My name is Jason Voit.

This website exists because I refuse to stay silent about what I believe happened to me.

For years, I dedicated my life to the hospitality industry. I started as a bartender. I worked my way into management. I led successful teams. I improved operations. I increased member satisfaction. I improved financial performance. I was selected for reinvention projects, turnaround assignments, leadership development programs, and increasingly complex responsibilities.

I loved what I did.

I loved building teams.

I loved serving members.

I loved developing people.

And by every measurable metric, I was successful.

That is not my opinion.

The records, performance results, member satisfaction scores, promotions, assignments, and testimony speak for themselves.

Yet despite that success, I ultimately walked away from a career I spent years building.

Why?

Because I believe I was targeted by a leader who should have been supporting successful operators rather than attacking them.

That leader was Mamee Groves.

Everything on this website begins there.

After years of reflection, thousands of pages of documents, court proceedings, witness statements, employment records, and personal experience, I have reached conclusions that many people will find uncomfortable.

They are my conclusions.

They are based upon my experiences.

And I am no longer willing to pretend otherwise.

I believe Mamee Groves treated me differently because I am white.

I believe race played a significant role in how I was treated throughout my career under her leadership.

I believe she repeatedly targeted, criticized, disciplined, undermined, and attacked me despite a documented record of operational success, financial success, team development, and member satisfaction.

I believe many of the conflicts discussed throughout this website were not caused by poor performance, misconduct, or operational failures.

I believe they were personal.

And I believe they were fueled, at least in part, by race-based bias.

Some readers will disagree.

That is their right.

This website exists so they can review the evidence and decide for themselves.

One of the central themes of this website is simple:

I do not believe I was the aggressor.

Every significant conflict I describe originated from actions taken against me, not actions taken by me.

I did not accuse Mamee Groves of theft.

She accused me.

I did not attempt to discipline her.

She attempted to discipline me.

I did not remove her compensation.

She removed mine.

I did not spend years criticizing her performance.

She spent years criticizing mine.

Most importantly, when the relationship deteriorated, I attempted to fix it.

I extended the olive branch.

I attempted to clear the air.

I attempted to move forward professionally.

That effort ended with an angry rejection and a slammed-down phone.

There was a witness present.

The relationship never recovered.

Eventually, I submitted my resignation.

When I did, I told my supervisor exactly why:

"I can't be attacked by her anymore."

That was not a statement created years later.

That was my explanation at the time.

This website is also about Invited Clubs.

Because I warned them.

Repeatedly.

I raised concerns.

I reported issues.

I explained what I believed was happening.

I told leadership there was a problem.

I told them I felt targeted.

I told them the situation was damaging.

I told them I could not continue under those circumstances.

And then I resigned.

In my opinion, Invited Clubs failed to address the conduct I was reporting.

I believe the company empowered Mamee Groves.

I believe the company protected her.

I believe the company ignored warning signs.

I believe the company ignored the damage being done.

And I believe the company failed employees who depended on leadership to act when concerns were raised.

One of the reasons I hold Invited Clubs accountable is because I believe the company had opportunities to address these issues and chose not to.

At one point, I provided the company with evidence that I believed conclusively demonstrated that Mamee Groves had targeted me using false and misleading information intended to damage my reputation and standing within the company.

To me, the evidence was undeniable.

I believed it proved exactly what I had been warning the company about for years.

Shortly thereafter, Mamee Groves resigned from Invited Clubs.

Readers can draw their own conclusions regarding the timing.

What matters to me is what did not happen.

There was no meaningful accountability.

There was no acknowledgment of the damage that had been done.

There was no effort to make things right.

There was no effort to address the concerns I had repeatedly raised.

In my view, the company effectively closed the chapter and moved on.

I did not.

Because the underlying problem was never addressed.

Even after what I believed was proof positive that I had been targeted, the company failed to take meaningful action.

That failure is one of the primary reasons this website exists.

Because I believe accountability does not end simply because the person responsible leaves the company.

And I believe organizations should be judged not only by how they reward success, but by how they respond when credible evidence of misconduct is placed directly in front of them.

Most importantly, I believe the consequences were entirely foreseeable.

The easiest thing for me to do would have been to move on.

Most people do.

Most people cannot afford years of legal battles.

Most people cannot afford to challenge large corporations.

Most people cannot afford to publicly tell their story.

Most people simply walk away.

Their experiences disappear.

Their voices are lost.

I chose a different path.

Not because I enjoy conflict.

Not because I enjoy reliving these events.

But because I believe what happened to me is bigger than me.

I believe my experience represents a broader problem that exists throughout parts of corporate America.

I believe it is an example of what happens when identity becomes more important than performance, results, fairness, and accountability.

In plain English:

I believe this is DEI gone wrong.

That is my opinion.

Others may disagree.

But after everything I experienced, everything I witnessed, and everything I have reviewed since leaving the company, that is the conclusion I reached.

I also believe I was not the only person affected.

Over the years, I heard stories from others.

I received complaints from others.

I witnessed departures that raised questions.

In at least one instance, I possess testimony from an individual who specifically identified Mamee Groves as a factor in their decision to leave.

Readers can evaluate that evidence for themselves when it is published.

I am not claiming that every person shares my conclusions.

I am saying that I am not alone.

The difference is that most people never get the opportunity to tell their story.

Most people cannot afford years of litigation.

