i know all of this stemming from the removal of a tiny little flag logo on my name badge seems silly but that was literally all the representation i had
and their reason for doing it seems arbitrary at best, like only having it for the trainees
being a blackfella doesn't stop when you graduate from your traineeship
-
@MxCraven pretty much
once we're not longer government funded, they literally could not care less
the trainee program supposedly exists to get us aboriginal people trained up and moving through the ranks until we eventually "run the place"
except most leave after a year (or even after they graduate) because it's actually kinda shit here (or they realize that the only way to actually get these higher up positions is to have prior experience elsewhere or be a family member of someone high up)
-
@MxCraven much like most companies run by white people, you'll never actually progress through the ranks to become an executive or ceo or anything even remotely major because that would mean letting you into the exclusive white director club (which is an obvious no-no for them)
-
@tempo This isn't a race thing, but just a general business thing, but fuck companies that value external experience over internal. That just means they know if you've worked your way up you'll have things you want to change, where if you start up you'll not know the bad bits and won't change the status quo...
-
@MxCraven You must be white.
-
@carl I am indeed, which is why I only made a point entirely outside of the race issues in question here.
-
@MxCraven And entirely uncalled for.
-
@tempo Not sure how to respond to this but I can see that it sucks a lot and I hope you feel better soon bud

@tempo That seriously feels like "We train aboriginals, and then dump them/stop caring once they're regular employees"
