Race discrimination seems to be the most obvious type of discrimination. Other discriminations such as gender, religion or physical appearances are harder to identify. There is only one time I am sure I was discriminated against on the basis of gender. A few years ago I worked as a collector at a debt collection agency in La Porte. After about a year of working there I was asked if I would like to train all the new collectors that came. I agreed to be the collections trainer. Every few months I would train a new person as the turn over rate was rather high. One day I got a new person to train. Unlike all my past trainees this one was a male. I spent a long week training this rather arrogant man that was only 20 and never had any college training. His previous job was working labor in a factory. I trained him on several rules and regulations. I week later when he was on his own I overheard him breaking Fair Debt Collection Practice Acts rules.

Sure enough many people in the department became upset.
There were very few men that worked at this company. We had a president, a vice president and a few salesmen. The vice president actually started as a collector about 10 years back! The vice president was the man that told this collector (Brad) he was the new supervisor. When Brad came back from the meeting where he was told he was supervisor he had such an arrogant and smug look on his face we all hated him.
