PADOH ‘ claimed that it dismissed Wei because he failed to complete converting HIV/AIDS HARS data that it assigned him solely. Wei claimed that PADOH never assigned him the task, never gave him an opportunity to respond, and it terminated him for blocking his ; ongoing search for more data errors after the others ‘ converted HARS data. PADOH never gave Wei the opportunity to respond before termination, it refused — to provide and present the key documents.
