Workplace Discrimination 

Workplace discrimination is based on the belief that some people are better at some types of work than others. This is not solely attributable to employers but can be present in members of the workforce as well. It can be based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, physical or mental disability, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Differences in earnings or the work carried out which come from differences in qualifications or responsibilities are not due to workplace discrimination. Workplace discrimination can be intended and involve unfair treatment of the people in a particular group or be unintended, yet still create unfavourable impact for that group.

While it may be due to ignorance, prejudice and stupidity this does not excuse it and it should be corrected. If it is deliberate and planned discrimination against a particular group it can be the sign of a toxic workplace so best find a new job, you may be next.

“I see the feminists are claiming workplace discrimination in favour of men in the fields of medicine and dentistry.”
“Funny how they never claim it in the field of sewer maintenance.”

working cape race 

Used to describe someone who is too preoccupied with the task at hand to notice potential obstacles and hazards.

Comes from the response of Jack Phillips, senior wireless officer on the RMS Titanic, to a message from Cyril Evans, wireless officer for the SS Californian, which was meant to notify him of ice dangers in the waters the Titanic was passing through. Phillips -- who was busy relaying a backlog of messages from the as-yet-intact Titanic's passengers through the wireless center at Cape Race, Newfoundland -- responded to the loud interruption with the phrase, "Shut up; I'm working Cape Race!" The Titanic struck and iceberg and sank

Sue: "Does John not realize he's working himself into a corner?"
James: "No, he's working cape race."

Workaholics 

A Comedy Central show that first aired in early April of 2011 and is absolutely hilarious. It follows three friends living and working together after college. Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm star in this scripted comedy where they spend their days selling time shares and their nights partying. Even though college ended, the fun hasn't.

Kevin: Dude it's Wednesday, guess what's on tonight. New episode of Workaholics!!
Devin: That show is so funny man, cannot wait.
