernie Moreno recruited a general manager from Virginia with decades of experience selling the German sports cars.
“This was a disgruntled employee that filed the suit,” Moreno claimed, “and like all businesses, we eventually settle these things, because it’s cheaper than litigation.” A year and a half later they cut ties with the salesman, and pretty soon he was in court claiming Moreno hadn’t delivered on the pay package that lured him to Ohio.Before agreeing to take the job, Michael Falcone’s complaint states, he wanted assurance that the move to Ohio would make financial sense.
What’s more, Falcone contends that after he began asking about his compensation, his superiors retaliated against him and “embarked on a concerted campaign to force Mr. Falcone’s resignation.” “When HR e-mailed him a copy of the form, it was clear that the form had been altered after it had been signed and without Mr. Falcone’s knowledge or consent,” the complaint states. “Specifically, the line indicating that his termination was, in part, due to a permanent reduction in force had been whited out, leaving only the unsupported allegation of unsatisfactory performance as the sole reason for Mr. Falcone’s termination.
“Defendants admit that the termination form was altered,” Moreno’s attorneys wrote, “but this was done to correct an error on Defendants’ part and was not done to accomplish a fraudulent purpose.” Although Falcone complains the changes to the termination form jeopardized his unemployment claims, “glaringly absent,” Moreno argued, “is any factual allegation that he was denied unemployment compensation benefits as a proximate result of signing the Employee Termination Form.”Speaking to reporters at campaign event in Chillicothe, Moreno called Falcone “a good guy,” but added “in any business, somebody doesn’t perform, they typically don’t blame themselves, they blame others.
