On January 8, 2010 I was harassed and discriminated by my boss. People might ask, why and how and I'll get into that at a later time; once I have acquired all the appropriate papers that I need.

To be exact, I want people to think about these two things. It seems to be common in this modern time with unemployment being so high and 7.2 million people are looking for a job.

As for the last definition prejudice; it seems to be tied in with these two definitions. As you can see, people have to have a motive in order to be able to create the first two definitions.

Think about it everyone and give me you're response, what do you think? Have you been harassed, or even been discriminated by your boss? Tell me what you did and how you stop it.

Ps. I'll conclude my story here after I have enough thought, as to how I want to describe and tell my story. That way people are informed and will take the necessary procedures if this happens to you.
