Discriminate to Eliminate -- Then Compensate
Sometimes you can't win. You promote someone to avoid discrimination suits and then you get sued by the person who was promoted...and lose. It's a "Catch 22" for the employer and a ticket to "Easy Street" for the employee. Here's how it works.
Camilla's protector paid outA BLACK police bodyguard who protected the Duchess of Cornwall has won $70,000 compensation after suing Scotland Yard for "over-promoting" him because of political correctness. His representatives argued he landed the prestigious job as Camilla's bodyguard only because he was black. It was claimed that as a result of being over-promoted and not receiving proper training and support, Sgt Turner made mistakes which led to him being re-assigned.
Please keep this a secret from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. If they get hold of this idea, they'll be demanding demotions with raises.
