| Quote: | | | | | If your lawyer's advice was to go online and ask random strangers whether anything similar (to what?) ever happened to anyone else, perhaps you'd be better off with a different lawyer. | | | | | Exactly THIS is what I find irritating and rather unfair. We are urged to discuss something we do not know what it is, we do not know whether there is any justification in the discrimintion aspect or whether it just was a bullying "chief" somewhere in that company.
I mean, if it is claimed that an "African" was accused of a theft conducted during absence of the "accused" person, I have my doubts. I tend to regard bankers as arrogant and pompous and self-assuming, but generally they are neither silly nor completely stupid.

I work as a Contractor at UBS at the moment, and Im a foreigner. It is one of the best places I have worked.
The only "Discrimination" I have experienced is, that as an EXTERNAL Employee, the canteen prices are slightly higher.
Doc.

You're funny. | | | | | No, it was a glowing reference. Because I really did extraordinary work for them.
And, my praises were sung in front of the judge. Extensively.
I know it's hard for the Brits here to imagine someone doing great work, but there it is.

I still wish you luck with your case, as I know what discrimination is. Been there and couldn't do anything about that. But life is nice. Really.
