For the most part, Sheffield Oil Company, Inc is Solely responsible for exercising its authority and flexing their power in determining whether I, the employee, Nathaniel Dexter Smoak, in this instance, is suitable to perform assignments as a Truck Driver hauling Gasoline, Diesel, and other lubricant products.Furthermore, after being employed at Sheffield Oil Company since January 1st, 2013; within less than 48 hours, on the day of April 16th, 2023, on a Sunday Morning, Sheffield Oil Company Fired me, the employee, Nathaniel Dexter Smoak {on my day off}, {Over the Phone}, Without Good Merit, Without Written Expression, Without suspension, without a Grace Period, Without Remorse After 10 years of Loyalty and Dedication to Sheffield Oil Company, Inc Organization. I did not receive any explanation nor reasoning on this sporadic decision by Mike Boyles.For the record, as of May 25, 2023, I have yet to hear from the Actual Owners, Marlon Sheffield, of Sheffield Oil Company on the nature of such discrepancy.

One voice being that of Mike Boyles, the Firing authority, where he stated, and I Quote, "That "Nigger" is Smarter than "WE" thought he was". As he refers to Nathaniel Smoak, the employee/ the help. Devastated, it was this derogatory statement that captivated my attention, so I then began to listen to the entire excruciating 15-minute-long conversation, that was involuntarily recorded by Mike Boyles's iPhone and accidentally sent to my Work Phone that was also an iPhone at the time of my employment at Sheffield Oil Company. Once hearing that statement, I instantly became inferior with anger. Most Importantly, it was in this Message where the words of others tarnished my perception of the company, I work for the past 10 years. I never knew that this type of hatred was brewing against me.
