Re: Getting Black Balled by a Doc Manager & Filing for Unemployment -Need Advice

I expect it would depend on the circumstances.

Possibly off-topic anecdote:

In 1955 my parents bought their first home.  The 
neighborhood was all-white.  We weren't.  The 
only neighbor who rang our doorbell with the 
traditional "welcome to the neighborhood" cake 
in hand was this very nice woman whose only 
previous contact with people like us was at a 
restaurant or laundry.  This woman and her family 
were pretty much our only friends in the neighborhood
for many years, but in all the time we knew them, my 
mother never once pointed out to her that saying you 
were going to get takeout dinner or pick up your wash 
from the (racial epithet deleted) was not a good thing 
to say.  She would have been mortified, and had already 
demonstrated her character to us through action.  I think 
someone else eventually told her, because after a while 
we didn't hear the word anymore from her or her family,
but the correction never once came from any of us.
