Title: Affirmative Action Story!
Post by: דוד בן זאב אריה on November 24, 2007, 09:24:57 PM
I am the victim of Affirmative Action. I work for a localy owned Chinese Restarunt. I have know the owners sice they opened (They are Chinese). He asked me if I would like to work for him I said yes. About 2 months later I was unemployed and he gave me a call. Naturaly I said yes; It's about a year later and I have only gotten one raise of 50 cents. I have been there the longest not counting the owner. Dozens of Asians get hired and quit. They all have gotten more responcibility and I think more money then me. Also they all get more hours then. What are my rights?? I am thinking about suing once I get another job. I am currently looking for anther job but it's not easy.

Do they at least allow you to eat for free?

Do you like the restaurant business? Maybe you can save up and buy your own...

In any case, I think you should be dwelling on what YOU can do to improve your situation instead of focusing on how they are screwing you.
