Look sweetheart don't trip, just go with the blows. Its always something wherever we go. No one will ever understand completely the pressures we face each and everyday living as black Americans. Its all ignorance if you ask me. Never let anyone move you from your comfort. If that job is producing your comfort at home, Milk that job for all its worth of all its knowledge, and paychecks and one day soon start your own Company. I know its hard, but learn to adapt to that work force environment. Its the only way to get ahead.

why would you work for someone who has a history of firing his female employees after only a week, plus he is trying to doop you with that low amount of pay... that is less than minimun wage... he sounds like a pig to me...

That isn't fair.  I would write everything down and take the issue to upper management or HR.  No matter what your job title, it is no reason to be treated that way. The quick vengeful solution would be to quit during a very busy time of day, but you have to make sure you will  be able to make do until you find another job.  Doing that won't look good for you when you apply for the next job though.  Just try to be patient for meanwhile.  I actually think this is the easiest time to look for a new job, especially in retail or any place that gets busy during the holidays.  Good Luck!!

I don't think they are allowed to fire you based on that because it would be discrimination.  That doesn't mean that they can't come up with some other stupid reason instead.  Just be careful and consult an attorney just in case.

quit.\nu are too good of a human being to be let down by a racist co-worker. You can (if you're feeling evil) rat to your superiors. talk to the customer service section of your job, and tell them that you think your manager is being racist and judge mental and it is affecting their job and the way they treat people.

Hi there,\n\nI can see where you're coming from, but I don't think men get ALL the opportunities. \nBasically, IF the workforce is sexist it is because people in general are sexist. It is absolutely disgusting, but unfortunately it can't really be helped.\n\nOn the other hand, the action being taken to combat the male domination of the workforce isn't much better either as it involves what the government likes to call "positive descrimination" whereby those who are part of a minority group (I.e. women in the workforce) are given extra opportunity over the majority group (I.e. men in the workforce).\n\nIn answer to your question, I think you have to also consider things from an employers point of view. Women fall pregnant (so that means payed maternity leave) and have children, and generally their work will reach a lower standard once they have children (because they are guilty about leaving their children, and because they have to stretch themselves more thinly over the added responisibilities). It's true that this is extremely unfair for women (especially since not all women are planning on having children) but at the same time, the employer has a business to run, and can only be so sympathetic (and don't think that it's only male employers who do this, female employers are often in the same or a similar situation)\n\nOne solution is to have a shared responsibility between a woman and her husband in terms of taking care of the children and just the housework in general - but not all guys are willing to consent to that. This I think is the biggest wrong, because most of the other problems can't be helped, whereas this one just involves a little bit more effort on the part of men.\n\nI believe, instead of FORCING employers to hire women through positive discrimination, employers should be ENCOURAGED to hire women through paid incentives or added rights given to the company / business, which would encourage them to employ and KEEP women (even through a pregnancy).\n\nI think it is incredibly unfair, but we can't exactly change the way that it is, just try to find a way to make it as fair as we can.\n\nThat's just my opinion,\nFahed\n\nP.S. I am a guy - yes, some of us are conscious of the problem and no, not all of us are scum

I don't know if your racist, but I think some people have really pissed you off.  I'm white and have never been a brown noiser if you know what I mean.  It got me the title of anti-social.  No, I just refused to kiss butt.  After a hard day at work, I want to go home and see my family and kids not kiss butt for several more hours with people who make me sick to my stomach with all of there back stabbing and lies and attempts to kiss the Mans behind.  I feel like you should judge me on my merits and my hard work not by my social hours with the boss.  My job is important to me, but so is my family and my sense of reality.  Dude, by the way I know Black people who are the same way as Fat Boy Whitie.  Wait till you met them....Good luck on your future.  But people like this come in all colors of the rainbow.

You are probley too nice. Show them you wont take anymore mess in a way that wont get you fired.Call off a couple of times. If they feel you are a valued employee they should cut you some slack. If not quit.

Well......keep following the rules But Do Not and I repeat Do Not follow your co-workers around telling them how they are not following the rules and also don't be a "tattle tale".   Nobody likes working with someone like that. And as Crazy as it sounds just because you follow all the rules to a T it doesn't mean that You are more productive or a more valuable employee than someone who may bend them sometimes. Just focus on your own work and what you do and you won't have time to worry about who is following the rules.    Good Luck.

