        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor I've been so busy at work, due to being short-staffed that I haven't had time for my blog. BUT,  after seeing a picture of Governor Jan Brewer wagging her finger in the President's face, I had to squeeze in time. This white woman would never have treated a white president that way. But, it plays to her conservative and tea party base and she's trying to sell books. She was supposed to be at the airport welcoming him, but chose to go for a photo-op by getting in his face and arguing with him in front of TV cameras.It was the most disrespectful treatment I've ever seen from an elected official to a sitting president.  If you are offended, do something. Call her office and demand she apologize to President Obama!!!! Her number is 602-542-4331.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Vindication for a Friend!]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor A few weeks ago, I mentioned that a friend was falsely being accused of workplace abuses. Well, justice prevailed and she completely vindicated. As a matter of fact, the invesigators stated the entire thing was "ridiculous" and "trivial" after meeting with the accusers and hearing their grievances. What makes me happier is that the entire office is banding together in support and are only speaking to those making false complaints when it's work-related. They are on their own. It has been unspoken that people are treating them like lepers, but everyone was aware they were lying because they bragged about it and people have eyes and ears. the thinking is that people like that will go after anyone and no one trusts them. Now, one is saying the whole thing was a misunderstanding and can't everyone move on, but her false accusations could have cost someone their job. That is misunderstanding. One accuser confessed that she was making false allegations because my friend "needed to be humbled]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor When it comes to dealing with abuse at work, remember that you simply can't trust ANYONE! Nobody wants to be dragged into someone's mess at work. Not even drama queens. Self-reliance will be key. You have to be a rock. You have to be your own champion. Expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to people's character. Better to be disappointed in someone's shortcomings than to be caught blind because you weren't prepared that you might be left to fend for yourself.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor I always follow presidential politics because it just fascinates me regarding what people will say and do to gain power. I've been called all sorts of names by friends and acquaintances for following something that they didn't think mattered to Black folks. It's like some people don't get that who is in office has everything to do with the quality of life that they are able to lead. And, that ties in 100% with the workplace and employment. The president and congress have direct input on supreme court judge appointments (deciding class action lawsuits, health care issues, how businesses treat workers, etc.), decisions that impact how business is done, including workers rights, the length or extension of unemployment benefits, payroll tax cuts, etc. GOP presidential hopeful, Newt Gingrich, called President Obama the finest food stamp president in history.  We ere still in a recession. People of all races are needing assistance. Children are hungry. Families are struggling. And, the GOP f]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor If you're fighting harassment, retaliation or discrimination at work, you have to figure out what your end game is. What are you trying to achieve with this battle you'll be engaging in? Is it just to save your job? To restore a falsely tarnished reputation? To have a member of management held accountable through training, suspension, termination or issuing an apology? You have to know you're ending in order to write a successful story. It holds true at work, as well.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Quick Tip: Form Alliances]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor If someone is abusing you at work, you may want to consider forming alliances with their enemies to bring them down. Figure out who they've been attacking, in addtion to you, and try to determine if what you're hearing is real and credible. Analyze the enemies for ayone who seems reasonable and level-headed. Then, befriend them as much as possible. Don't announce an agenda, just build a positive relationship and see what starts to come up in conversation. Maybe, you take the first step in sharing a bit of information and see if they open up. There i strength in numbers. Someone might be afraid to speak up alone, but might be more vocal with at least one other person on board. Both of you can lean on each other against a common enemy, which might make your abuser stop and pause. Don't be introverted. Seek out alliances and friendships, when under attack.]]></description>

Just because you may have a reputation for being no-nonsense, it doesn't mean you have to perform to that when dealing with management. Too many of us get caught up in "keeping it 100."

