    wow, so now office politics and nepotism is racism in your books? You are way off here. You really need to look up the definition of racism, you toss that word out a lot where it doesn’t belong.

    Sure but I am not going to call it racism simply because of my ethnicity. It wasn’t because of my ethnicity. Happens to everyone. It doesn’t make this racism.

    You simply don’t know the meaning of the word. It had nothing to do with my ethnicity. It was about nepotism, it was about power. Everything was fine as long as I fell in line, same with everyone else in the department who did fall in line. I simply didn’t fit the mold she wanted. Not racism. I said I can’t get her lunch anymore and then everything fell apart. How is that racism? I wasn’t the first one to have this happen under her, and won’t be the last. The one before me was blonde hair and blue eyes. Happened to another who was from the Philippians too, although she was stealing stuff too. So they froze her out when it was suspected she was, she liked to knit, So she was fired instead of just moving on.

    I agree with you about the number of people who don't know the meaning of the word 'racism', I'm sick to death of hearing people throw allegations of racism about simply because someone criticises the Muslim faith, they seem incapable of understanding that a religion is just that, it isn't a race and as such if I say to someone, "I hate the Muslim religion" then I cannot be accused of being racist. I think the use of the word has been used so much that it's in danger of losing it's true meaning soon, it seems that the answer to any problem these days is to play the race card, if a non-white doesn't get a job it's not because they are not suitably qualified, or lack the experience, it's because the person doing the interview is racist! In the UK we are not really fond of the Irish Gypsies, they cause mayhem wherever they go, they steal, they cause trouble, in general they are a law unto themselves, yet to them it isn't because of their behaviour that they are hated, it's because everyone else is racist!

    It is used as a crutch, this word. It burns my ass when it is abused. Each time it is falsely thrown out there, it diminishes the value of the word too. It is not always used as a crutch, but it being thrown out there without evidence. Terrible,
    Funny too, I never mentioned the ethnicity of my boss either, but I am thinking that vlad assumed she was a white woman. I never said.

    Agree, it seems these days that people will use any form of discrimination as an excuse to make up for their failings, I didn't get that job because of my colour, so the firm is racist, I didn't get the job because I'm gay, so the firm is homophobic, I didn't get the job because I'm Jewish, so the firm is anti-semitic, and so on. Well how about a new one, I didn't get the job because I wasn't suitable by reason of my lack of qualifications, or I wasn't physically capable of doing the job.
    Last year the firm I was working for asked me to find myself an assistant, my workload was increasing and it was decided I needed help, it was also decided that it would be best if I recruited my own assistant, since it would be me who'd have to work with them. Now, in the past I've had some assistants who've been useless, they're just not interested, yes they want the money, but they don't want to work for it. As they are constantly saying there are not enough women in my field, I decided to try and find one, by and large I find them more keen to learn, they have better attention to detail, and are more accepting to criticism, when they get something wrong.
    My only requirements, based purely on the cost and amount of effort involved in training them and getting them a recognised qualification were as follows, she needed to either be single, or have a partner who'd accept she'd be working with me quite closely, this is because a lot of the work involves travel, being away from home all week is part of the job, she also had to be either old enough that her kids were grown up, or if she was younger, then she must not be planning on having kids for at least the next 3 years as it takes 2 years to get the qualification and experience.
    I didn't want anyone who'd constantly have a partner ringing her at work and getting paranoid about what me and her were doing on an evening, neither did I want someone who'd have childcare issues and keep going off to deal with them, I had absolutely no interest whatsoever in getting her into bed!
    Now what amazed me about this was that when I did try and recruit a female I was told I couldn't specifically state that I wanted a female to fulfill the role, you can't win, on one hand they're saying there's not enough women in my field but when you try and recruit one you get told you cannot!

    head hunters are good for this. I have had many head hunters calling me before. Maybe next time try one of those companies. Will cost you of course, not sure how much. But it is funny how you were in a bind there. As a woman I get it. Looks and ethnicity doesn’t matter. Personalities matter as well. If you have to work closely with someone, their personality matters,

    a friend of mine had to hire a person to fill a position, the person would be working with him, assistant for his work load. There was one guy who came in for an interview, he was the son of an investment company who had a lot of money invested in the company my friend worked for. The boss wanted him hired. The interview went terribly. He basically let my friend know, during the interview, that he was getting the job, this was a formality and he could just breeze through in the company. He didn’t get hired. He wasn’t willing to work at all. Qualified, lacking experience, and clearly lazy. Many get opportunities at the bottom, they have to work their way up. One has to prove themselves.

