LANAI, Hawaii (KITV4) -- A Hawaii chef who used to work for Billionaire technology executive Larry Ellison’s Four Seasons Resort on Lanai is suing the tech titan’s company for violating the Whistleblowers’ Protection Act and public policy.
Public documents filed by attorneys for chef Jason Ganzagan against defendant Lanai Resorts LLC say that Ganzagan, who was a chef in multiple five-star restaurant kitchens on the Las Vegas strip, began working for the Four Seasons Resort Lanai as a Jr. Sous Chef in November 2019.
Ganzagan says he noticed that there were no state Department of Health law postings or temperature logs for the walk-in freezers/refrigerators. When he asked his boss, the response he got was, “I no run kitchen that way.”
In March 2020, Ganzagan says he reported safety and health law violations, as well as discrimination concerns to the Four Season’s resort manager but got no response.
From the end of March 2020 to June 2020, the Four Seasons closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In October, he reported these same issues to Four Season’s human resources division.
The next month, Ganzagan says he was terminated, despite never being written up or provided an progressive discipline regarding any work issues during his entire employment.
A spokesperson for Pulama Lanai, a related company owned by Ellison, says since it is an ongoing case, the company is not able to share any information at this time.
The attorneys representing the plaintiff told KITV4 that they have no comment.
