White. That place was almost exclusively white, like three black people i can remember there (out of hundreds), none of anything else Despite the image i may cultivate around here, i'm generally polite, deferential, and amiable, and this lady was literally the only person at that place that i actively disliked. The lesson here is clearly to just let the bullies have their way: if management sees fit to do something, fine, if not, don't push it, just look for another job. |
I am in the minority (being white in a non management position) at my factory job. Operators are mainly Asians, Hispanics, and black at my job. Even though the job is stressful (most operator jobs require one to stand/move around 8 or more hours and stress put on by management) almost everyone is friendly towards me at my job. This mainly looks to me as someone who believes they are better than you merely because they worked there longer. Usually most companies will side with employees that have been there longer (unless they are completely wrong) and toss contract, temps, and trainees under the bus. I've been contract employee (not fully hired on by company but work for them through a contract company so they can easily lay off) in manufacturing industry for too long. I also live in a "right to work" state (Texas) which is really just a bs phrase that means right to not form unions or right to fire. Sure unions have their downside but without them we wouldn't have workers comp, 40 hour work week, overtime pay, safer working conditions, etc. So unions might not be viewed in favorable light these days but they did accomplish a lot back in the day. I know what it is like to be shitted on. Sorry this happened to you but after being terminated for that I wouldn't ever want to work for that company again.
