[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 85776, member: 1550"] Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I was so mad...lol. Who says those things to the mother of a multi-racial family???? Anyways, I could never be a hero here. I've worked there all of four weeks and can barely do my job. So the hero angle wouldn't work, it's out. The bus driver does the difficult handicapped route that many drivers don't know how to do. It requires knowing how to get the physically disabled kids strapped in (this is what I'm supposed to be learning...lol.) She also is a workaholic, which I'm sure they like. I have thought, however, that the job isn't worth the aggrevation. I do get Disability for my tons of Learning Disability (LD)'s and mood disorder. So I can't make THAT much money or i"ll lose it, and I DONT make that much money. It is highly irritating to me to be around a bigot. I'm going to see if I get any more feedback, then decide what to do. The bus company is the fourth largest employer in Wisconsin and has to follow EEOC laws. However, what she said doesn't rise to the level of "harassment." And I doubt if she'll ever say it again because I didn't react well to it. I did keep my held, but told her I was very offended.
