The Recent Work Occurence

[Caledonian]

I know many here probally don't wish to hear the specifics of my personal life especially in a variety of threads but this place has become a favorite internet site of mine and a home away from home so to speak.

I hope you guys don't mind me venting.


Well it finally happened and believe me when it happened I was totally caught off guard in that I didn't plan on it happening but it went on happening anyways earlier today at my work place.


I don't know if anybody has heard me reference that the company I work for is sixty five percent black where my department alone I'm the only white person along with one other elderly lady but today was apparently the day that I couldn't stomach the harassment any further where I put my foot down firmly in defiance of the supervisorial staff's tolerance for me being harassed while they hide behind their cloak of authority letting things stand as they are where those harassing me go unpunished.

(All supervisors and staff being black.)

I will not go into the specifics of the altercation but let's just say it resulted in me arguing with my manager at the end of the day before I clocked out where I was threatened to be fired tomorrow morning.

I will go to work in defiance tomorrow morning unflitchingly where I will stand up for myself despite probally being fired anyways.

It is my goal in being able to retain my job in that I don't wish to be fired because jobs are hard to come by these days in this country but I have the feeling that the manager's authority in which he hides behind will ultimately be my undoing.

I will make them in writing write the specifics of my termination should it happen so that they don't cheat me out of my unemployment income somthing of which I have never had to get before because I have never filed for unemployment.

I only have two hundred and fifty dollars to my name currently.

I've alerted my landlord of my current problem in which he said he will work with me for a couple of months so long as I keep the cash flowing. How long that arrangement would last I don't know and I'm not putting to much faith into that either.

If I'm fired I will try looking for another job but ultimately if I can't by next summer while collecting unemployment I will pack my bags and wander on the road again in which I will ultimately move somewhere else.

That might actually be a good thing considering that I hate this progressivist liberal cosmopolitan democratic socialism of this city and it's social decadence anyways.

I've tried to make Michigan work since moving to this state a year ago where it was a hope of mine to restart my life and to go back to school again here but with this latest event that goal seems to be farther away from me as my immediate survival has been put in jeopardy.

If I'm forced to move again I will most likely move to the New England segment of the country on the north eastern coast probally in the state of Maine as I'm told that is a dominantly ethnic white place to live.

[The closer I am to the European homeland the better.]

I would like to move out of the country all things considering but I think I'm far away from that happening anytime soon.

(At the very least sneak into northern Canada if not Europe maybe.)

If I can't survive in this city after being fired very long should I be fired tomorrow morning I will walk on my own two feet to travel in which I will walk the damn distance to somewhere else if I have to.

I feel nothing but disgust and anger right now.

Well, do you have the option of just quitting? Do you think you can find another job where you would be appreciated by your co-workers and management staff?

[Wynterwade]

Don't let it get to you. Your still young and most people switch jobs on average 9 times in their life.

I've been fired before and it ended up being the best thing for me.

I'm currently looking for my 4th job (a long term one after college).

If I quit I will be unable to collect unemployment. At this point if I don't collect unemployment without this job I will be thrown out onto the streets eventually.

As for finding another job I just don't know.

Well my employment history looks like a train wreck and added with this recent place I work at in which I have only worked there for a total of seven months it would only add to that train wreck in looking for another job if I'm fired.

[Tannhauser]

OH wow!

I wish the very best and I do agree with another poster that in the long term leaving that job and ultimately leaving Michigan might end up being the best thing to happen to you. In the meantime it is worrisome to loose or have the threat of job loss hanging over one's head in today's uncertain times. But you have your honor and your family here on Skadi and I am sure I speak for everyone when I say we support you amd send wished for good luck!

Thankfully I did not lose my job today. I stood my ground in defiance and faced every opposition in my work place head on this morning.

I was very surprised that I was not terminated because when I woke up today I literally expected to be fired especially after how I grilled one of the black managers yesterday to the point that he had a hard time restraining himself in conversation with me.

( Me and him got into quite a heated exchange where I literally told him that he was hiding behind his authority where the authority of the entire department was operated like a circus with him being the ring leader followed with myself telling him to make my day in which I told him I didn't really care either way because of how pathetic things became.)

I will explain what happened in detail in a bit because what happened today was quite humorous to say in the very least.
