You are only worth your title in the firm. No one cares what you know or learned throughout. They keep you because they need you so don’t fall for the reputation of the firm

OP you need to be more specific. Dont they teach you the fishbone breakdown in B School and in strategy firms ? Do that first.

I'm so sorry, but character-limit didn't allow. But thanks anyway for your great tip, now my problem is solved. Fishbone breakdown...hmm...now I get why some work from the big brother smell fishy!

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?
Racism?

The first time I ignored that, but now it has become a pattern and is bothering me now. I am south-American working in the UK.
