[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 303404, member: 5938"] I can't see where blacknproud pulled the race card at all. Seems to me it was pulled from the deck by someone else and shoved in his face. I also don't feel his username has anything to do with this. blacknproud - you should have witnesses to this prior to calling the hotliine. You must also be completely clean of any unprofessional actions on your part. Documentation is key. Approach anyone who has heard the comments and ask them if they remember hearing anything. If not, keep your cool and wait for an opportunity for an overheariing witness. If this bum is slamming you he'll make a mistake one day soon and do so in front of someone. If you know darned well they heard it but won't back you up, document that too. Above all else, do your job best you can, refrain from playing any type of games and control, control yourself to the max. I called the hotliine once and got wonderful results. Bully supervisor disappeared from the company and I can't say that it resulted in much of a bullseye on my back. I had assistance from the union rep who patiently listened to my angry ragings so I wouldn't take emotion into the meetings with management. If you don't trust your rep, take your emotion to someone you trust and let it out there. Then you'll be calm at any meetings. Take any mistreatment episodes to your managment team in a controlled manner and document what they say and do. Keep union rep by your side. Bide your time here if you really want to nail the creep. The hotline is made up of impartial people who simply take information. Doesn't seem they care one way or the other what's going on, they just want the facts. So have your ducks in a row and don't expect any support from them. It's not their job. But do be prepared for all hell to break loose the next day when the higher-ups start calling your center. It will happen. btw, calling a black man "boy" is indeed racist. There is too strong a history of that term to ignore it. Black ice is black ice and is not associated with disrespect to any race. Why, oh why can't UPS use common sense? [/QUOTE]
