I work for a small office. I am the only POC on staff and the doctor thinks it's appropriate to continuously make jokes regarding my blackness or personal features. I am leaving the position in a few weeks but since it's such a small company there isn't a human resource person to report him to. What are my other options of reporting him? 🙃 I definitely don't want him to continue doing this to other people.

That's really awful. Are you looking to file a lawsuit against this doctor or against the company for tolerating this? Try communicating with the state labor department if they can help you out in reporting this incident.

I blacked out and hit on a coworker at a work-related event. I would never have normally done it (aside from the stupid amounts of alcohol in my system) and they are in a committed relationship, making everything so much worse.

No idea how I’m going to interact with them in basically every meeting I have for now until I leave the company.

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore?

On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