I don't think there is anything that you can do, as long as you weren't discrimintated against.  I'm guessing that you were working at what's considered "at will" employment.  It means that you can go as you please, but unfortunately, they can do the same for you.  Definitely not fair, but unfortunately in the corporate world, everything is about the bottom line.

Pink slip in your pay packet.\n\nYour coworkers are always planning a going away party for you.\n\nAfter x years, your boss still refers to you in the third person in your presence.\n\nYour schedule is erased or crossed out.\n\nEvery time you go to a staff party, you find it's not where you were told it would be, and is, in fact, in a different city than the one you just drove over an hour to reach.\n\nYou arrive at work and find your parking space has a handicap parking only sign.\n\nYour cubicle has been relocated to the old washroom.\n\nThe small fires you've been setting at work are requiring more and more petrol to be "really satisfying."\n\nYour coworkers have stopped planning your farewell party and have started planning their own going away parties.\n\nYou are constantly annoyed that your office has no rafters or any other structure from which you can hang a noose.\n\nYour boss tells you that when he told you to "try thinking outside the box," he was in fact referring to your cubicle.\n\nYou arrive at work and find that some thoughful person has organized your entire cubicle so that all your stuff fits tidily in a box, which is sitting outside.\n\nI hope this helps you, now I must get back to polishing my guns....\n\n:) \n=)  \n:o \n;(

If "you" feel that your superiors are being unfair in their reports about you and your co-workers are manipulating you......perhaps this isn't the organization for you.\n\nWhy stay someplace where you aren't happy?

Oh my gosh, did you work at the same place I did?  Your story sounded exactly like the situation I had.  Management and supervisory positions had changed at my work and from then on, the nightmare began.  The witch who rose to power was a narcissitic, egotistical backstabber who made it so unbearable for everyone. She continuously found it amusing to berate, belittle and degrade each and every employee in the company by telling us that we were underworked and so grossly over-paid (we all made more $$$$ than her). Someone who is in the psychology field said that this supervisor's had low self-esteem issues (she weighs close to 300 lbs.)and it is satisfying to her to put others down in order to feel better about herself.  She can't control her weight so she tried to control others.  Unfortunately, confronting this supervisor only compounded to the problem, as she could not take constructive criticism from ANY employee...and talking to the owner of the company proved to be useless, as he always avoided any type of problem or confrontation issue.  Since I did not have an advocate or anyone I could really turn to, the stress of going to work every day was taking it's toll on my health.  For peace of mind and sanity, I gave them my two weeks notice but did not burn my bridges upon my resignation. It is a good idea to have something lined up to go to, especially if you need the income and medical benefits.  You really don't want to be at the mercy of your current employer when it comes to recommendations or verifications.  Good luck.....

What a drag.....Sounds like maybe you should take you resume somewhere else.  Some people have to downgrade everyone else just to make themselves feel better, superior, or whatever reason.  It's obvious he's got issues.  You're only going to be able to put up with him for so long before you'll probably snap.  Start looking for other employment because I doubt very much if he'll ever change.  Unless you feel like stepping up and being the one to change him.  Confront him with the problem.....maybe he needs to hear how he treats people....\nI sure hope whatever you do things work out of you...\nGooday! ! !

Well, I am neither bi-racial or multiracial, but I notice being white I still face discrimination sometimes.  Some people automatically assume I am racist, even though I am so far from it.  For example, the other day at work a Hispanic couple (their race doesn't matter to me, but it illustrates the point) came up to pay for their dinner with a credit card.  Our policy is that we ask everyone for I.D. when they are paying with a card.  It's for their protection, but also because we have seen cases of fraud.  Anyhow, he seemed a little irritated, but he showed me, finished the bill and left.  About 20 minutes later his wife called and spoke to my manager and said that I was being racist asking for I.D. because they were Hispanic.  My manager explained that asking for I.D. is a company policy and that I was only doing what I was told.  She told them next time they came in that they would receive a free dinner.  However, when she hung up, she came and told me she had watched me when they were paying and that I had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that if those people ever came in again to let her know so that she would ask them to leave.  It kinda bothered me because I know I am not racist in the slightest, but I just laughed it off because I knew it was their ignorance and not mine.  Gosh, sorry for making this so long.
