Ascendance International Consulting (A-I-C)
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how serious and professionally damaging this situation can be, particularly where security clearance delays may create negative perceptions in the workplace.
Based on your description, the repeated loss of your submitted documents and the prolonged delay in issuing your ID badge and clearance may raise concerns that warrant formal review. However, to pursue a workplace discrimination or administrative complaint effectively under Guam law, it will be important to establish clear evidence of improper treatment, procedural failure, or unequal application of policy.
Our team can assist you with the following:
1. Case Review & Documentation Analysis
We will examine your employment timeline, submission records, communications with the security office, and any written policies governing badge issuance and clearances.
2. Evidence Development
We help determine whether the facts support claims such as:
- Workplace discrimination
- Administrative negligence or bad faith
- Failure to follow internal procedures
- Reputational or professional harm
3. Strategic Action Plan
Depending on the findings, we may recommend steps such as:
- Formal internal complaint or grievance
- Preservation letter to the employer
- Demand for corrective action
- Filing with the Guam Department of Labor or Guam EEOC counterpart (if applicable)
- Civil action, if supported by evidence
Important Note
Successfully pursuing a discrimination claim typically requires showing that the adverse treatment is connected to a protected characteristic (such as race, nationality, sex, religion, disability, etc.) or clear evidence of arbitrary or bad-faith conduct. Our initial review will clarify the strongest legal pathway.
Next Steps
Please provide:
- Your position and employer (if you are comfortable sharing)
- Timeline of document submissions and losses
- Copies of emails, messages, or written requests
- Any written badge/clearance policy
- Whether others in similar roles received badges on time
- Any indication of why you believe you were singled out
Once reviewed, we will advise you on the viability of claims and the most effective path forward.
We look forward to assisting you in protecting your professional standing and resolving this matter appropriately.
Sincerely,
Ascendance International Consulting
