Work discrimination....

...From across the pond...

Disabled employees experience discrimination and prejudice at work as one in 10 pay for workplace ad

Have I experienced prejudice or discrimination in the work place? Interesting question...

I don't really know.

Early in my career with the state, I typed case notes. A caseworker insisted that I misspelled the word "inconsistent". I use to be a copy editor. The word was not misspelled. I wanted to copy the dictionary entry for the word...but I didn't. Was the caseworker prejudice against me? I don't know.

I have been overlooked for a couple promotions. Sometimes I feel that if I were not disabled that I would have gotten more of the promotions I have gone for over the years. The job I have now I applied for three years before I got it. I had one person up against me. I had more of the technical skills needed for the job; she got it because she was more social. I figured if I did not have the speech difficulty I have that I would have gotten the job.

I try to let stuff roll off as quick as I can. You only hurt yourself hanging onto stuff.

Bad stuff happens....good stuff happens...you roll on.
