Discrimination part ???

Who can keep track?  Here is the latest incident experienced by Skip.  Evidently Home Depot still doesn't care if one of their employees is called a faggot.   I would have love to have seen the outrage if the N word was thrown around.

Skip's words...

"A fellow associate asked me to help a older male customer with window tint in the decor department. I walked over to the customer to tell him with tint was the one with the mirror side. I started to speak and said "This is the one..." I was cut off by the customer very loudly stated " Don't come over here with your attitude you flaming faggot... You sissy boys are going to show me the respect I deserve." I was blind-sided I just turned away and said I was done and walked away. I went down the aisle where a policewoman that I had spoke to earlier and she asked me what happened. I told her. She asked me if I wanted her to say something to him. I told her no thanks. She said she would not have  been able to keep her mouth shut she would have had to say something. I went over and told my supervisor what had happened and he said I am glad you didn't say anything back. (I knew he felt it was no big deal really) I also told him I would not help the customer and he went over to help him. I was back in the aisle with the policewoman and the customer walked down the aisle and from where he was he could not see her.  He started to snicker at me and she stepped out and said what did you say.  He said "nothing". she said I thought so. She was leaving too and I told her to have a nice day and she said "see ya later sweetie,  smooches!" We laughed and she went on her way.

For My Company Directory


Work asked us to post a picture for the company profile. So I showered and shaved and here's mine. I desperately need a tan.

Childish

To protect his identity, his name is Flip.

Flip applied for a transfer within his company while moving from one state to another. Everything was handled via the computer, all work was done, he was ready to go.

Flip arrived at work this morning where he was told he had been reported missing by his former location as he didn't report for work last week during his scheduled vacation and they had no idea about his transfer.

This is also the store where an employee told Skip that if he (the employee) were dying that Flip was to keep his "faggot" lips off him. Would HR do anything? No.

Happy September!

What was that?

Yesterday was very stressful at work. Crashed server, environment needing rebuilt, 13 hour day, all that jazz. Well when I get tired and overworked I eat. I'm owning up to it, moving on and will have a much better day today.

Today I start a new assignment (while still being tied to the old one) that is close to here, it should be interesting!
