    No, I don't "pull that card" often. It's pretty hard to just ignore it when somebody is deliberately demeaning you on the phone over something you cannot control. How many times have you heard people use the race card?! I hear it daily. I just wish that PAM's higher-ups would return my messages about this issue and not run so that it doesn't have to escalate. Maybe if I were waving money around, that would entice them.

    No, I was using the school's landline phone at the time. The director said they don't record his calls.

    If we cannot keep this topic clean, without details or discrimination, I will close this thread.

    Sometimes damages aren't the issue, its the principle. One could make the same argument that blacks weren't harmed by segregation. They still got to their destination,even if they had to sit in the back of the bus or stillgot to use the bathroom even if it was in a different part of a building.

    Discrimination is discrimination. It should not be tolerated because there's no actual "damages".

    Maybe I.have a different perspective since my brother is gay. I wonder about how he felt hearing people talk down about homosexuals. He knew he was gay since mid school and felt he had to hide.it for.so long. It makes sense now why he took a job that.had him move so far away.

    Many times people who are part of a protected class expect that they should be a 'shoo in' for any job that they apply for based on their membership in that class. They come across as elitist and untouchable - basically walking in and throwing it in the face of whoever's path they happen to cross. This is generally not well received. I'm not saying that's what's happening in your case, but it sure seems like it may be. If not, then there are more companies out there than PAM. Why waste your time and effort crying over spilled milk?
