Re: Unfair Treatment Posted by: Bonita Baker on October 27, 19100 at 11:44:49: In Response to: Unfair Treatment posted by terpfan on July 19, 1999 at 09:17:58: : I was recently involved in a heated argument with an ex-staffer in my office, during which he became agressive, threatened me, to which I responded by setting him straight on some issues. I was in the process of making him aware of other issues that never were addressed prior to his termination (in response to his allegations of poor treatment by me), and I blocked his exit by standing in front of the door to my office. When he challenged me to "go outside and finish it", I responded by calling him a litte "piece of ----", and basically told him what I thought about him. He then left shortly afterward, no physical contacat made. As a result, I have been demoted, reprimanded, and made to feel as though I cannot lose my cool one ioata. This for a company for whom I have worked for 25 years, with no prior history of discipline. The kicker is, my replacement was of the same ethnic backround as the ex-staffer and the upper management person who made the decision to demote me. I need some honest feedback...was I totally out of line? Did I deserve such severe discipline? Am I a victim of reverse discrimination? Please help, if you can, I am at wit's end. I have a young child who came home to tell me that his teacher had embarrased him in the presence of his peers from our (the teacher and I) previous conversations in a parent teacher conference. This is so unprofessional of this teacher. He said to his afterscholl mentor that the teacher makes him feel like an ugly duckling. She continues to tell him that she doesn't care how much his mother speaks to her9 mind you I believe in keeping communication lines open with my child's teacher and the school. I personall feel that my child needs more to be academically challenged. He is very opinated, however respectful to adults. He's open and innocently honest and speaks what's on his mind if and when given the opportunity. I eill be speaking to this teachet again on today. If you have some suggestions for me ...
