[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 305175, member: 7666"] You know sometimes people just don't get along with one another, but at UPS we have to be mindful of our actions and language. I once had a situation where my Supervisor of Color (black) got into a confrontation with a White Supervisor and used the forbidden N-word toward the White Supervisor. Guess who got in trouble? My black supervisor for using inappropiate language at the work place. Now this was new for me, to discipline a black supervisor for using the N-word at work. I was somewhat naive to the fact that the N-word was acceptable in the black community. And we also had a lenghthy conversation on professionalism. Neither of these two stellar supervisors work at UPS. One quit and the other got fired, as it was just a matter of time for both of them. So if you are continually called "boy" at work and you find it offensive, you owe to yourself, co workers and UPS management to let them know of your issue. If other employees of another race are called "boy" as well, then it may just be a matter of sitting the supervisor down and addressing professionalism at UPS. [/QUOTE]
