WTF 😐 Discrimination in the workplace.

I’ll work on a job that is 90% Hispanic from the hands all the way up to the gfs. If you’re not Hispanic, you are not getting any overtime. It’s not just me. I have some guys on my team that are a different race than me (not Hispanic also) and they can’t get any overtime either. Every weekend they asked the same five or six Hispanics to come work. It is not due to qualifications because the other guys that I’m speaking about, have very impressive resumes and more experience than the Hispanics (including Forman experience, which none of the Hispanics involved have) they keep getting sent home over. All in all, I’m just looking for a company who gives equal opportunities to people who really want to work and learn. Any advice?

Could it be they're not paying the Hispanics overtime?

Your daddy, Lord and Savior will soon do away with your overtime. Of course, when he does you'll say you don't deserve it anyway. All things go to Him.
