And didn’t do their jobs and never got fired because they were white. One guy used to go to the bathroom at least 15 times a day snorting coke and we ended up doing his job. Another guy used to come in hungover almost everyday. And we had to make up for his slack. One was the son of a famous retired football player and only got the job because of his Dad. He rarely did any work yet he was promoted and paid more than a lot of us women who were for many years. I sat near him and smelled alcohol on him all the time. Yet he was never fired. I got another job and never found out what happened to him.
