Pinoy Discrimination

[R. Magno]

Kas maysa nga Pilipino (wenno Ilokano) nga agnaed iti sabali nga pagilian, napasaram kadin iti na-descriminate (racially) iti uray ania man a wagas?. Kasla koma idiay pagtrabahuan, wenno iti bus, no ag-board ka iti eroplano, wenno mangan iti medyo high-class nga restaurant ken uray ania ditan?

Have you ever been subjected to racial or sexual discrimination as a Filipino in a foreign land?

[Misty_Eyes]

Idi kasangsangpet ko ditoy Amerika, nagtrabahuak nga immuna ket dita Woolworth (awanen ti Woolworth itan). Ala nagkolehiyo ak met, nakaturposak pay ket di iti Med Tech isu nga nu English lang saluyotek met ngem gagangay tay kasangsangpet na ditoy amerika maikawa lat bassit. Haan ko pay ket unay nga maawatan ti english dagitay puraw ta medyo napaspas ti panagsao da.

Adda nagsaludsod kaniak no sadinno ti pakasarakanna daytay air freshener nga adda saksakan na - ngem gapu ta cosmetics department ti ayan ko, insungbat ko kenkuana: "I think that is in houseware or electrical depts. 5 aisles down" sako intudo no sadino nga direksiyon. Kinita nak ketdin sana kinuna: "You are suppose to accompany me to the merchandise - you just don't tell me which direction!?" Imbugkaw na pay santo kasla nakatadtadem ti kusilap na. Gapu ti buteng ko, nag-sorry ak ngem ageskandalo metten diay puraw. "I want to see the manager right now!". Mabainak pay ketdin ta kikitaen dakami metten dagiti tattaon.

Nag-complain diay customer kadidiay manager ket kabigatanna, impasabat kaniak diay manager ko ti kastoy: Misty, you're going to have to find another job...".

That was only my third day!!!

Don't want to go through the hassles...
Plus, I don't have a witness :lol:

But I believe there will always be discrimination.
It's human nature.

[E-Heads]

Oh yeah!
Even those who say they don't discriminate, they do discriminate - myself included. Please don't get me wrong on this one.
We may not discriminate through our actions/speeches but in our thoughts, we sometimes unwittingly discriminate other people. I mean we can do this in a lot of ways without us knowing it until someone points that out to us.

One may do, say, or think of, something without intent of discrimination but sometimes other people interpret it otherwise.

We just have to be careful on whatever we do or say. That's why they say "think twice" sometimes :lol:

[CLONED]

Nu maminsan, isu nga adda discrimination ta ditayo met tubngaren.
Siyempre kuna diay nang-discriminate;
"mayat met gayam, didak met an-anuen uray mang-discriminate ak" a ta binay-an tayo met lattan :)

First, read the problem.


Pinay overseas worker bewails discrimination
Emily Abrera
Chair, McCann-Erikson, Phils.

I'VE been living in a beautiful island somewhere in the Atlantic for more than a year now. Things were hard for me right from the start. I studied in college (on a full scholarship) on Monday nights and I worked as a waitress on weekends. The company that I worked for had seen my potential and gave me a big break by giving me the chance to work full time. Not only that, they also gave me a shortened probation. And I am proud to say that I'm the first Filipino to work for a big company in this prestigious island, the first Filipino to be on a full scholarship, the first to graduate with merit in the course that I am taking and the first Filipino to be employed by a big company.

My problem arose when we had a new temp who is a local person of this country. She has been giving me a hard time by bad-mouthing me to everybody and having a negative attitude towards me. Whenever I ask her even just a simple question, she goes on and on about it making me look stupid. It's upsetting and frustrating. I talked to our supervisor, department head and also to the Human Resources head about the situation but instead of doing something about it, they just let it slide. I am sure that I am starting to be a victim of discrimination but what should I do? I'm the only Filipino in our company and in a multinational company here in this island. Should I just leave things alone? Now, they are saying that I should get professional help. I know that I'm not the problem because whenever they have department meetings, I am the only one not included unless the ''big cheese" is the one convening the meeting.

