Hello, Hana!
That’s such a good and positive attitude to have. You are right, I am not going to give them the satisfaction! I actually do not want to continue working here but so far haven’t had any luck in finding a new job, so better a bad job than no job at all, I suppose. I am tolerating my situation, just like you.
Some example of the discrimination bullsh*t I face daily: I have this colleague – let’s call her A. The bosses listen to her. I’ve ‘tested’ my bosses on occasions, I’d say something to them and back it up with sound reasoning etc and I could see their eyes were glazing over, then I’d say ‘A thinks so, too’ and they’d immediately decide to go in that direction.
Sure, I can do this to make my life easier but the thing is, by doing this, I am perpetuating my bosses’ bad behavior and my career will never advance because I will always have to play second fiddle to people like A, even though I am just as qualified as her.
