Today I'd like to talk about reverse discrimination. I've always tried to never discriminate or be racist in any way shape or form because I feel like it's just a form of hate.
But over the past few years at work, I feel as though some of us are experiencing reverse discrimination. The reason being is because the bosses threaten to write people up or reprimand them or even fire them if they don't do certain things. Yet the only ones getting wrote up are us white folks. Let me be clear some of the white folks have special ed type issues and those ones seem to be safe. For example one gal that is "special" got pulled from her area for doing such a bad job and now she's a float. Myself on the other hand, I got blamed for an area not being cleaned often enough even though I'm not the only one working in that area and I got wrote up. The others did not. Nothing was even said to them. Then I got wrote up for not cleaning a room good enough supposedly. But this other person can do a terrible job on their area to the point they need to be pulled from it and they still have a job and haven't been written up. The folks we work with that are a different skin color get away with murder. While some of the white folks get blamed for the crap they do wrong. Yet they don't even get spoken to about their mistake. The non white folks get a month and half of vacation all at once and the rest of us get a week at a time. It's total BS! There was one colored girl that got fired after they spent a year gathering evidence and FINALLY got rid of her.
A YEAR!
I do one thing wrong and I'm in the office the next day getting threatened with my job over something minor.
I don't understand why this is happening in the workplace but it makes it difficult to not feel slighted and angry. I think we should all be treated the same. I have an issue with my lungs and I was told it was a personal problem. Yet others who have issues with their health get away with certain crap. Maybe it's just our management that's the problem. But I am still calling BS on it.
I don't think discrimination of ANY kind should be allowed in the workplace. I don't give a shit what color someone's skin is or what kind of health issues they have. When will we all be treated like equals? Discrimination has been happening for thousands of years. According to a google search the first slave was in 2030 BCE. Thousands of years. When will it end for all of us? They talk about being all inclusive at work but only certain people get treated certain ways. BS!
Time for some black and white movies and some closet decluttering.