I cannot please everybody but I just want to work harmoniously with others. The temp that I'm working with is desperately doing her best to get my officemates' attention while I'm trying my best to keep silent and just do my work. But she keeps on and on after me. I want her to stop but my superiors don't want to listen to me saying that I am the problem because I let things get to me when I should just leave things alone.

It's hard and right now I'm just thinking of looking for another job but running away from this situation won't do me any good. I know the fact that my immediate supervisor likes her and is trying her best to give this temp a permanent job. It's not my business anymore but how come they can't tell her to just leave me alone. She is telling everybody that I'm bossy and that I don't know what I'm doing when in fact I was the one who trained her. Please advise.


Then, the advise....

First among the rest

Thank you for your letter. Your story is both intriguing and admirable! Indeed, you have many reasons to be happy and proud: you live on a beautiful island, you were granted a full scholarship and graduated with merit; you now have a permanent job, and you even enjoy the distinction of being the first Filipino to work for a big multinational company. It would seem that yours is a position many would envy, and yet you sound miserable ... and it's all because of this one person!


Harmony in diversity

As I understand it, this person is still a temporary hire, and is someone you trained. Just like you when you first joined the company, this person wants to showcase her capability, and maybe is overly eager to earn her permanency, too. After all, job security is important, isn't it? You yourself have set a great record, by earning your permanency after a shorter probation than usual. Is it possible she is trying to emulate that?

You mention the idea of harmony somewhere in your letter. It is an ideal all companies aim for but it's not that easy to achieve, especially if the group is big and the individuals come from diverse backgrounds. Maybe many of your coworkers come from different nationalities and even cultures, but perhaps there are more who are local hires, just like the new person. If, as you describe, she has a strong and even aggressive personality, then it's possible that this has made you feel somewhat left out. If there's a language barrier as well, this can add to your feeling of being excluded from the rest.


Reflection

Companies try to embrace the best policies that support good practices and minimize problems in the work environment, but sometimes conflicts arise from other aspects that are difficult to control: for instance, clashes of personality, or what we sometimes loosely refer to as "bad chemistry." You know how sometimes there are people whom we just find "antipatiko," whom we instinctively and for no apparent reason flatly dislike at first meeting? Actually, when we analyze our feelings, we eventually get to the real reasons. Sometimes it's because that person reminds us of someone we had a bad experience with in the past; or it may be that we see the newcomer as an intruder into our territory and hence we feel threatened. It can also be brought about by a misunderstanding of cultural backgrounds and cues.

If you've already approached your Human Resources head and your supervisor and they don't think there's a major problem, then perhaps you are being over-affected by the way this other person does things. Certainly, if they have gone so far as to say you should seek professional help, that's worrisome. Hopefully, the quality of your work hasn't suffered because of this perceived problem. It would be unfortunate if you allowed this to happen.

May I suggest that you spend a little thinking about all these aspects of the situation? Even better, pray about it. While not everything can be solved by reflection, prayer can give us a fresh perspective of our problems, and help us become more open to resolving differences with others.


Options

Consider the following pieces of advice:

Try not to judge everything she does or says. You see, it's quite possible that the new person feels a bit like you do (i.e., that you don't like her); she just has a different way of showing her insecurity.

Try to be happy for her if she is praised. You both work for the same company. You are teammates, not competitors.

Try to concentrate on how to improve your own work, rather than watching what that other person is doing.

Why not try to befriend her? The more you know someone, the easier it is to understand his or her quirks and behavior. Her actions may not be aimed at criticizing you; maybe that's the way she is to everyone.

And lastly, try not to indulge in gossip-you may be reacting to other people's interpretations of what was said rather than what was actually meant.

Remind yourself that you are a good employee and that the company values your contribution. They have given you excellent opportunities. Trust that if you continue to just do good work, and think well of others, then no one can bring you down. And you will be "first among the best."

I apologize if I sounded preachy. It just seemed like this was the sort of advice that would help you most right now. God bless.

