In my opinion, do not recommend Astreya Partners. Review on Astreya Partners

Filed small claims court case on the basis of breach of written contract -non payment of Severance payment from former employer, Astreya Partners, LLC, CA based company at this Court in Hayward, CA.

In my opinion, with my respect to the Court the newly appointed Judge DORIS NG was biased towards me, possibly because of my last Russian last name. In my opinion this Judge did not allow me to ask the remaining relevant questions the Defendant, Joanne Lewis, Head of HR of Astreya Partners, LLC, during the trial, and this Judge supported Defendant, employer, corporation, not me, Alameda County resident this time. I filed "SC-108 Form" SC-108 form Request to Correct or Cancel Judgment and Answer" to reevaluate the case, and my request was denied. Interesting, that I expected my request for "SC-108" was assigned again to the same Judge, Doris Ng, and she denied it. Should write request to the Judicial Council whether the one and same Judge could reevaluate case, weird.

In my opinion, I dot not recommend Astreya Partners, LLC to anybody in CA as an employer, taking into account that Astreya Partners, LLC offered me ongoing contract(and Astreya offers ongoing contracts, not term-fixed contracts, as other staffing agencies not to pay additional payments in case of termination to ex employees) and laid me off in three weeks since the date of employment, having offered me Severance Payment under Severance Agreement and giving me just 10 days to sign it during covid and having voided it on the 9th day having refused to pay me Severance payment, as well as, in my opinion, Astreya's Head of HR Joanne Lewis was trying to threaten me with legal actions when I was trying to contact their client, asking to resend me new Severance Agreement and discuss Severance Payment issue, as well as, in my opinion, Astreya Partner LLC were trying to silence me from publishing online review with my personal experience about my employment and court case which is public and should be protected by the First Amendment, as well as voided "Non-Disparagement Clause" of Severance Agreement Astreya voided not to pay me which it initially intended to pay, in my opinion.

Also, in my opinion, do not recommend to work with specific managers(Kim Ngo and Omer Hassan) being Program Managers, Product Area Capacity Planning, Global Capacity Delivery at one IT Company in Sunnyvale, CA as Astreya's client who did not give me any practical assignment during three weeks work at the project, access to the company's programs and did not allow me to attend the company's meetings as a contractor, in my opinion.
