(11,065 posts)Businesses just have no moral standards anymore. One of the reasons I prefer to work for very small businesses since they're much more likely to have "old fashioned" values of common decency. But they can also be far worse than the bigger businesses, so it's really just luck of the draw. Generally speaking, all workers these days are usually treated like crap.
What really sucks about discrimination in the work place is that more often than not it's impossible to prove even if the worker actually discovers it at all which is more likely. Businesses are very good at hiding their discrimination and having plausible excuses as to why you weren't hired, were fired, didn't get the promotion, get most of the crap duties, etc.
Despite Obama signing this executive order not much will likely change because those worker being discriminated against aren't likely going to know about it in the first place.
