Till I looked at the boss and told him. "I may LOOK white, but I am not and I will not tolerate that sort of speech around me."<BR/> Boss replied " I don't see what one person can do, so you'll just have to deal with."<BR/> I replied back: " I may not be able to but I assure you that the EEOC takes a dim view of such things, you know that whole pesky "Hostile work environment" thing and all." <BR/> Co worker was shut up inside 15 minutes and quit soon after. <BR/> Setting someone on notice that you are not what they think, that you don't tolerate what they are spouting, ect works well. If this person persists in making these comments, Tell them that the Folks at Equal Housing and such will take a dim view of them making life difficult for the neighbors.andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193493687484232494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-27972860146737784412008-04-09T13:42:00.000-05:002008-04-09T13:42:00.000-05:00Why didn't you say anything?

But you've written about this neighbor a lot.<BR/><BR/>MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
