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.”

workplace mutism

When highly creative, intelligent people are entirely mute during staff meetings in a toxic and retaliatory workplace.

Workplace mutism is a great solution to staying off the boss’s radar if you’re fine being gutless and nutless.

workplace trash sifters

Those folks you notice who always stay late who are doing so in order to be able to privately examine the contents of colleagues’ trashcans to gather intel.

Those creepy workplace trash sifters sometimes strike stark terror into me to the point where I can’t sleep!

workplace mole

An unethical person, usually with zero self-respect or identity, who is willing to spy on colleagues in the workplace for the pathetic emotional goodies provided from administrative puppet masters.

Of course he is a vile workplace mole, why do you think they moved him into our department?

workplace apparitions

A phenomenon that occurs more and more frequently the longer you remain at the same worksite, an artifact of your cohorts retiring or dying.

This has been a very heavy week for workplace apparitions.

workplace shift-shifter

An employee who is a master at flexing days and shifts to the point that nobody working with them really knows when the person is going to be at work.

I can’t possibly tell you when that workplace shift-shifter will be back into work!
