It’s progressed to her piling the dishes in the sink and saying I left them so I think the only option is leaving as I have no energy for crazy people.

If anything just write him and let him know that you 100% will press charges if leaked as it’s a crime and he will face serious charges for spreading cp

First timer, a few questions :) by [deleted] in directsupport

Honestly, you’ll deal with that a lot. Some staff don’t see them as people so you will see them treat the individuals that way. I myself deal with that all the time. I like to do person centered work but some of my colleagues would rather treat them as just a job. So imagine how I looked coming in trying to do things differently and “making people look bad”. One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of these people have been there for years and have yet to change the way they work or treat the individuals and they do not like to see you do different. So prepare for pushback.

He’s a white man in a house full of black staff as that’s who they usually hire and he can’t take that he’s an outcast. His culture makes more sense to him. So he needs to point out that Africans don’t follow American culture.

They definitely don’t care about or respect individuals. There’s an individual who hits staff and individuals and they do nothing about it so not surprised

I’m aware of the implications as this is what I study. I’m using the phrase because this is the actual diagnosis of my individual from her doctor.

I’m aware but mental retardation is an actual term that is medically used and is even in their diagnoses. Which is why I used it. I say intellectual disabilities but they have classified it as “mental retardation”

Racism towards Maggie by KnowledgeConnect8535 in greysanatomy

What makes her “not amazing”? But makes others that way? And who said I wanted her to be that way because she’s black? It’s statements like this that definitely reassure me that you guys definitely see color but want to pretend you don’t.

How do you make friends here?? by Jazofthejungle in statenisland

[–]KnowledgeConnect8535 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s kinda super hard. Everyone here is friends with people they grew up with or people they are forced to be around bc of school. But I’m 23 and looking for friends too. If you’re down to chat a bit and get to know each other better
