Memes of Production

Management there enabled the culture of agism, sexism and racism by not addressing the issues. They have a history of this that can be traced to the human rights tribunal in this country. Multiple times. He was the top person in the company. If no one below him is listening, where was I to go to make my complaint? If he cared so much about family, it would not have gotten to that point.

I asked to address the work culture in the company. I didn't just focus on agism, I made sure to speak up about racism, sexism and the unfair treatment of all the contractors working there.

The corporate HR person I was working with saw I was motivated to change the culture and had no interest in money or retribution. She not only supported me but was encouraging me to join an employee representative position that helped employees at a corporate level rather than at a company level. It has a name which I forgot.

I would have taken that position with the intention to be as annoying as possible or make an even bigger statement later. I was going to get fired but I wasn't going to quit and give them the satisfaction of me chickening out first.

I stand by my actions and motivations.

Also, the young people failing was a reflection of the older generation's failure to adequately train them. I've noticed this a lot with boomers. They're so addicted to their feelings of superiority that they'll sabotage people's progress just so they can continue looking down on them. That phenomenon is at the core of many socioeconomic and political problems today.

I agree with all of that because I experienced it first hand. I was often shunned because I never listened to their outdated or blindly ignorant advice and bullied for trying to take the initiative to learn for myself. It took me a while afterwards to understand that being me and doing what I thought was right for myself made them feel threatened enough to lash out at me.
