My state its legal to record someone. However I couldn't fathom doing that to someone as invading someone's privacy is way worse than being a subtle racist, at least in my mind.

I'm just looking for another job. I realized it's an overall mentality if its just an eyeroll and business as usual when its brought up. The last thing I want to do is subject myself to business meetings where I'm cringing at every step. Our first meeting he told me he conducts business based on dempgraph, not because it's right but because it works.




they are already invading other people's right to happiness in the workplace, as well as pretty much the spirit of america - the right to being treated as equals regardless of who you are. moreover, racism is a disease. you are doing this for them, as a wake up call. and privacy invasion? in this day in age, there is no such thing as privacy in the workplace - there are pretty much camera's everywhere anyways, or at least you should expect such whenever you are out in public.

and this does not sound like "subtle racism" in the slightest. there is no such thing as subtle racism anyways. you have a chance here to be a hero and deal with this situation - or you can let it slide and live with it for the rest of your life. i personally couldn't stand letting it slide, myself. just keep recordings of everything, and keep it civil - and if it escalates, somehow, and turns on you... you have the right on your side. if somehow even the company itself turns on you...see if the government gets on your side. if they can't do anything... turn to the press. :evil: i can... ehehehe... guarantee you that no company will like that... oh no... they will not like that at all. you might find yourself with some new opportunities then. or you could probably blackmail your old company to a better position to not go to the press with those recordings if they try to get rid of you for doing the right thing. :wink: no company wants to be seen as "that racist supporting company" in this day and age, even after Trump.

Like I mentioned, hes on a wire. My cameras have audio and none of them know how to use them. If I did report it with dates and times and had the statements from affected employees it could easily be dug up from the backup and played. It would take a collective effort and all of it's a nightmare.

I just touched up my resume and have been putting apps in. I drive pretty far and could he making way more. It's not the end of the world.

i mean, you're a supervisor. sometimes your job has to deal with thorny issues like this - protecting employees under you from serious issues, such as racism in the workplace. if you leave, you run the risk of your replacement ignoring the issue as well, and them being subjected to continued racism, with the new person being in a weaker position to address the issue.

it might not be the end of the world to you, but to those fellow employees? it just might.

Recently got put in charge of a large upscale hotel as the director of Operations Supervisor. Its been actually overall fun, but extremely challenging. My boss is a tried and true racist. Not like "Haha black people"...like "fuckin blacks"...  know both are unacceptable, but segregation and hate are dicey mix I can't deal with.

He has me do my orders for our marketplace based ondemographic. Today he told me not to order funyuns because only African americans eat them...he thinks black people steal luggage racks..that if they pay in cash they are crack dealers etc

These beliefs don't offend me. It's the actions he takes. Some of the people under me don't take lightly to the baby boomer mentality that this racist stuff is just ok. If I let it go on it could bite me in the ass. He's said several things to me about people of color that blow my mind he's made it this far...

I've addressed it to him and he still acts based on skin color.





Apart from the obvious aversion vs racism, its bad for the work environment and its bad for business, bcause if there's an incident your restaurant will henceforth be known as the KKK headquarters.

You have to do something about his unprofessionality. it's bad for business.

Someone just said its war against his boss?

I'm glad you guys dont treat drug addicts the same with your judgements

Btw, if you own the company, asante is correct it's bad for business fuck him

If he doesnt own the company my opinion is hear no evil see no evil speak no evil

I get it the dudes probably an insecure pussy, but some other statements in this thread are buggin

If vandago is in a supervisory roll and does nothing then, I believe, he could be liable.  Depends on where he lives because employment law varies by state and country.

I think this is the smart move.  This company sounds like it has a shitty culture.  This guy will eventually go down and I'm not sure I'd want to be there for the ensuing shit storm.  Be smart, cover your ass.  You can always report him after you have a new job which would help to alleviate any ethical dilemma you may be having.

I just haven't made a decision yet on the best decision. I don't need to "wire up" nor would I. That was, once again, all recorded by he company. The company does not know it was said multiple times, and the thought process is a determining factor in how the business is ran.

Even if funyons are "african american chips".... Last I checked, I'm supposed to let them eat as well.

Several things hes said:

" I stocked grape drink and watermelon at my old property because there was more african americans. They love that stuff. Here we don't have many so don't stock it"

As someone in a wheel chair missing his limbs controlling the chair with his chin with a dog on a leash walking beside it :

Boss: "wouldn't that suck?"

Me: "ya, I couldn't imagine being paralyzed"

Boss: "no being that dog And having to put u with a cripple like that all the time. That dogs life must suck. I feel like eugenics would be ethical in that situation. Those people serve no purpose."

Boss: "Hey ( to multiple ppl l Supervise ) vandago likes black girls"

Boss: "you like funyons? Those are african american chips! ( insert grape soda old property story again"

Luggage rack missing:

Boss: "I see a luggage racks is missing. I guarantee that's in a black person's room. Black people are known to steal luggage racks"

Me: " dude are you so racist you just made up a stereotype? No one has ever decided that people of color are notorious luggage rack thieves"

Boss: " trust me. At my old property, any time a luggage rack was missing, it was in a black person's room. Its true."

In your employee manual you probably have a duty to report, if shrugged off by GM go head of HR with all the complaints.  GM think they are untouchable, they don't understand the power of HR until it's hammer comes down on their head.

I had similar work place situation, guy had numerous complaints of misogyny and racism.  I was at a client meeting where he dropped a seriously misogynistic comment, thie fuckker didn't even know the company was 60% women, with a Woman CFO, CEO and chief science officer.  He thought it was a good old boys club because the guy they sent for the meeting was in his 50's... he didn't even notice the uncomfortable silence that followed his remark.  I went to LB Manager and was brushed off as that being "his style".  We are owned by a large conglomerate.  I went to HR and they had a meeting with him nothing changed.  I Emailed the COO of the conglomerate, as well as CC'd their HR department.

LONG story short I'm walking into the building, he's being walked out by security.  Out loud I drop a "bye Karen" obv not his name, all the POC (my office lab is about 68% POC just started laughing so fucking hard.)  They had tried to get  him fired/moved so many times and failed.  About 5 weeks later I got a handwritten letter from the COO, signed by the President and CEO as well thanking me for alerting him to the situation.  Apparently the client was going to invoke a culture clause in the contract and cancel the contract, The COO told them the guy had been fired and the training we would undergo. Also all further client meetings would involve me as I had been the whistle blower.  I got a check for 5k (saved a 2.5M/yr contract) and promotion and a raise.


TL;DR  Get that that shit heal fired.  Otherwise your ass will be on the copping block, also very good things may come of you being proactive.  Excluding potential clientele is just bad business.  If you're not seeing any changes, go higher up the ladder, guarantee somebody up top cares enough to squash a bad middle manager.

Our buy out is 100% in effect as of the 1st. They've decided to keep us all and continue to grow instead of clean house. Everyone who's heard him has agreed he shouldn't be in charge of us when that's his way of operating. And yes, it is my duty as a supervisor to go about it in the most professional way possible.
