Caucasian employees are assisted in every way possible by management in their efforts to make it in the already tough world of advertising sales. African-Americans are asked to pretty much fend for themselves....but if you manage to succeed on your own, they quickly build barriers to keep you from shining too brightly around the office. That luxury is reserved for "Whites Only". Remember that sign folks? No, it's not "physically posted" in the Metro office, but you can certainly feel it's presence. I say a boycott is the best idea yet. There's no pain for corporations like the pain of . Don't read the rag. Without you, they can't sell the ad-space thats making them millions. All I ever hear is "the media never tells the whole story." What % of the story are you getting from Metro? They're really close to the old Tea Party spot on Congress St. Treat them to one. Stop reading the Metro. Then let the environmentalists get them for continually wasting paper, printing all those copies with noone to read it.

Don't piss on people in your business. You never know when it will be your turn to clean up the mess. Are the folks at the paper related to those who work at Google?

The feeling is that women shouldnt be in the work place and if they are sucessful they make too much money.. whatever that means.. then they bring in someone at a small salary to manage the accounts that have been contracted... Metro doesnt think they should pay their employees for their work-- each year instead of an increase in salary or commission- they decrease the commission structure so they can keep more of the profit. So for those of you who think this issue is no big deal- its really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to racism, sexual harrasment and overall poor working conditions.