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor I work with a 30 year-old African-American female who's in bad standing with management. Part of it is her doing and part is management now trying to get rid of a nuisance. I gave this woman an opportunity to work in a highly visible role to try to help us drive in some business. I put her on my team because she had the skills to do well and it would be a great way to get her to rehabilitate her image. What did she do with this opportunity?She started the event by announcing to a member of management that she couldn't give 100% because she'd been drinking all night. #1: they could send her for a drug/alcohol test. #2: they could have sent her home without pay. #3: she could have faced other disciplinary action for saying she was at work possibly still inebriated.She didn't fail me. She failed herself and her son.You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink.Has someone given you an opportunity? What did you do with it?]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[False Allegations]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor As long as you make allegations of mistreatment at work that you truly believe and think that actions and evidence support your allegations, you are making your complaint in good faith and there shouldn't be a penalty or any consequences for your allegations.However, if you knowingly make false allegations of work place abuses you are opening yourself up for a potenaial world of harm. Making intentionally false allegations can open you up to employment actions..and rightfully so. We can't afford to protect those who make it harder for all of us, who are fighting for our employment lives. And, we can't have investigations into false allegations taking time away from investigating and resolving real issues. We fight every day for truth and justice. Not bullsh%t!!!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor As we approach the approach the holidays it seems fitting to give my yearly advice....stay true to who you are. Dealing with abuse often brings mental anguish, physical problems (e.g. headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, etc.), and even spiritual questions, such as why would God put me through this challenge?Your attacker(s) need you off-balance to bring you down and wear you out. It's a psychological game being played in order to get advantage. You have to stay strong and not let them change you. Write in a journal to get your emotions out. Exercise to relieve stress. Read. Go out to dinner or a movie. Don't obssess 24/7 for your own mental and physical well-being.Smile. Laugh. Love.You can fight back and fight to stay a healthy and whole individual.God bless!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor There's a stereotype that Black people behave like crabs in a barrel, trying to pull each other down. That came to mind, when a good friend told me about how the Black and Hispanic workers in her office made false alegtions about her and the Hispanic man, who run the facility.She'd been complaining to me for months about the poor work ethic and bad attitudes of many of the staff and that, despite coaching and counseling, the behavior and lack of accountability persisted. These workers turned around and called in the union to make claims of feeling physically threatened and of unfair demands on how much work should be done.What's funny is the actual workers in the group, who've been picking up their slack, have already come out in defense of the bosses and in condemning those making complaints that are unfounded. The stories of the complainants have started falling apart under union questioning. The baselessness is becoming clear.I always say, "Just do your job and go home." Why people]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor If you report workplace abuse to any authority figure at work, they are obligated to report it. Even if you mention discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation (you don't have to use those actual names) to an authority figure in another department or unit, they are still required to report your complaint to higher-ups. It doesn't matter if you ask the person to keep what you've said a secret for fear of retaliation. They can't keep workplace abuse allegations private. They are in authority and are paid a higher salary to do the right thing and deal with sensitive issues. They don't get to pick and choose, when they're in charge.If someone goes to an authority figure, it's a cry for help. Reporting it is step one because doing otherwise is the first part of covering up wrongdoing. You shouldn't ignore signs a person might commit suicide and you shouldn't ignore signs that someone at work is being mistreated or abused and someone else might be breaking the law.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor Anytime you face issues at work, you have to stop yourself from running off at the mouth. Coworkers stand to gain a lot from revealing what you've said and even if they're not in it to get an under-handed promotion, they still might reveal your plans and cost you your job.An employer might have decided they screwed with you enough and will dial things back a bit because they feel in control of the situation and in control of you. But, finding out you're planning to find a lawyer or to file an external complaint may push their hand towards termination.It doesn't mean you can't continue with a complaint and may end up proving your point about mistreatment, but it sure doesn't keep the checks coming in!Don't let someone force your hand and force you out of work. Employers are capable enough at that game without outside--or inside--interference.]]></description>

Yeah, it's still a tough economy and the job market is competitive, but folks are still hiring. I know a few people who've gotten jobs--management jobs--in the last couple of weeks.Take a look at your resume and make sure it's up-to-date and captures your skills and accomplishments. Show it to a friend and get feedback. Keep it simple--don't send out 4 pagers. Edit! Tailor your cover letter to the company you're applying to and follow-up. If you get an interview, be on time. Ask questions. Know facts about the company and postion you're applying for. Be positive and smile, but don't be phony.If you have a talent, start making a plan on how you can make a profit and, eventually work for yourself!!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor If you know you've been performing below standards but management doesn't have enough to fire you, why would you engage in behavior that dances on the fine line between remaining employed--in a bad economy-and getting fired?A Black coworker did just that and is now crying to get her job back and has to argue wrongful termination. But, all she had to do is come to work and do her job and go home. What she did was butt into another coworker's busness and pull a "prank" on another coworker. They'd been arguing and she took sides. That prank was all the bosses needed to show her the door.Yes, they exaggerated the situation and they know it. But, she touched company property and that sounds egregious and reads that way on paper. Plus, she's been denied unemployment!!!Was it worth it? No! But, some of us can't help falling into traps or making our own. Please remain focused, if you know you are a target and worry about yourself.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor If you haven’t learned this lesson already, learn it fast. EVERY TIME you inform a White coworker or manager (or anyone else for that matter) that there is a fundamental problem with an assignment or project, document what your misgivings are, who you reported any potential problems to/what your specific concerns are, and what that person’s response was. Do this without exception! It does not matter whether or not you have raised concerns about your personal work or a group assignment. You need to get in the habit of documenting issues that may potentially be blamed on you or a group of staff, at a later time.Point blank…many managers and coworkers WILL NOT take full responsibility for the work being done by their staff or within their unit—when things go wrong!

        <title><![CDATA[The Zoo Syndrome]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor QUESTION: What happens when a Black employee shuts their office door for a prolonged period of time?ANSWER: Some White staff will begin to openly wonder what the Black employee is doing behind that closed door. And, unfortunately, many White staff will also begin to offer up unsolicited comments about what they think is happening. So, you’ll hear everything from “I’ll bet she’s on a personal phone call” to “She’s probably shopping on the Internet” to “She’s just goofing off.”I call it the “The Zoo Syndrome.” White employees, who have The Zoo Syndrome, like to be able to walk by a Black person’s office or cubicle and have the ability to inspect what’s going on inside. It’s just like going to the zoo to see what the animals are doing inside the different exhibits.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Factor Federal Agency Charged Black Female Employees Were Segregated in Job AssignmentsCHICAGO – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a class race discrimination lawsuit in federal district court here on July 14th against Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center. The EEOC charged that the hospital, on Chicago’s South Side, subjected a class of black female employees to different terms and conditions of employment and segregation in job assignments because of their race. The suit also alleged that at least one of the women was demoted in retaliation for opposing and complaining about unlawful employment practices.John Rowe, the director of the EEOC’s Chicago District, said the agency’s administrative investigation revealed that numerous black female medical technicians at Jackson Park appear to have been required to perform assignments that their male counterparts who were not black were allegedly not required to perform.Race discrimination and retaliation for]]></description>
