It’s been exactly one and a half years for me at my first job. Over the course of that time, I saw a lot of things that should have been on my blog a long time ago. But, like how they say… “Better Late Than Never”.
Workplace Discrimination is such a big word. However, I’m fairly certain that there is no straight definition to it. I’ll leave that to that. These days majority of organizations treat their employees equal. There are no “Bosses”, there are no “Sirs” and there are no “Ma’ams”. But there are those certain few who wish to be superior than others... and this is where Workplace Discrimination starts.
Newcomers do get pushed around a lot. This is mostly done not by the “Big big guys” but rather from the “Middle big guys”. Am I speaking from experience? Maybe, maybe not.
Employees at some point may have met elsewhere before…. may it be at school, institute or university As academic as they may be, that life is a personal life. One of the problems creating Workplace Discrimination is mixing up this personal life with the work life. This put in danger both the people associated and project itself.
I’m a QA Engineer. And yes, we do get less of a salary than the developers and have less of a technical knowledge than the developers. But this doesn’t say by any means that the developers can take QA people for granted. Same principle applies to any two (or more) positions such as this. A job is a job no matter what it is.
There is much more to say but I’ll stop now. You can agree with me on the points or not… it’s up to you. But remember one thing everybody… “Respect; you have to earn it!”
