Hoping for some opinions..... Iam a nurse I received a promotion at work, the day it was announced, the lead consultant for the team (who has never really accepted me) had arranged a department meeting that I was invited to, at this meeting she introduced me to the team as been 'given' a promotion, that I was inexperienced, and sarcastically questioned what 'exactly I was going to be doing' in a role that was already established. She continued with looking in disapproval at me and saying that I was a bit Milky. She never at all welcomed me, she never gave any support or encouragement but instead tried to highlight negativity towards me. I was mortified. Another staff member who had no experience at all in the speciality was sat next to me, she too had been promoted in her role. Her welcome was the complete opposite. She was welcomed with open arms. Now the term she used to describe me Milky, I originally thought she was having a go at my skin colour, she is of African ethnicity, and I was utterly shocked, so i researched exactly what this means, the explanations I found where ..... an incredibly attractive caucasian female, someone who gives a good supply of milk, or a tame meek person which I take out the equation as she has stated to other managers that I am apparently feisty. when questioned about this by others she said she was making a point that Iam that inexperienced that Iam hanging off my mothers breast. iam not inexperienced I have 13 years nursing experience behind me and 6 years in the speciality AIBU to take this personally? What are your opinions on what she meant by this? The psychological impact this has had on me is so bad, I have already cried a thousand tears over this, so dont feel I will be offended of your opinion. Do you think she is being racially prejudice, sexually discriminative or would you say that Iam being unreasonable and should accept my 13 years of nursing as inexperienced?
