I work at tier 2 company wherein we have crazy workload often. I am in Team A while we support Team B in the operations. Last week I wrote an email detailing how to perform certain steps while highlighting the key points, in few minutes one the Asian lady from team B, not Indian, sent me a ping on company chat saying why are you screaming? I justified and explained and had get on conference call to explain what I mean. In no way my email was pointed at anybody or any team but general system steps. Initially I brushed it off. We also have a white guy in our team who wrote a nasty email highlighting training issue in team B directed towards the same Asian lady and her other team members and no action was taken. I took the screenshot of chat for reference incase there was any further issue. Is this discrimination?
I know you are messed up when you started labeling people.
Not true
Wtf, this is a classic situation for your future interview behavioral questions. Deal with it. Sometimes we never have such situations and have to invent some story for interviews. Life gave you a nice lemon, make a lemonade or tart.
Dude, just let it go. Seriously.
That’s what I expected.. how dare a nonwhite guy raise his voice! Thank you all.
It's not about suppressing someone, it's just not worth the trouble. Not even close to getting HR and legal involved.
It could be, but it’s unprovable with this single instance. It needs to be blatant and unmistakable or a long series of these type of things to be actionable. You may need other witnesses as well. I talked to a lawyer recently about this kind of thing with a friend regarding her work situation.
Why have this do with race ? Can someone enlighten me ?
Same. I'm lost.
I don’t believe anyone is attempting to suppress your voice here. The message is this: don’t make unnecessary assumptions and don’t feed the boogeyman in the closet.
So you’ve identified a defensive and reactionary employee. If they don’t impact your work or your review then you ignore them. There’s nothing to fix unless you are responsible for them or their work. If left alone this person might simply drown in their own paranoia.
You are playing with fire
How? Is it because I am Not white..
Because other party is not and female
