Nope. I would guess that it's just your location. Are you willing to give any examples?
Not without possibly giving away the location, it's quite numerous and certainly intentional. Let's just say I've never seen anybody but a SWM ordered to grab a broom and sweep up a mess left by another employee, but that doesn't even scratch the surface....
It’s not discrimination against white men to promote equally qualified minorities. In the history of Target there have been far more straight white men in leadership roles than any other demographic.
So she picked on you because you were normal and had good kids? And you know this was the reason? How? Did she twirl her mustache and say "Damn you and your normalcy and your happy marriage and successful kids!"?
First sentence isn't quite true. Sexual orientation, race and gender are protected classes. It's just that straight white males have rarely needed the benefit of those protections and rarely experience that sort of discrimination, compared to literally everyone else. Second part is so painfully true.
I have an entire file drawer of incidents over the years... I learned some things in journalism school.
Why did you wait so long. You have only 6 months to file with eeoc from the date of the event.
I usually ask for someone with strength and/or more height than I have to help with lifts, etc. Inevitably it is the women who respond, but at our store it is typically the women who respond to walkie requests so this doesn't surprise me. I don't think anyone asks for guys specifically... it's usually asking for a team member to help.
At my store we have (I'm being tactless) an "old lady" who likes getting the carts from the parking lot. We have another woman, short and with some back and hip issues, who has been the one in the trailer during the unload.
Men are physically larger stronger than women. It’s not sexist to ask them to carry a 100 pound tv stand to a guests car over a woman.
