Personal Narrative: My Equity In The Workplace

Improved Essays
Situation when I treated unjustly, and how I restored equity.
One situation where I thought I was treated unfairly was when I worked at the airport lounge over the summer. It was my first job in the USA, thus I was excited, and tried to give my best effort on my work so that I could learn something. I was younger than all of my co-workers, and I always tried to follow their instructions and helped them whenever they ask for. However, I had some awesome co-workers, but over time I observed some of them were not. There were some Spanish co-workers specially three of them who only showed up doing work at the time managers and supervisors come to the round, and the rest of the time they spend by gossiping rather than work. Therefore, I had to work more than I should. Sometimes in the pick hour I noticed they worked slowly so that I had to work more. Moreover, most of the time while we had to set up the conference room for the aircrews meeting, they ordered me to do the hardest part which was to bring every item and foods from the store room, and organizes those on the cart. And two of them take it to the conference room and just place it over.

I also told him who else treated me the same way. He told me that he will handle and observe more, and he adjusted my schedule with someone else I want to work with, and told me that he will make sure that it will not going happen again, and if anything happens again I should inform him. I was happy with his decision because I didn’t want to work with them anymore. I think by informing my manager with the prove was the best way to restore equity, because it reduces the risk of misperception that managers could have about me that I just join and complaining about my senior co-workers. Although I had to suffer that problem almost a month, I think “take time” decision was better to understand their

    From experiences, I have seen more cases of procedural and informational justice than distributive and interpersonal justice. To elaborate, the distributive form of justice was often a well-kept secret in the organizations I worked. Further, work assignments discrepancies were usually related to someone’s skill set or career development plan. Additionally, interpersonal justice cases were managed reasonably well by the HR department or union representative. There were indeed some cases when I felt I was not treated fair by my superiors.…

    Melinda, I am sorry to hear the way your supervisor treats you. It is evident from the post that your supervisor is not a servant leader who considers people as her purpose (DelHousaye & Brewer, 2004). A servant leader understands and uses his/her influence and authority to serve others (DelHousaye & Brewer, 2004). These leaders adopt different methods to meet the needs of the team and serve the people. There were many methods that your supervisor could have used to meet your needs and empower you if she were a servant leader.…
