Lets say you have just obtained a new job, and you go to work everyday, on time, and do your best to keep up with daily production. After a couple months of you working, you start noticing a pattern. A certain individual never comes in to work on Friday, and usually doesn't come in on Monday either, on top of all that, said individual does this on a no call, no show, weekly basis. This certain individual cannot be touched because every time someone tries, a grievance is filed and the race card is pulled.

What are your opinions on this issue?

Go up to your boss and say you are upset/pissed with their shitty work ethic and its not fair that they get special treatment (no punishment) just because they are a minority. Thats all you can do

Does it directly effect me in any way? If not I wouldn't really care, there are so many lazy ass good for nothing people I've had to work with in the past that something like that would just be considered normal.

I've also complained about things like that before and no one ever seemed to give a shit.

Have words with the offending party, tell them they're letting the team down and forcing their workload upon others.

If things don't change, speak to the boss.

Always try interpersonal dialogue before running to the boss, it'll gain you more lasting respect in the long run.

Yes, it would affect you, in the fact that because of this person not showing up for work, it is making more work for you.
People care, they just cant do anything about it because of a grievance being filed for racial discrimination.

Also, this job was specifically designed for this individual, and no one can bid on the job. And the reason why this job was designed for said individual is because of (EEOC) Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

I should make it clear that I am not the person that this is affecting, (directly at least). On my side, I have to deal with the aftermath, and anyone who knows what a bitching female is like. Yea. :lol:

Ok so with my sensible suggestion out of the way, I'm gonna go with:

Kidnap them... and RIDE them!!!

My opinion? That person who can do what they want with impunity has it all figured out and is fucking you all in the ass. Sounds like the law has given this person a paying position for life, and one that doesn't ever need to be held accountable. There is nothing you or anyone can do about it. The best solution is to keep paying this person, but to tell them they don't need to come to work anymore. Hire someone by regular means to replace them. Eventually the indolent sack of shit will end up in prison with all that time and nothing to do. Then once in prison you can fire them with no repercussions at all.

And that's the reason most of our countries are fucked.

Governmental waste spending.

Nice try, but Mcdonalds doesn't have a union for one, and the job in question is part of the federal government.
Not meaning to be rude or a wise-ass but you should consider leaving this job and finding one that doesn't pay employees with stolen money.

Quit working at McDonalds.
so much disdain for anyone who works for Mcdonalds, i can only assume you're the junior fryer attendant at the Burger King, jealous of the success across the street at the Golden Arches.

maybe if you steal their operations manual, you can gain access to their secrets...

If what you say is true. His/her time/hours are be documented, so you should have a record of the unfairness. File a grievance yourself or find another job. Could you explain also how the race card is pulled

Once again, it's not myself that holds the position.

Yes, the record would show that there is a common occurrence, and that alone should lead to termination IMO. (And by law) "If a common occurrence leads to show that there is a pattern. Employee would be subject to termination."

The race card was pulled by said individual claiming "race discrimination" on their grievances. Claiming that the only reason why they are questioning this woman is because she is black. After different situations of this, management has given up trying to get rid of her.

This is what my fiancee is having to deal with at work. She had also asked if she would be able to take the other womans position if she "was" to be terminated. Management had told her (No) because the position was created for her under the EEoE after she filed a racial discrimination grievance.

This position is held by my fiancee, and it had taken her 5 months to even obtain it.

So what you are saying is; Quit her job "which makes her ineligible to draw unemployment" all while going in to debt for another 5 or more month trying to find another position that pays just as well?

I'm sorry, but that sounds like a very irresponsible thing to do. Anyone in their right mind would have another job lined up before quitting their current job.

story sounds strange. Tell your wife to file a grievance that reflects the unfairness. Please do tell what position was create under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission just for a female black woman
