Ironic:

I work for a LARGE company, (too large if you ask me) and in my many years of working here, I have seen the employees cycle over to a VERY heavily Woman based demographic.

While I am a white male, this can prove a problem. Understandably I also know that I am and will be the new minority in the world and will have to learn to deal and live with it until someone forms the N.A.W.E.M. or the National Association for White Educated Males.

So this morning I started talking to our admin and a comment was made that at first surprised me to hear, and made it difficult for me not to respond. (And I didn’t)

I was talking to her about the changes in the departments that have and are happening as a result of our merger. She became apparently disgusted with the situation and then started sharing her view.

That is when she made the comment “I find it interesting that they are keeping all the male managers from the other company and demoting the female managers from ours. It’s just basic discrimination.”

Now I have felt for a Long time that the reverse was true, and there are some strong examples to back my argument. What I found interesting is that the admin was so quick to jump at that conclusion.

If one were to look at the bigger picture, they aren’t really doing such. I think the problem came that the team she supports has been split up, the manager she reports to has lost some thunder and perceived authority. Basically the little group they carved out for themselves based on the buddy system is getting pulled apart, and they don’t like it.

Maybe now some of the charlatans will be exposed and the company might clean itself up from within. . . (ha ha who am I kidding?)

I do think that some of the fear is because some of the protective coating is getting removed from some people and perks and privileges will be removed as well. It will definitely be for the good.

As for the discrimination aspect,….. it’s life. We need to stop complaining about it, embrace it and just admit if you are a racist, bigot or just simply don’t like someone.

I prefer honesty to politically correctness any day.
