All our efforts would be meaningless when we have a bad manager. In the past, I have had some bad boss experience. My first boss, he often thought that he knew everything. He wants to show off to everyone that he looks like an encyclopedia or a dictionary. In fact, he did not know much.
In the beginning of the book, Lucinda was mean and stubborn. I did not like her one bit. She gave horrible gifts to all not just to Ella. For example, when a giant couple was getting married, Lucinda gave them a horrible gift. The giants could now never leave each other’s presence.
Where are the papers at that I told you to do about our financial issues? You looking dumb saying to yourself, I should have paid attention at the meeting yesterday. Now I am at risk of losing my job all because I did not pay attention in the meeting. The funny part is your boss fires you because you did not pay attention in the meeting. That day when the women came to speak, and class was over, I put myself in her shoes see what she went thru; it is hard to try to talk over like 30 kids in one room.
I worked nights, which meant 9pm to 7am, but the girls knew i had kids at home, and so they would let me clock off early and head home. I don't know how i made it home most nights, bleary eyed and completely exhausted at 3 or 4 am. Only to wake at 6:30 and get the kids off to
If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious. The lawsuit costed the company a lot money and I would be afraid that I would lose my job over the lawsuit. The courts verdict would affect me greatly and I would be ashamed to go back to work. Their was no explanation as to why the safety complaints were never investigated
Curley’s wife explained to Lennie about being lonely and how difficult it is on her. “’I get lonely… You can talk to people, but I talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad’” [Steinbeck 78]. Curley’s wife never has anyone to talk to; when she gets the chance she often ruins the mood. She did not want Lennie to hurt her, but Lennie is very unpredictable.
“ We have so much in store for you this weekend you are going to have a blast!” They handed me my brochure and schedule for the week and they surprised me with a custom Velocity baseball t-shirt as well as a pair of custom Nike Dri-Fit sweats pants. Soon after I get prepared for my first MVA (Maximum Velocity Artist) rehearsal of the week. MVA is highest reward awarded to the individual dancer. In order to compete for MVA you have to win MVA winner or runners-up at regionals. At first the rehearsal was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop.
Now in 2011, these workers make a dollar fifty an hour. The Filipinos were the very first group to go on strike for higher wages, but that was a fail. So everyone decided not to go to work; it did work for a while, but it was still the violence and prejudice that hindered them from succeeding. In the documentary, “Chicano: Struggle in the fields” talks about how hard life was for these migrant workers. Getting treated like property, no respect or dignity, completely invisible to all growers, and seen as lazy, ignorant, stupid, dirty, and poor and that’s one of the reasons why they were migrant workers; they also got treated like crap.
Those were some of the only words Brenda had uttered that day. See, earlier that morning Addie and Brittany had gotten into a fight that had apparently ruined Brenda’s whole birthday, and though they had made up nearly an hour ago Brenda still wasn’t budging as far as being upset with them went. Lucy and I awkwardly made side chat being the only neutral parties…caught in the middle of everything all day was getting really old. Yet despite the hostility we proceeded to stay as a group and make our way to the iconic ride, knowing that if we didn’t wait in this god awful line we would regret it the second we didn’t have the opportunity to. 45 minutes had passed, when we had finally reached the halfway point, crowded in an underground tunnel with really no option of going back and the end no where in sight was starting to take it’s toll on not only our group but on everyone else as well, especially the mother with two whining children.
Engl 100 Invitational Writing One of my scariest experiences with racism was back in 2008 when I first moved to Lawrence, KS and didn’t know my way around town. I was lost one night and decided to stop into a bar and grill restaurant to ask for directions. This was a huge mistake. As soon as I stepped foot inside, I heard someone yell out “Hey! This isn’t the Chinese buffet, get out of here!” Afterwards someone else shouted “China doll, why don’t you come sit on my lap.” I was too terrified and ran out of there and sat in my car, crying and shaking.