Now, watcha tink? :)

[JOSHRAVEN]

Ti maysa nga nasursurok kenni Parents ko ket ti kinapakumbaba aglalu iti sangwanan ni tattao. My father would praise you but kwidaw ka baka saan nga kasta ti kayat na nga ibaga kenka. Nu utuben nga panunuten baka kunamton madi gayam tay insaok.

On the Job the first person I can easily go with are those people in the maintenance, security guard, messenger and other below my level. I try to be one of them and sometimes get proud to be one them, because these are people who has that will to do a job that you dont want.

Isu nu dadduma nu adda agsaludsud nu ania ti trabahok aglalo dagitay diak amammo ti kunak janitor iddiay... :wink:

Then let them know who you really are. Nasayaat nga ita maintenace guy ka, tuno bigay big time contractor, saan kadi? :)

[Lam-Ang]

Napintas deyta kapanunotam Joshraven - humility with a lie.
Ngem amangan nu masdaaw ka ta ad-adu nga amang dagitay mang-exaggerate daytay "trabaho" da. Ibaga da nga mangopisina uray salesperson met gayam yanta Sears :lol:

Where I am ..nababa unay ti panagkit-kitada kadatayo nga Asians...ditoy pagobraak...mostly ket Asians ti Managers ken supervisors...taotauhan dagitay puraw... adda maysa nga colonel nga nagreklamo no apay asians kano met la ti makitan... instead nga toy Base Commander mi ket ayunanna isuna, ket inungtan na pay...he said they r the best workers in this base!... and most of the time they think I am Puerto Rican, they talk to me in Spanish, ...but I always correct them... I am Filipino... (and an Ilocana).

[Anakin Skywalker]

Agyaman da ketdi koma pay dagitoy daduma nga puraw ta kayat tayo nga aramiden dagiti trabaho nga dida kayat.
Dagidiay dadduma agpayso nga puraw ket diskompiyado da. Dadduma kunak ta adda met dagitay puraw nga nasayaat ken mannakaawat.

[Myrna]

In the military... they implement equal opputunity... whether you are white, black. asian etc.... if somebody treated u bad because of ur color/race... u can file a complaint against him, and if he is proven guilty, he will be demoted ...that's why I chose to work for the military... I can't see myself working off base... there is too much discrimination out there!

[lelet]

Ditoy met yanmi ket di matanggap dagiti puraw nga no dadduma ket nangatngato ti saad ti pinoy ngem isuda. No damdamom payla ditoy agkarabaon da ken Pinoy ket gapu ta di tayo pay met ammo ti araramiden tayo a ta damdamo tayo pay. Amin nga narigat ken ited da kenka. ala ket aramiden tayo met latta a. No nalpas tay adaptation period mon, daytan, hawak mon ti maysa nga group. Ala ket aramiden da met ti ited mo nga trabahuen da ngem adu latta tay ammo da la ngarud nga sika tay boss dan maala daka payla nga baonen, maybe because of our color. Ngem kas tay kuna ni Cloned its up to you to handdle. No dimo tubngaren they will continously discriminate you.

Last Christmas met agpaspasiar kami nga sangapamilyaan. Nasabat mi ni Santa Clause and he was giving chocolates and gifts to children. Idi immasideg diay anak ko, inikkan na ti chocolate. Idi immasideg dagidiay ubbing nga puraw inikkan na ida iti chocolates and gifts. My daughter ask me, "mom, why i got only chocolate, all of them got gifts?" i said "we'll go to the shop and i'll buy you lots of gifts." :oops:

[lelet]

Last year nag hire da ti Spanish ditoy ayan mi ta haan da kanon nga kayat ti Pinoy ta natatangsit tayo kano, PALABAN. Mapalabas payla ti maysa nga lawas, adu ti reklamo dan ta dagitoy met ngamin Spanish nagrigat da nga agsao ti English, saan nga maawatan unay. So tuloy ang pag hire ng mga Pinoy. OOpppss... ibang topic yata ang nai-enter ko!!!

I could have hired a nanny for my kids.. I was too busy then with my job......but I am so lucky enough to have my parents and grand parents and my sisters and brothers ...they helped me bring them up as good human beings.....
