Bias in the workplace... ever seen any?

i hated working every single holiday for my last boss... and the same people kept having relatives die off or whatever so they wouldn't have to go... the thing i hate THE MOST is the girls who got knocked up so they need holidays off to be with their kids... like its my fault they're too stupid to get on the pill or use a condom I mean wtf? and the managers always fell for it... felt like starting a new job with a pretend family i could kill off at will or sick child i needed to be with whenever i wanted time off... I'll never forget what my friend JP said... no matter where you are you'll always find yourself being the hardest working person there ... fuggin blows just because I have an amazing work ethic

As i fall into the overweight category, i've not had problems with women in the workplace. More often then not, they seem eager to have me as a friend. So, sexual harrasment hasn't been an issue in any job i've had. I have been passed up for promotions and pay increases though, several times. On one occasion i was actually told that it was becuase i was the only White person in the department. The reasoning being that as i was white, and spoke english, any promotion or pay increase would cause some sort of strife amongst my coworkers. Bringing about accusations of racial discrimination towards the management. I had been working there for alittle over a year at that point, and decided that this occurance was enough to make me quit out of principle. As I generally look for something requiring physical activity, just about anything outside of an office, i've been passed up for jobs in favor of imigrants and minorities. I'd like to make it known that i have nothing against either. And being passed up for employment didn't anger me as much as it might others. It has generally led to me finding better contract positions with a higher pay rate, and better hours. I'm not sure if these quilify for the biased aspect of this topic. Or even if they're all that legitimate in ways of discrimination in the workplace. Just putting in my two cents worth.

I was once demoted at my job in Canada because one of my coworkers alleged that I got all the good shifts because I was um... more comely than she was and that it wasn't fair to other employees who worked there for years... my boss told me exactly what the other employees said about me and told me he'd try to keep them at bay because frankly i'm more fun than they were (I was the youngest person who worked at the bar/resort everyone had a good 5-10 years on me) and eventually when the others didn't get what they wanted ie more hours... they started showing up late or not showing up at all and eventually my boss had to demote me by giving me other jobs to do around the resort and bar so everyone had 'equal time' bartending. That was some kind of bull****.

Though alot of the girls were good bartenders, they dont have to be. That was some kind of bull****. Not if you were on the other side of it. If a girl with massive exposed boobs got all your shifts you would complain.
