I work in logistics and deal a lot with clients sending a request for transport from A to B. when operations don’t go well, I am the punching bag for a client. Many times I would explain “the loading place has delays” or “the truck will be one day later”, i have understanding but mostly hard-headed clients. Especially when we do trading for them. It’s like they don’t care it is not my fault and just start pressuring and and using “I will ask for money back” pressure. How do you speak to them?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white.

I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
