Las Vegas Raiders riddled with disfunction

Las Vegas Raiders riddled with disfunction

The Las Vegas Riders recently ousted their interim team president Dan Ventrelle. The executive then decided to use their newfound liberation by speaking out against the owner Mark Davis whose family has been owning the Raiders for the past 50 years. The accusations include creating a hostile work environment among others. 

This is just the latest upheaval surrounding the franchise, over the past few years the Las Vegas Raiders have been rocked by a mass exodus of front office leaders amid financial irregularities and management blunders like overpaying taxes and underpaying employees for years. Years of dysfunction in the team's inner workings have been piling up and it is on the verge of collapse. Since the Raiders moved to Las Vegas from California, around 8 executives have been removed without little or no explanation. When questioned, about a dozen former employees had a lot to say about their employment. The employees signed a contract that prohibited them from discussing their employment, they said that the team had lax control over how money was spent, how much was spent, and how people were paid, and even the mishap regarding the payment of taxes for many years. The team once missed the payment of the electricity bill in their new office causing the light to shut off. 

Employees who raised concerns over the team's management were either ignored or pushed out and given nondisclosure agreements and settlements. Nicole Adams who worked in the HR department said that "if anyone complained, they were let go." She was pushed out when she declined to sign a severance agreement that would have prohibited her from speaking about her tenure on the team.
