Sordid Sauder Saga

This is at least the third time I’ve rewritten this blog post. I always told everyone the truth at the Sauder School of Business. Some people including members of the administration insisted I must be lying and insisted on threatening and punishing me for “persistence in offering help finding an internship”, comparing myself to the Phantom of the Opera, and complaining about how I was being treated in emails. I’m not going to start lying now and I’m not going to engage in revisionist history for the likes of Peter Chow.

People still don’t believe me. They don’t care how much their words and actions hurt me or how hard they made my life. They don’t want things to be better and they definitely have not treated me like a friend.

After three years I still haven’t recovered, nor have I been able to secure full time employment following my MBA, despite supposedly being in the words of Anne DeWolfe “one of the top people in the program”. I’d also like to mention and thank Wendy Ma for getting involved and taking the time to answer all my questions and explain in detail the thoroughness of the investigation and the deductive reasoning which determined I must be lying instead of just threatening me then ignoring me as others had taken to doing, oh wait…

Why was all this necessary, let alone fair and equitable? How was I not negatively affected, by the words and actions of others? How many times did the BCC tell us our classmates were our strongest network? Why did I continue to go out of my way to help my Sauder MBA classmates, even after March 17th 2005, if my words and actions were indeed felonious? Why did my classmates continue to decieve me and take advantage of my genorosity and kindness if they thought I had ulterior motives and malicious intent? Why wouldn’t I help someone who repeatedly thanked me and insisted they were my friend? Who was actually threatened, ostracized, slandered, and maligned?

Why Mar?

Please believe me!

  • This stuff won't leave me alone, I'm reminded of it everytime I get an email from my classmates. It definitely ruined my MBA. I don't even consider going to MBA events anymore. I don't communicate with anyone from my time as a Sauder MBA student. I can't.

    And yet it won't let me be. I can't even look for work or go to Vancouver without worrying about all this crap. As a result I've been looking for work elsewhere. And I was born in Vancouver unlike everyone else in my MBA class.

    Not everyone thinks what happened was right, but no one seems to think things can be made better, so I must stay away.
  • I haven't forgotten the role Brian Bemmels played in all this. Nor have I forgotten that the shit went down on St. Patrick's Day or that Marlene Lau was sitting with Steve Keller and Gary Lau awaiting my arrival at the official Sauder MBA party.

    I think about this stuff every day, it still keeps me up nights.