Most people cannot afford to fight large corporations.

Most people cannot afford to risk their careers by speaking publicly.

Most people simply move on.

Their stories disappear.

Their experiences are forgotten.

Their voices are lost.

Mine won't be.

I have the ability to tell my story.

I have the documentation.

I have the evidence.

I have the time.

And I have the determination.

I am not trying to be a martyr.

I am not trying to be a hero.

I am simply unwilling to stay silent.

If carrying this torch helps expose a truth that others were unable or unwilling to expose themselves, then the effort will have been worth it.

What makes this story particularly difficult for me is that I was not failing.

I was succeeding.

The evidence will show:

• Improved financial performance.
• Improved member satisfaction.
• Stronger teams.
• Successful reinventions and turnarounds.
• Promotions and leadership opportunities.
• Recognition for operational success.

A leader producing those results should have been celebrated.

Instead, I believe I was targeted.

Eventually, the career I loved was destroyed.

My reputation suffered.

My mental health suffered.

Relationships suffered.

My life changed permanently.

I do not believe those outcomes were accidental.

I believe they were the foreseeable result of decisions made by people who either knew what was happening or chose not to know.

White Flag Warrior is not a revenge project.

It is not a harassment campaign.

It is not an attempt to intimidate anyone.

It is a public record.

It is a repository of documents, testimony, transcripts, court records, employment records, witness statements, and personal experiences.

It is my opportunity to tell my story in my own words after years of watching others tell it for me.

Throughout this website, I will publish evidence that led me to the conclusions described above.

You do not have to agree with me.

You do not have to like me.

You do not even have to believe me.

But I believe the evidence deserves to be seen.

I believe the questions deserve to be asked.

And I believe the truth deserves to be examined openly rather than hidden behind corporate talking points, legal maneuvering, and carefully managed narratives.

That is why this website exists.

I invite you to review the evidence, read the documents, watch the videos, examine the testimony, and decide for yourself.

There is one final reason this website exists.

This was not the first time.

In 2018, when I reached my breaking point, I resigned.

I walked away.

I chose peace.

I chose distance.

I chose to move on with my life.

I did not create a website.

I did not launch a public campaign.

I did not spend years talking about what happened.

I simply left.

Like countless other people before me, I absorbed the loss, accepted the consequences, and tried to move forward.

In many ways, I did exactly what people are often expected to do.

I bowed out.

But then it happened again.

Years later, after returning to the company, I found myself dealing with many of the same people, many of the same issues, many of the same concerns, and many of the same outcomes.

This time was different.

This time I had already lived through it once.

This time I had already warned people.

This time I had already raised concerns.

This time I had already paid the price for staying quiet.

And this time I decided I was not going to simply walk away and pretend none of it happened.

Over the last several years, I have told this story to hundreds of people.

Friends.

Business owners.

Executives.

Employees.

Lawyers.

People from inside and outside the hospitality industry.

What surprised me was not how many disagreed with me.

What surprised me was how many immediately had a story of their own.

Almost every conversation seemed to end the same way.

Someone would tell me about a manager.

A company.

An executive.

A situation they believed was unfair.

A situation where they felt targeted.

A situation where they felt powerless.

Or they would tell me about someone they knew who had experienced the same thing.

Eventually, I started asking a simple question:

"What did they do about it?"

The answer was almost always the same.

Nothing.

Or very little.

Not because they were wrong.

Not because they lacked character.

Not because they lacked courage.

But because they believed they had no choice.

They had families.

They had children.

They had careers.

They had mortgages.

They had reputations.

They had too much to lose.

Standing up to a corporation, a superior, or an institution comes with a cost.

A very real cost.

For many people, that cost is simply too high.

So they stay quiet.

They leave.

They start over somewhere else.

And eventually their story disappears.

I understand that.

In fact, I lived it.

The first time.

The first time, I walked away.

The second time, I didn't.

This time I chose a different path.

I chose to fight.

I chose to document.

I chose to preserve the record.

I chose to ask the questions that I believe should have been asked years ago.

And I chose to tell my story publicly.

I also believe I am not the only person who experienced what I experienced.

Over the years, I have heard stories from others.

I have received complaints from others.

I have witnessed departures that raised serious questions.

In at least one instance, I possess testimony from an individual who specifically identified Mamee Groves as a factor in their decision to leave.

Others may never speak publicly.

Others may never tell their story.

Others may never want their names attached to these issues.

I respect that.

But I also believe their experiences matter.

This website is not only about me.

It is about accountability.

It is about documenting experiences that otherwise would have been forgotten.

It is about preserving a record that otherwise might never exist.

And it is about standing up to conduct that I believe far too many people simply accepted because they felt they had no choice.

When I ask people what happened to the person in their story, the answer is almost always the same:

"What could they do?"

My answer is simple.

They could do exactly what I am doing.

Tell the truth as they experienced it.

Preserve the evidence.

Ask the hard questions.

And refuse to be intimidated into silence.

I am not claiming to represent everyone.

I am not claiming every story is the same as mine.

But I am willing to carry this fight when many others could not.

Not because I am better than them.

Not because I am braver than them.

But because I am in a position to do it.

Whether I am ultimately proven right or wrong, I would rather have my story examined than buried.

Because if the people who can speak refuse to speak, then the people who cannot speak never have a voice at all.

That is one of the most important reasons White Flag Warrior exists.
