How Bad Is Favoritism in the Workplace?

There is no such thing as being treated fair in this industry, however, the artist is the employer at the end of the day and must treat his or her workers with kindness and respect to their image professional. I am convinced that everyone is not going to be a winner or loser this includes the in between as well. No one is really treated the same, you can reward every artist with a free keyboard but his or her weakness or straight will be in the play of the sound, like fairness is in love and war. The delivery and response is fair when everyone does the same thing at the same pace, same time, and the same movement. Top performers whether artists or not, do not turn out to be winners all the time, some turn out to be losers too. There is always time to manage people in the direction of a goal. The managers just have to know how to lead their objectives to avoid wasting time on under-managed tasks and non-skilled workers. As Bruce said; “It’s Okay to be the Boss” (Tulgan,

Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. In the workforce, the issue of racism and discrimination has been brought to the center of conversations around the world. Companies claim to be “colorblind” and not hire somebody based on their race or gender, but the employment rates among minorities and women around the world is significantly lower than the majority in the given country. There is also the growing issue of minorities, such as blacks in america, making significantly less money than whites. This issue affects people all around the world who happen

Over the last several decades, great strides have been made when it comes to eliminating sexism and progressing towards gender equality. However, sexism is still ingrained in our everyday culture. This is evident in the fact that in 2017 women earn about 80 cents to a man’s dollar and are less likely to be promoted within the workplace. It’s an unfortunate fact the most women will experience some form of sexism throughout their lives. In this paper, I will address my personal experiences with both hostile and benevolent sexism, how the two forms of sexism differ, and how these experiences have affected me.

So my norm violation will revolve around the work I do. Currently I am a Regional Safety Manager for a company named Hydrochem. As a safety manager, it is my job to make sure everyone has the knowledge, tools, protective equipment and training needed to perform their job safely.

There is always going to be a certain level of misunderstanding or miscommunication between employees in the workplace. But when the ugly specter of prejudice appears in the workplace, based on gender, ethnicity, cultural differences, religion or skin color, it can cause serious problems and hurtful feelings. This paper offers scholarly information on prejudice in the workplace and relates as to how prejudice can be reduced.

In a perfect world, people would be equal in rights, opportunities, and responsibilities, despite their race or gender. In the world we live in, however, we always face all kinds of neglect based on different attributes. All over the United States, certain people treat others with prejudice because of particular features they possess. Unfortunately, prejudice and discrimination occur even in places which, by definition, should be free of all personal prejudices – specifically, in offices and other business surroundings. This tragedy is called workplace discrimination; not every unfair behavior at work, however, can be assessed as discrimination. Discrimination in the workplace happens when an employee experiences unfair treatment due to their race, gender, age, religion, marital status, national origin, disability or veteran status, or other characteristics. Discrimination is one of the largest issues people face in the workplace and it must be dealt with. The U.S. have laws and regulations on discrimination but it still often occurs. Workplace discrimination appears in hiring, training, promotion, firing, and other institutional or interpersonal treatment. Discrimination sometimes causes an employee to leave or quit the workplace, resign from a position, or in more severe cases, to commit suicide or act violently against the discriminators. Discrimination is one of the largest issues many people face in the workplace.

Favoritism can lead not only to lower morale, but lower productivity and a higher turnover rate as employees get fed up with the office atmosphere. To get things back on track and make sure the entire team is working together to help alleviate a feeling of favoritism in the workplace.

This is known as direct discrimination (Racial Discrimination, 2005). Even if you do not realize it discrimination is all around you. It could be a very small instance or a large scale one and most people will just ignore what they see. Racial discrimination in not only wrong but it is immoral and it goes against everything that this country stands for. Today discrimination can occur in the hiring or recruiting of jobs, in the service of customers, and even inside a company in the workplace. For example if there are certain rules or guidelines that you must go by to perform your job, then it is expected that everyone in your company go by those same guidelines. However, if you have different ways of handling things with different people within the company then you are discriminating against some of your workers (Quizlaw, 2005). This is considered corrupt and illegal, but it happens every single day in some places.

Although women have been apart of the workplace for the past few years, this does not mean that they are going to be treated equally by their coworkers, both men and women. As written about in chapter seven of, I Can’t Believe She Did That! Why Women Betray Other Women at Work Nan Mooney explains Tokenism, and it’s effects on the workplace to this day.

Of course, treating everyone fairly and equally can get confusing at times. The leader may have two direct reports and one of the employees does substantially more work than the other and the leader can always depend on them to accomplish the task at hand within the required deadline. On the other hand, the leader has another employee that completes the task but doesn’t put in quite as much effort. If the leader treats the two employees equally then the one employee that has gone above and beyond what is required of them could start to build resentment, they

Searching for employment can be a difficult task for a number of reasons. In the cases of the disabled, that search is much more difficult. Discrimination toward disabled job applicants and employees was so rampant that the government stepped in and the Americans with Disabilities Act was drawn up. The intention was to give the disabled the same rights as any other job-seeking citizen.

Today one thing that stereotyping is a big problem in, is the workforce. Stereotyping plays a big role in gun owners and how gun owners act around and to others. Black people and white people always get compared in some form or fashion and always have. Many sports teams are accused of stereotyping other teams, players, and sports officials. Stereotyping is one way that many Americans judge people.

Prejudice in the workplace has come a long way in recent decades. But it’s still there, despite decades of activism, legislation and human resources programs to counter it and to promote an appreciation of diversity. Prejudice comes in qualitatively different forms, such as — racial profiling, religious, obesity, sexual orientation, age, immigrants, and gender — that have to be managed in different ways.

The issue of Patronage is everywhere. It's more common than people think. One definition of patronage is basically "the distribution of jobs and favors on a political basis, as to those who have supported one's party or political campaign" [1]. This states that anyone who supports someone's political party or campaign can get jobs and favors handed to them because of who they know. Nepotism is a form of patronage and is defined as "favoritism shown on the basis of family relationship, as in business and politics" [1]. Essentially, if someone works for the county, they can get any one of their family members a job, even if they aren't qualified. This is a very important issue that needs to be recognized and fixed.

It’s illegal and unethical also in a organization. Terri Hockett says” health for management to favor and reward an employee who is always willing to collaborate and offer real solutions.” In my experience, I always I believed in performance giving my employers 110 percent also when given a task, coming in early, staying late when ask, and learned, different departments. My colleagues understood why I got my promotion. There was favoritism I found this out the hard way. We had girls working full time and they worked with their schedules and when I ask about doing the same they and I was denied. Some of them could come in late, break rules like having phones out, not clock out for break rules. Explain it could lead to legal troubles, if
