Weird Racism At My Job?

[boedicca]

I know. The Progs are very busy trying to transform our culture from "leave people alone to do their own thing" to "force people to participate in whatever the Woke folks decide". I just hope enough woke companies go broke fast enough for this nonsense to flame out.

The let us be racists whenever we want culture you would like to return is not going to.

You are seriously mistaken. What you promote is Racism.

Nah, that's not the case. Intelligent successful whites understand what I'm saying.

Wrong again, bub.

But you do get 10 Points For Consistency!

I find it interesting that the only leftist bigot who showed up to squawk unrelated talking points is someone I've had on ignore for so long, I forgot he even existed.

He's clearly a random bot from the old Virtual Autorantic Moonbat code base.

Oh, I don't worry about my ability to take care of myself and land on my feet. I'm ungodly good at what I do. I just know that I can be paranoid sometimes, and wanted to know whether or not I was imagining things.

I'm sorry your company has gotten vengefully Woke. You'll be better off in a new place that doesn't discriminate against you.

You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find a job where they just let you disappear into your cubicle, plow through the work pile, then go home, but it is.

I know. The Progs are very busy trying to transform our culture from "leave people alone to do their own thing" to "force people to participate in whatever the Woke folks decide". I just hope enough woke companies go broke fast enough for this nonsense to flame out.

What “force” are you referring to?

The Progressive Agenda, bub.

Specifically in regards to this conversation what are you talking about?

I'm 100 percent correct. Places like this are the only places opinions from people like you are even considered. Try taking this situation to the EEOC and see how far it doesn't go.

^^^ Yet another Racist Race Baiting post by a Racist Race Baiting Race Baiter ^^^

 

[gallantwarrior]

Okay, you guys tell me whether I'm imagining something or not.

For two years, I've had a job I really loved at a small business which was fairly well racially-integrated, particularly given the locations of the primary offices (Arizona and Israel). Everyone who was there when I got there had been chosen by either the owner or the controller. Then one of the girls in my physical office left to move out of town with her boyfriend, and my supervisor was given the chance to replace her. She hired Nicole, who happens to be black. She's very good at her job and quite pleasant, so okay. Clearly a "hired on qualifications" choice.

Since then, she and my supervisor, Katie, have become super-buddies. This was also okay, because the other girl in my physical office, Jess, and I were also pretty buddy-buddy. Everyone worked hard, and we had a pleasant environment, and I always felt appreciated and valued for the job I did.

Then Jess left. We were already shorthanded because a lady from another office had left, and there was a lot of scrambling to reassign jobs to get everything covered. Weirdly enough, instead of just apportioning the work of these two ladies out to the remaining employees, Katie decided to totally reorganize everyone's responsibilities, and I suddenly found myself doing the worst and most menial parts of my job and Nicole's job, while Nicole was doing the more administrative aspects of both, including job functions I myself had created, developed, and organized from the ground up.

Nepotism, right? Then Katie decided she had to hire someone soon to replace Jess, because we were all swamped and barely hanging in there (possibly because we begged her to). Out of a large stack of resumes, she chose three people to interview - THREE. Two of them were black men; the third was a woman named "O'Sheena". While no one said it out loud, it was obvious from overheard conversations that she was expected to be black. She showed up for her interview and was half-Asian. Unlike the guys, her interview only last five minutes. No joke.

Katie swore there was no one else in that stack who was really qualified. Mind you, the basic skills needed for this job are not the least bit uncommon or difficult. So she decided to try a temp-to-hire through an employment agency, the way the company acquired me. She did phone interviews, and brought someone in. Guess what race SHE was?

For the record, the Phoenix metropolitan area has, on average, about half the national average for black population. I think it strains coincidence for every single replacement and prospective replacement to be black, and I have the distinct impression that Katie is trying to remake the office into her own racial preference.

I know I'm not imagining the attempt to squeeze me out, but am I imagining the reason behind it?

No....your boss is a virtue signaling liberal moron who just wants to hire more blacks to feel good about herself. I also live in the Phoenix metro area, blacks are not really that plentiful out here, you are not dealing with a coincidence.

I think she just really wishes she was black, to tell the truth. And no, black people are about 6% of the population of the Phoenix metro area, half the national percentage. All four of the people who have been hired/considered for hire in the last two years? Can't possibly be a fluke.

Could it be that she wants to help the black community with the little power she has? When you see reports that their unemployment rate is twice as high as whites and they have higher poverty rates and they deal with racial hardships in other areas... it racist or even wrong for somebody to want to focus on helping that cause?

Also she is married to a black guy is that right? Perhaps she has better relationships and commonalities with blacks so she is drawn to them more than others. Like I said before everybody is their own preference, attractions, and comforts in all facets of life. We are never going to have a truly objective and uninfluenced society.

Regardless of motivation, it's still racist. Affirmative Action is racist. Any program that prefers one race over another solely on basis of race is racist. I will observe that if someone exercises their own preference in favor of Caucasians, they would be immediately censored.

Let’s say somebody isn’t attracted to Asians and therefore not interested in dating them. Would that make them racist against Asians?

I prefer dating Asians, actually, so I can speak to this. It does not in any way impinge on the rest of my life. Couldn't care less what race or ethnicity my co-workers are, so long as I don't have to carry their dead weight.

 

[Cecilie1200]

UPDATE: I received an email the day after I applied for a job I was very interested in, asking me to submit a full copy of my resume (because Indeed.com withholds contact info) and my availability for an interview. I responded, and the next day I got an email informing me that one of their directors would actually like to consider me for a position as his Personal Assistant, for $3 an hour more than I make now. I agreed that that would be okay, and was asked to email him directly. This is where things currently stand.

You could have said "carry them". But you chose "dead weight". I like that.
