Workplace racism againsed Scots forces me to quit.
Today was my last day on my current job.
The two head managers of my current workplace apparenly saw me in my kilt a few days ago. They figured I was either Scottish or gay.... hence today began a berate attack againsed me being Scottish, and wearing kilts. I took the beating for awhile, then left quietly. I then called my boss who is straight above me. A younger girl about my age who is my manager. I expressed the uncomfortable position I was placed in, and that I had BiPolar disorder and that I was close to just "blowing up" in the head manager's faces. So I left. She understood completly. I expressed that I was indeed in fact quite Scottish on my mother's side and that I was not going to take that kind of abuse. I also said that I was not gay, that I was indeed also a Christian and everything to the like. She said that she understood completly, and being that uncomfortable in the workplace would cause me not to be able to function that I did not need to be working there. And then she said to call her if I felt I could work there. I left it from there. My mom being Scottish herself is very upset with the managers, and does not believe I need to be working there.
