[...]The Depressing Effects of Racial Discrimination « The Situationist[...]…

I work for one of the largest corporations in America for a 6 month term and throughout this period I have been passed over when applying for a permanent position that I qualify for, treated like a second class citizen as a caucasian woman and a hispanic woman who came in behind me have been elevated under these very temporary circumstances.

Because of the malice and hatred spewing throughout my section the hispanic and caucasian woman suggested that I be removed from the area because I am not productive and that I am on the internet, email and telephone all day everyday! I am not guilty of either of those accusations. However, today I was moved to the other side of the office with no telephone, no internet access and no e-mail. I know this because I cannot recieve e-mail from the project manager (she complained) and I did not have access to e-support on the internet for system issues that I encountered while setting up and there was no telephone on my desk to call technical support either.

My husband tells me to leave because there are only 19 days remaining on this project but I want to tough it out.

All of this said Corporate America is full of crap especially when it comes down to someone with 13 years of experience in HER field and 2 degrees oh and AFRICAN AMERICAN!
