DISCRIMINATION CONFLICT1
Discrimination is a source of heated conflict that potentially end in the legal trouble
for the persons indulging in the conflict or the company. The conflicts originated from
discrimination may lead to the personal prejudices on parts of the employees and perceptions
of the mistreatment of the employees (Mayer, 2012). In this paper I shall be detailing my
experience of being a victim of discrimination that ultimately led me to indulge in a conflict.
In this discrimination conflict the most important factor were my minority background.
As a person from minority group I was sent for a team in which I used to feel that I
am consistently assigned with the most menial work tasks in this group. Thus the persons in a
similar position with me had to be given to Harbour a feeling of resentment against the team
members as well as the managers. These feeling of discrimination and marginalization
eventually lashed out through our decrease productivity. Initially I was very much motivated
to work with the team but this discrimination process due to my cultural background had the
motivated me to contribute my skills in the growth of the organisation. This is the reason why
I could not feel attached with my team where everyone used to look down upon me. Thus
detachment gradually converted into outright verbal conflict which made me leave my job for
many times. In such cases the managers need to resolve this type of issues by sitting down
with our whole team and analyse the ways in which the job tasks are being assigned. They
must make changes to ensure that all the tasks are divided according to the merit and
capabilities and not on the basis of cultural or ethnic background.
Due to my different cultural background I was bullied in my schools and colleges
many times but I did not expect that the members of my team with so much knowledge of
tasks and a particular level of maturity can bully or show discriminatory behaviour against
me. According to study roughly 71% Asians are found to be experiencing discrimination
personally and been treated unfairly due to their ethnicity and race. I was one of them as my
colleagues did not accept me to be one of them in the team.
