Hey guys. I was recently going for a promotion at my job and I feel that I was passed over due to my race. I had a phone interview with my would be manager. I'd never met her before that point. The next day I notice her in my store and recognize her due to her name badge (I do loss prevention). She then attempts to walk by me and my coworker and as she does I attempt to introduce myself as the person she interviewed the day before and as I'm telling her this she cuts me off and says she doesn't know what I'm talking about or who I am. As she walks away she keeps me and my coworker in her sites as she then pulls out her cell phone and makes a call. Shortly after I then receive a call from the loss prevention manager from another store saying,
Cristina (the woman that interviewed me) saying that their are two big black guy's in the shoe department looking like they are going to steal. I then explain that she's referring to me and my partner. I then approach her again and explain to her that I am the loss prevention for the store and that I only wanted to introduce myself. She then goes on to say " oh I'm sorry. Is this how you guys catch people? Going around looking like you're going to steal? ". Regardless to say, I didn't get the job. It was given to someone with a lot less experience and of Caucasian descent. Is there anything that I can do? Is it worth pursuing? Im already looking for another job
