"Mendez boasted of his criminal connections"
And he's still working there ?
This whole thing sounds like a personal issue between Mendez and Broome. Mendez obviously had it out for Broome and wanted to take him down.
As a manager, Mendez is not fit for purpose and should be fired. Either an employee is performant or he is to be trained, humiliation is not part of managerial functions.
