An HR manager at a property maintenance company in Oregon has been accused of sending a penis-shaped chocolate to an employee and telling him to eat “ad**k.”

Steven Urenda, cleaning manager at Dasher Lights LLC and Aspen Ridge Property Services, received a large black chocolate penis and scrotum at home with the message “Eat AD**k” written on the inside of the box.

Racial discrimination, harassment and retaliation charges are at the center of the lawsuit Urenda filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court.

Jessica Carlin, the lead HR person at the company, allegedly sent the nasty gift and harassed the Hispanic employee, forcing him to resign due to the hostile work environment.

Urenda is now seeking $525,000 in damages following the alleged racial harassment caused by the chocolate fiasco.

The chocolate was sent by Carlin – and she accidentally left her own name on the offending package and later admitted to sending it.

Instead of firing Carlin, Aspen Ridge owners Matthew McCasline and John Scott Paxman ultimately offered Urenda a $50 gift card and a promised apology from Carlin.

But she never said sorry, according to the lawsuit filed Aug. 25.

During the investigation, Jessica Carlin admitted that she had called Urenda a “huge jerk” to management a few days before Urenda received the package at his home.

Carlin’s husband Patrick worked at Aspen Ridge under Urenda’s supervision.

According to the press release, Urenda’s wife and daughter were home when the package arrived and were “deeply shocked by the contents and message.”

Both his wife and his young child witnessed the phallic birth.

The gift was purchased from D**k At Your Door, a company that provides custom raw edibles deliveries. They have 89 percent five-star reviews on the phallic product.

The company wrote online: ‘Roses are so 2000. Chocolate is even better, a chocolate d**k. This milk chocolate d**k in a box is perfect for a special occasion or just as a friendly reminder to eat ad**K.

‘Originally developed as a way for people to anonymously tell their friends, office colleagues etc. to “eat ad**k” without the consequences, D**k at Your Door has grown into a great way to liven up the hen party, laugh , or just eat some delicious chocolate.

‘This blossom chocolate d**k box is sent anonymously. Make sure you select insulated shipping at check out!’

However, Carlin’s shipment did not appear to be anonymous.

The press release stated, “The entire Urenda family was disgusted by the clear racial implications and shocked that no action was taken by the owners of Dasher of Aspen Ridge to remedy the crime.”

According to the lawsuit, the janitor “was shocked when his partner informed him of the package, and was disgusted by the obvious racial implications of sending a large black chocolate penis to his household.”

Urenda – who was paid $60,000 a year at the company – claimed that his co-workers then began spitting trash at his workplace when he complained about his treatment at the company.

Urenda’s lead lawyer Daniel Le Roux said: ‘To allow a managerial employee in a position of power – especially one responsible for HR functions – to act against an employee in such a blatantly racist and intimidating manner is inexcusable enough, but the retaliation my attorney the client received while advocating for some basic human dignity and a safe work environment went one step further.

“We hope this case sends a clear message that if an Oregon company allows this level of outrageous behavior, they will be held accountable.”
