This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You have to deliver fewer hours of work than other potential employees. Plus, your employer has to plan around your schedule in particular. It's a lucky break for any employer if you are just not the right guy for the job for reasons completely unrelated to your ethnic background.

Yeah we're talking about the public service here so it's not something that people really worry about, but I understand where you're coming from if we were talking about the private sector...

Oh yeah, public services never discriminate!

If there's one employer for which you can work where you can be sure they will do something if you feel like you're discriminated against due to your ethnicity it's that one.
