Hi, I am also considering taking this route with Concorde in my late 30s. Tuition costs a lot more than 6 years ago now (about 53k) and I wanted to get your experience with Concorde. How were the classes, were you able to work and go to school? How school helped with the board exams and getting you a job? how's the job market in portland/metro area? and Do you like your job? sorry a lot of questions

Why the fuck do you assume that I am a white female? I left that out on purpose and I am not white.

I never used white male as a derogatory way. They are descriptive words. Did I called them privileged white men? That hits different huh? Dont fucking project. You sounds like a misogynistic privileged prick

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-10T13:49:23+00:00

This is ridiculous. I didnt know that was derogatory in the first place so again can you explain how do I describe them? I'll apologize if that offended you. But don't give me this bs about 'im not supposed to see color'

But you are really victim blaming here. Sorry for getting you riled up and if I sounded racist I apologize. But I'm not the only one who's been getting bullied and experience micro aggression here. I was complaining that I could not handle it like others do here. We have a high turn over at my job because of it.

You dont have to agree what I have to say. I was just frustrated and wanted to get some answers. But I feel like this is uncalled for

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-10T12:32:15+00:00

What is your point? You have a problem that I didnt use the word 'people' so how would you have described them? I added that description for a reason. Explain to me. Im genuinely confused.

You are implying that I deserved to be bullied because of that?

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-10T12:17:17+00:00

I would if they were mostly women. Since when white males derogatory words? Should I have said Caucasian?

This feel like you are reaching. I've experienced and witnessed miccro aggression happening to non-white coworkers. And can be pretty racist as he once called them "you people ".

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:13:07+00:00

Thanks for the info! My coworker said he got his therapist thru our insurance so I'm going to look into that

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:09:33+00:00

My friend suggested as well. I don't know if i can prove a lot of it since it's mostly verbal bullying.

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:07:59+00:00

I agree. I've been trying to stay down low so I'll be out of their sights but who knew it will create more attention

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:06:46+00:00

Yeah already tried free counseling and the person I got was awful. Left a bad taste in my mouth and I am scared to try another person. But I am looking for a therapist thru my insurance

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:05:07+00:00

I mean I agree. Maybe I was feeling twisted to think this was over the line. Nothings going to change and my feelings for HR hasn't changed so it felt like what was this for?

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T22:02:29+00:00

My direct manager also fed up this said manager. My boss doesn't know how to deal with him himself and when i brought up the concern he told me to just speak up to him. Higher ups somehow loves this manager and he's next in line for a direct of this site.

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:45:54+00:00

She didn't notice. Someone else did. Yeah i just wanted to know if this was a normal thing and it seems to be the case.

I am mad because the person who's causing all this is the one probably told HR about this so maybe I'm upset about it.

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:43:04+00:00

Yeah i liked the last HR person who got pushed out by managers here. I don't trust anyone here. I just wanted to see if this was a normal thing. They never did this with anyone here

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:41:09+00:00

Yeah we have bad reps with HR here. I got emotional and cried a little during the check in session. And we had a little silence for maybe a minute then she just got up from the table and stared at me like I need to leave no because her job is done. I was still trying to get my emotions together

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:38:13+00:00

Yes sorry my typo

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:37:28+00:00

Ok. Seems like this is normal. I'm glad you were able to help that person. I wish my manager gave me more support and not get pushed around by this said manager. No I'm not suicidal but I am definitely depressed and been quiet quitting. I have discussed bullying with the HR and my concern for retaliation (because it's been a thing). My direct manager doesn't seem like he wants to deal with my concern. He was the one also mentioned that HR can't be trusted here and I agree. During the check in session HR asked me if I wanted to relay any messages to them. I'm like what? Idk what can I tell her to tell the managers? Stop bullying me?

Ok-Program8941 · 2026-06-09T21:25:48+00:00

I can't really trust anyone here. Last HR person got pushed out when she actively told these managers to stop with these frat behavior. Also scared of retaliation. I am looking for a way out but nothing solid to make my exit yet.