    The getting lunch for my boss, there were worse things that happened after this. I had done it for about three months, it was burning me out, no time to eat, no break from a busy day. Her solution when I said I didn’t have time to eat myself was, you can eat in my office. Did that for a few weeks too. Sitting in a corner eating off my lap. Then when I got out of that, really demoralizing things happened, way way worse than the exclusion from Christmas party organizing. Letters in inter office mail that were really cruel and anonymous was the worst. After I had gathered a bunch I brought it to my boss. She said, I know, we, meaning everyone in the department, typed them from your desk while you were at lunch. Nothing racist at all in it but terrible things written in it. Purse being stollen from my desk daily, brought this to my boss, I knew who was doing it, but I was not allowed in his desk. She did nothing to stop it. Encouraged it even. I had no one to go to. Was this racism? No. I was a target for her, and everyone in the department fell in line, I would never have fallen in line with this, against any of them, that was the problem. Still not racism.

    You hear so many stories of things happening at work that it amazes me what goes on and what in some companies is deemed acceptable, bosses seem to turn a blind eye to a lot of things, some of which are actually abuse, I remember one partiularly nasty incident at a factory where my ex wife worked when we were still married many years ago.
    She was employed as a 'stripper'in a meat processing plant, basically cooked chickens were sent along a conveyor belt and the job of the 'stripper' was to remove every scrap of meat from the carcasses, now all of this work was done by women, mostly young ones, there were very few men in the factory and they did things like heavy lifting, maintenance and forklift driving.
    Because it was work on a production line you couldn't just get up to go to the toilet, the only time the line stopped was for breaks, so if you needed the toilet outside of break times you had to raise your hand and wait until a supervisor took over your position, then you only had a few minutes to go off and use the toilet, this led to various forms of abuse taking place. If a person had upset a supervisor, or they'd taken a dislike to them then they'd make them wait to be replaced on the line, then on other occasions they'd make people wait until it was almost too late, on one occasion the wife came home and told me about an incident that had occured that day when a young woman had needed to use the toilet and the supervisor had kept her waiting and waiting until the poor girl had lost control and wet herself, he'd then announced over the PA system that a cleaner was needed urgently as a woman had 'pissed herself' on the line!
    it was one of those places where you had to wear a white coat over your own clothes and a pair of wellington boots, the boots are not allowed to be taken from the factory for hygene reasons, so you put your own footwear that you come to work in inside your locker and change into your wellingtons. my wife had gone to work in a pair of knee-high boots on this particular day as it was winter and cold,she was quite an attractive young lady, 20 years old,slim with long blonde hair, she'd been the subject of several crude comments from some of the men over a few weeks, but had just shrugged it off. However on this occasion things took a far more sinister turn, she was on the line working, like most of the girls she was wearing a pair of black leggings, it was either those or jeans,that most of the young women wore. mid morning she realised she needed to use the toilet and raised her hand to alert the supervisor, he clearly saw her but kept her waiting, this went on for about half an hour, she was begining to think she'd end up wetting herself, finally he took over and she ran to the toilet, much to the amusement of the men, when she got into the cubicle she saw that someone had taken her boots out of her locker, masturbated all over them and then placed them in the toilet bowl!
    She was so distressed by this that she ended up wetting herself, she cleaned herself up as best she could, cleaned her boots and then rang me to tell me what had happened, she was in a right state, fortunately I was off work that day so I drove down to pick her up. She never went back to that job, I went in and raised hell, threatening to beat up the person responsible if I found out who they were, I never did. I created so much fuss that certain people got fired over it, apparently it had been going on for years and was regarded as harmless fun!

    that is disgusting. Terrible the things that people do to others simply because they hold too much power.
    I am glad you quoted m e. It is funny,I. Thought of people like vlad who would celebrate this kind of thing simply because the individual voted differently or doesn’t fall in line, like I didn’t at that company.

