Huh

So I'm doing the Diversity Matters e-course for work, since things are a bit quiet all 'round. There's a section on what they call "micro-inequities" and it provides examples of what those are:


• Constantly being interrupted while you are talking

• Being left out of a discussion or having your ideas cut down when you do have an opportunity to participate

• Having to wait without explanation while someone is on their cell phone

• Being offered assistance or accommodation based on assumptions about your ability

• Not being introduced in a meeting and then being ignored

• Having someone roll their eyes or avoid eye contact

• Being treated with fake, masked, or forced smiles

• Dismissing the idea of one employee only to accept it when suggested by another employee


The bolded ones? Huge personal issues of mine - I hate being talked over so much. Glad to see it's not a completely irrational reaction.

Another micro-inequity is being told your complaints are invalid and your reactions are irrational when you're being treated as less-than.

Sound like every fucking day working for my boss.

Although it always helps when you see something like this. It's like a reality reset. "Right, I'm fine, I'm sane - the situation is fucked".
