| 0:00.0 | racist boss refuses to hire any African people, then fires me. So I make him lose $100,000. |
| 0:08.8 | Here's what happened. Subscribe to Am I the Jerk on YouTube and hit the bell for notifications. |
| 0:14.7 | So I used to be a consultant for a large technology company. My role was essentially to go in |
| 0:20.2 | and manage the operations of a project or program in order to make sure it was running smoothly. |
| 0:25.2 | This particular job was at a large international bank and tensions were high as the project was failing. |
| 0:31.2 | We had this program manager who was also my direct manager. Let's call him Nabi. Nabi consistently |
| 0:38.0 | talked to and treated people like crap. Sold people to sort their life out and to stop failing |
| 0:43.9 | and things like that. Some other examples of his behavior are firing contractors while they were |
| 0:49.3 | on holiday. Purposely blacklisting people he had a personal issue with, even though their |
| 0:54.2 | performance was fine, told me not to hire or interview any African people because they were |
| 0:59.8 | lazy and bad workers. Made people work until 2am multiple times a week, then belittled them for |
| 1:06.3 | not being in at 6am. Anyway, I did my best as the ops manager to try and stop this happening, |
| 1:12.7 | or make life at least a little bit easier for the people, but it wasn't working. So I decided |
| 1:18.0 | to quietly build up a business conduct case in the background whilst this was going on. It got so |
| 1:23.5 | bad I submitted the case to legal. One day it was my turn. Nabi decided to fire me in the most |
| 1:29.1 | spectacular way in front of the client and the other staff, as he couldn't handle me going against |
| 1:35.2 | him anymore, except I had submitted a case against him which protected me against retaliation. |
| 1:40.7 | So I kept my butt on that seat next to him while the investigation continued. He was eventually |
| 1:46.0 | sacked for everything he did and the legal exposure he caused fast forward two years. I'm at |
| 1:51.7 | another large consultancy. Part of my role is to keep an eye on who's being hired. I see Nabi's |
| 1:57.2 | name come up on a report of incoming hires. I check his CV and it's him. So I block his hire and |
| 2:04.2 | have them revoke his 100,000 pound a year offer. Jerk, you know what, I don't blame you one bit. |
