Dr Jessica Taylor #6 A personality rarer than her pearl

[empowered1]

It’s funny because this is exactly how she sees herself

This is the wording under it…..she sounds desperate for business and who the duck wants to pay £699 to listen to her shite?!! If my employer said there’s a training event with JT on I’d ring in sick

Tell us you’re a grandiose narcissist through the medium of art.

Seriously, looks like someone entered ‘attention desperate, thrives on being in the spotlight, sees themselves as better than everyone else, thinks they are stunning according to patriarchal beauty standards’ into the AI art generator.

- cut price training, events and resources for months now - huge discounts
- no vague announcements about big pieces of work / projects upcoming
- makes several staff redundant right before Christmas
- staff team likely a quarter of the size it was at peak, due to the 2022 exodus, prompted by her treatment of vulnerable women online and her lack of ethics in the workplace
- 2022 conference cancelled and no mention of plans for a 2023 event
- screenshots evidencing her hypocrisy, anti feminist actions, shocking treatment of staff, manipulative behaviour etc being widely shared, with several made public
- tv show cancelled last minute likely as result of above
- only tv slots being offered are tabloid style channels and gb news
- publisher being shy about promoting new paperback
- fails to get the police to take action on people sharing their critical opinions of her online
- continues to tweet like she’s a rising star

From what I can see, it’s all going to tit.

Pretty sure VF is having financial issues too.

And I would suspect they'll have more, seeing as they have no finance people in VF any more, not since the autumn, and Jess knows duck all about financial planning or running a business.

When Jess did the VF finances, before she hired a finance team it was a tit show.

I can't imagine the desperately underqualified HR, or whoever she has doing it now, will do a better job.

Excluding Jess, Jaimi and Mandy, they only have a handful of people working for them now. Only the ultra-faithful who will put up with such tit treatment and still haven't admitted to themselves that Jess isn't who they want her to be. By my reckoning it's something like 4 of them left now.

 

[SavannahS]

How long do people usually stay with her before they get wise? Seems like she'd wanna change staff fairly regularly to avoid employees beginning to "ask questions."

 

[witchinghour]

It's hard to say. Until the autumn of 2021, it was a tiny organisation.

A year before that, it only employed one woman outside of the family, then two more were brought on. Those roles weren't advertised, they were (they thought) friends or friends-of-friends. None of those women are there now, nor do they speak to Jess these days as far as I know. Two stayed for over a year, one for months.

Then there was a round of recruitment in the Autumn of 2021 and the team grew to about 16, very approximately. Some didn't stay long, only one is still there.

Jess sacked a couple of women but didn't tell the team. Because we worked remotely, this meant we didn't know they'd left so they didn't get any support at the time as we just didn't know.

Then there was the tit show after Sexy But Psycho was published last year. A load of staff were employed in April 2022. By May, the sackings had started. And have continued. Sorry, redundancies. More walked, too.

No one has been there long enough to get proper employment rights, except Jaimi and Mandy. I wonder if anyone else ever will.

There's never really been a "normal" time for VF, but the majority leave / are sacked / made redundant before a year or so, with some leaving after months or even weeks.

Who knows how long the faithful will hang on in there.
---
For a brief moment, we had 28 staff, so umnothatsnotokay you're right, it is about a quarter still there, I think.

And no leaving dos! Well, I think there may have been one more recently, but the vast majority left without any recognition of our work.

That's not normal!

Instead Jess tries to stop you communicating with staff.

She was angry when one staff member said goodbye to the team via WhatsApp and other team members have had to have good bye emails checked and sometimes altered by HR.

And then, once people leave, she bad mouths them to the staff who are still there.

She created a ridiculous story about how a couple of the team members had been there all along as they wanted to undermine VF.

(As if people have time to do that with their main source of income!)

It's laughable how many people are supposedly out to get Jess, according to her. Most people work out after a while that the common denominator here is Jess (and her lies and the way she treats people) not a never ending list of people who happen to be out to get her for no good reason.

All this is interesting given a relatively high value public sector police contract.
Normally with public sector contracts there is due diligence on the company.

Private contractors might be hired at > £1k per day but they will have blue chip backgrounds (ie have been senior at big consulting firms) & they could be let go with limited notice.

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

She's both the hero who beat all the odds, and a perpetual victim. Everyone is out to get her (from "feminists" to MRAs to ex-staff, ex-friends, randos on the internet, public figures ...)

Again this is the classic narcissist. Always the hero or the victim. Never accountable or responsible for the things that don’t go right but always the reason when things go well.

 

[SavannahS]

VF sounds like a binfire. There should be a warning somewhere for people considering working there to be careful about their pay and to know she's happy to do a quick cull of staff.

It's all just to feed her ego and her wallet and a family org that follows no basic decency

 

[CuriousTherapyCat]

What hasn’t she done? And this was before she worked in DV/DA/SA. Teaching a module on medication with no medical qualifications or even a psychology degree at that point (if I’ve got the timeline right) seems very unlikely/ unethical.

 

[Jessterday]

So she did a presentation in her health and social care gcse class then? That would at least fit in the timeline. #geniusfetus

I was totally confused about this when I saw the fb post. The only way this could make sense is if she delivered training as part of her ‘Court Area Manager’ job, and is trying to pass this off as ‘lecturing’ to ‘students’?

It doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

I do think it’s possible she has vastly exaggerated some bits of research and input she might have been involved with these topics pre-academia.

 

[witchinghour]

I'm going to bet the word "student" is doing some heavy lifting here.

Jess did coordinate and deliver training courses in-house for staff, didn't she? (Unless that's just a lie, too).

So it's probably her twisting words again - "attendees" on a 2 hour training course become "students" and sections of the training become "modules".

She's overblowing it all, as usual, to make it sound more important than it is.

 

[maisiedaisy2]

£699 to listen online to the unprepared ramblings of a narcissist and that's "half price"?! She really does think a lot of herself.

I do wonder where the money will come from in future... She must have a large mortgage and we know she loves to go on expensive holidays!

I wonder if Jaimi will stick around if the money dries up and she's no longer being treated to a lavish lifestyle.

Yet more hypocrisy given how much they love to pontificate about protecting women's incomes and Mandy being a Labour councillor...

Yes it seems like she's exaggerated it. I did think she could have taught these topics while doing her PhD but this timeline is before then. And what did she actually do at the rape centre? Again, making it sound like she did frontline work and held senior roles: "my students" "our doors".

Again I suspect she's trying to imply she's a clinical psychologist without saying it. There's no whole module on medication for MH conditions that she would teach at university and this time line puts it before then, so she had zero qualification to do so. It also really bugs me how she constantly refers to "mental health" when she means mental health conditions/ illnesses.

 

[AccidentalAcademic]

When she gave a lecture at Derby Uni she was straight on Twitter to post a photo of herself at the lectern. If she'd taught a whole module before then we'd never have heard the last of it.

 

[SavannahS]

Gross wording "medication for mental health issues ", you mean, psychotropics?

 

[SavannahS]

Is she getting called out on Instagram as well?

She shows herself up for what she is in posts like this. "I used to believe this without scrutiny, so everyone else must have".

Guys don't you remember? She posted about how she was starting her career as a Senior Lecturer in Criminology a year or so ago! She must have been doing that really quietly, between posting incessantly about writing books and notepads and selling her self-accredited training, acting as a Forensic Psychologist on low-budget TV programmes (must be artistic licence, right? Definitely not an attempt to fabricate a qualification she doesn't have), serving as lady-in-waiting to Amber Heard, assisting the police with her forensic profiling/psychic feeling that something was "off" when a woman disappeared off the face of the earth, writing articles for the Independent speculating about Nicola Bulley while scolding others for speculating about Nicola Bulley, and whatever else I've forgotten.

I can't believe I ever thought she was credible What kind of professional person lies like this? Genuinely believe it's pathological at this point.

 

[AccidentalAcademic]

When she talked about being a "senior lecturer at Derby" I suspected that she meant either a.) giving the odd guest lecture here and there or b.) holding a fixed-term part-time contract (probably hourly paid). A quick keyword search on Twitter suggests that this was the case. In 2016 she tweets about guest lecturing a couple of times (looks truthful, because she tagged in Derby's psychology department). In September 2019 she announced, "I guess this is my first day as a Senior Lecturer in Criminal and Forensic Psychology then" (referring to it as "a grownup job alongside VictimFocus", which even if tongue in cheek shows how much she wants that academic clout). Two years later, in September 2021, she was being described in the press as "formerly a senior lecturer at the University of Derby" (this was when she was fear-mongering about parents sharing photos of children in school uniform). So that part-time appointment at Derby lasted for less than two years. My guess is one year, because that is a common contract length for hourly paid or fixed-term teaching staff. I also suspect it was VERY part-time, because she never had a professional bio on Derby's website, and usually even staff on fixed-term contracts get a departmental profile if they're teaching a lot. For context, I had one when I was on a two-year full-time contract, but not when I did a year of hourly paid work covering just two modules.

So there's absolutely nothing to indicate when she was supposedly delivering "modules" about psychopharmacology, and a lot to suggest her other claims re. lectureships have been exaggerated.

I can't believe I ever thought she was credible What kind of professional person lies like this? Genuinely believe it's pathological at this point.

I think her behaviour has escalated over the years. It wasn't always this bad, or at least this visible. Looking back she always did have a problem if someone disagreed with her, but this trait has been magnified by increased exposure on social media. Three or four years ago mental health professionals on Twitter wouldn't have even known who she was. Her more dubious statements were only being seen by a less knowledgeable and less critical audience, so she wasn't challenged as often. Now she is frequently challenged by people who see through all the vague language and threadbare evasions - so she doubles down harder, gets more belligerent, carries out more cosmetic surgery on her ever-changing CV. It's a vicious cycle for her.

She's also torpedoed any chance she had of reliable work in academia or with a legitimate research organisation. Bluffing is difficult when you need to submit a detailed 15 page CV and five-year research plan with your application. Vague references to "frontline work" won't get you shortlisted - they want to know what you did, where, when, with whom. It's normal to be asked for three, sometimes even four references rather than the standard two. You usually have to name the specific modules you convened as well. This also drives the cycle of lies. She's made herself completely unemployable, and all she's got now is the grift, so she's got to make sure the grift keeps going.
