My Workplace May Fire Me! Read Why! - Advise Needed.

Ummh, I think I stated in the first page of this post, he can't accuse you of being racist as Singh is not a race. Please refer back to my post. Yes Jagsaw Singh is correct in UK only Sikh and Jews are a race /religion, but my lawyer friends will know just Singh surname does not imply you are a Sikh. Possibly it can be assumed someone with Singh as surname is Sikh, but not all Singh are Sikh, but all Sikh are Singh. Hindus used Singh many centuries prior to GuruSahibhan.

Guys trying to look cleaver by answering questions with advanced google searches spending umpteen hours, it's quite clear some posters have no clue what they are on about, I can pm for example, no need to spoil the forum.

Nah veer ji , knew contract law from own life experience and been through unfair dismissal procedure with Gursikh Bhenji fired from Carphone Warehouse by new muslim management , they took over the franchise and cleared all non-muslims from the building. the race discrmination act from 1960 has had a few amendments and precedents have been set by apne singh taking cases to court ...if I mention the laws surely that will help people research for them selves if they get a tough situation too.

The Guy can accuse but I pointed out can't make a case of it any way, but that doesn't protect Bhai Sahib if he gets punished by his bosses. thus equality act 2010 comes in handy and the number of local CAB and solictor

JagsawSingh does have a valid point it shouldn't have been mentioned... Its hard not to when you see the name singh and the guys mouth is filthily as a gutter esp towards another singh.

Jkvlondon veer does have some good points too! I think it would be more of a Jagsawsingh type of view as the OP manger is very traditional and old school... he was kicking off why we should be allowed non uniform days for eid etc... lol hes not so very multicultura

its a major mobile brand where the contact centre is outsourced by another company ,they scam "their customers" through various methods... You can have a manufacturing faulted device , have it repaired 6 times and they will not replace it but only offer another lousy repair... , most of the management is made up people who have licked their mangers asses to get any progression.

I'll just stick to my guns that it wasn't meant in a derogatory way. Its shocking to hear such language from somebody with the name Singh. It was just a comment to say you are better than this. If its such a big issue we shouldn't have to say our real names on the telephones as MANY times people say racial things such as "Oh where are you based , thats a funny english name , you sikh b******* etc.... If your not happy with this then chalo , maaf karna it wont happen again. Regarding the good luck statement was genuine words of good luck.

Leave it in maharajs hands

Dharam wise reminding a brother his duty is the right thing to do.

we should all be worrying about the bigger things in life.. our time is running out.

Good Luck 'Mr John Smith' ...if manager is old school maybe he will understand not wanting to deal with rudeness but please send in apology to HR to mitigate escalation of event internal to the company. Waheguru kirpa karen it all blows over ...maybe the 'Christmas spirit' will enter in ... :happy2:

to the OP.

The only genuine advice is by Jagsaw singh ji.

(I am also surprised at the lack of intelligence by some sikhs on here who can't seem to grasp fundamental principles of general law)

The fact that you bought race and prejudice into the equation is where I'm afraid you will be at fault.

If you praise or favor someone or one of your own... even then it is considered prejudice and discrimination.

You said along the lines ''I don't expect that language from a singh''.... will also be taken to mean that you would expect it and take it from others but not from him because of his name...religion..race...-( in simple terms you are telling him to behave himself because of his faith or race)

.....this implies that you discriminated in your sentence and response regardless of whether you treated him unfairly or not from your heart.

Imagine you were working as some promoter in a department store and had to give out 50 dollar coupons at random every 30 minutes to whoever you chose.

Then for some reason you thought about being fair and deliberately choosing people from some race or community because you personally felt they deserved it.

....AGAIN,, this would be unfair discrimination because the ones not chosen would have a right to complain on those grounds if they were to know your tactics !

.....So you see, even if we think we are doing good and being helpful,, we can also be prejudice and discriminative without harmful intentions.

Absolutely luckysiingh99. Like you, I have been pretty astounded by the general lack of understanding of very simple matters of Law , being exhibited here. It actually really worries me because already the other south Asian groups have a stereotype of our community as being very thick, so we should be doing everything to dsipel that myth by making ourselves so knowledgable, so well-read.

Showing your "thickness" again by making such "thick" comments.
