[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Student 1 (say 1 is a federally recognized race) tells the story of a former faculty who really made life hell for [b]her[/b] in almost abusive conditions as an assistant

“Wow, it sounds like you had difficulties working together and that’s unfortunate, but it’s best in work settings not to discuss issues you may have had with previous professors or employers or even other coworkers. You never know in life who is listening and how your words might come back to you later. What if Alberto at the end of the table happens to be Professor’s nephew and in 10 years is also the hiring manager for a company you’re interested in. Do you think when you walk in for the interview they won’t remember how you trash talked their aunt to a group of coworkers 10 years ago? In the Future if you have legitimate concerns you should discuss directly and privately with that person or go up the chain of command.”

I’d apologize to HR for not shutting down inappropriate work conversations but I would not play into their race baiting. You should have ended the conversation the minute person 1 started complaining about someone not in the room. If you had done that the person 2 would never have made assumptions about their behavior based on race and person 3 wouldn’t have a leg to stand on but person 1, 2, and 3 might have learned a lesson about how to be a better employee.[/quote][/quote]