    If I. had it to do over, I would have gotten a lawyer, and hi5 the company where it hurts most, in the pocket book. I am stronger having come through it tbh. I don’t take it in the gut anymore. I come back fighting. I hope your wife would do the same today. It is my regret I didn’t. Maybe tha5 would have brought about change. My boss fired, and a cash settlement with me, that would have been very public. Perhaps part of her pay in whatever job she gets going to me. I didn’t blame the company, it was great, she was not. I wanted it to go away back then, today I would be coming back and hitting hard. Does your wife regret not taking legal action? Is she stronger for it? Won’t take it anymore?

    my mom said, get a lawyer, I just wanted it to go away, to move on. She said, if it was me I would. It was an experience I wouldn’t wipe out. It made me aware. I came out on the other side stronger. I don’t like power over others. My only power is within myself.

    I used to just beat the shit out of people if they took the piss, I was well known for it, but also for the fact that I was good at my job, sometimes I'd apply for a job and not get it because they knew my propensity for violence, sometimes I'd get it because they knew how good I was at my job, if I didn't get the job it didn't worry me, it merely served to prove that some bosses were assholes and while they knew bullying was going on they were not prepared to tackle it.

    Wait, you're Canadian and you know more about the reality of things here than at least half of our own people do! We are in a sad situation and crumbling fast. I do hope for the sake of the future well being of our country and even the whole world that we somehow wake up from this brainwashed nightmare and get real.

    It does feel to me like a neutral article relating the facts. I saw no mention of race nor ethnicity which means they're not trying to be divisive about it. The same cannot be said for the majority of news these days which is clearly demonstrating a political agenda, obvious to anyone willing to look.

    yes and so many Will just disregard this. Simply because it is from fox. I see so many left news sources and people on the left throwing out the word racist simply to say, if you don’t agree with me, you are racist, you are right wing, you are a white supremacist. The right is biased, the right is bad, you are a bad person, your words must be silenced. Now that article right there, from a right wing news source is called far right. The entire right has been promoted on the left as a far right party. Is this true? I do not believe it is. To me this was the most center, neutral article that was Printed regarding this. designed to calm, not to create anger. It brings about understanding, compassion, let the courts handle it. It doesn’t negate what this man did at all. Words do have a lot of power. Racist, white, right wing are becoming trigger words for people. Brings about instant hatred, To me, that is scary. I do not see right wing mainstream doing this kind of thing, often It comes from the left Mainstream sources.

    It's no mystery now that the majority of the mainstream media are shills for democrat politicians and policies. They learn their "craft" in liberal colleges after liberal public schools who teach that confidence is what's important, not competence, that nothing that happens to anyone is the result of their choices but rather of an evil competitive system compiled by evil competitive people, and that "compassion" is a bully figure robbing a fish from the people who dragged themselves out early and giving it to the people who were up all night partying and choose to sleep all morning. (The bully figure keeping some for himself, of course) The nasty right wingers would let them go hungry that day as a lesson in setting priorities, teach them when to go to bed, when to get up, and how to catch fish so they can take care of themselves (true compassion).

    But what fun is that?

    In your experience and lessons learned, you make the case for why a certain amount of bullying creates stronger people. Having to endure a degree of oppression teaches the importance of freedom. Freedom only gets maintained by people who understand what it is and the importance of it. Bullying is a good lesson of the intrinsic nature of people. Those who feel it remember it a lot more than those who read about it. And they're the ones who will stand up against it in adult society. But then again, that's a mean and nasty right winger realistic practical view of it which ultimately would require less governing class to keep a society in line. Those who miss out on it are more likely to suffer under a strong handed authoritarian governing class as adults.

    Pointless violence porn.

    “And I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?”
    Henry David Thoreau
