[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you work in elder care and not want to do whatever you could to ensure they are comfortable and calm? Just get a job at a hotel or something.[/quote]

Exactly. The employee lacks even a basic sense of empathy towards her clients. [/quote]

+1  After her boss pointed out that her hair changes was upsetting to her patients, [i]the woman continued to do it[/i].  That shows malice imo.  How hard would it be to just wear the same hairstyle each day?[/quote]

You have no idea about caring from AA hair. It can be very challenging to replicate the same hairstyle every day without braids or a sew in. And those cause traction alopecia. [/quote]

??? I don't?  That's surprising.  I guess I don't see my blackness when I look in the mirror.  I wonder what color that is?  Perhaps you can help and tell me, oh patronizing one.

Another poster said she thought the employee was being malicious.  I agree.  I don't change my hair style every day, neither do any of my black friends.  I think someone is playing a game with the race card and it isn't the facility.  After her manager said something to her, the fact that she refused to comply says a lot to me about her character.  She should not be retained at that facility.

IMO the facility should institute a policy of consistency for hairstyles and hair colors as well as general uniforms and attire.

My grandfather, who lives with us here at home, has dementia and my mom is a stickler about us keeping the household and everything in it very structured and orderly.  It makes a big difference in Pop Pop's life when we keep to a schedule and when we are consistent in our days.  When he is with us for meals, we all wear name tags because it helps him.  He is a wonderful man and dementia is a horrible disease.[/quote]
This right here, dear dcum, is a textbook example of victim-blaming. It makes no difference that pp claims she is black. She is blaming the victim of discrimination on the basis of her looks.
Just how masters used to blame slave girls for "seducing" them, while they were raping young girls.[/quote]
