This is an e-mail convesation that ook place last year. Not very much information in it but what was discussed was constructive and helped the non-white male who was experiencing problems on the job.

This is data that is directly tied to Using The U.S. Constitution as a Tool.

Thanks blanked out! Please keep the information coming!

Here is a conversation, that hopefully you and others can get information from, of me and my manager talking about training. The buildup prior to this was that I asked for training on a product that we were using on the job that I was tasked with using and keeping it upgraded and functional as part of my job responsibilities. I asked for the training and management asked me for justification for the training.

Me and My Manager

Here I was tasked to use and keep software updated as part of my job responsibilities that I was not trained to use. When I asked for training I was told to provide justification for the training on the software that they hired me to use. I had no prior knowledge of this software prior to being hired and told them that in the interview. They not only wanted me to provide them justification for the training that I needed to do the job that they hired me to do but they also wanted to know how I was going to use what I learned in the training to train my colleague. Apparently they had no intention of training the non-white female that was working with me.

Telling, Training and Testing. This is the process...the logical process. They will tell you to do something and test or grade your efforts but they will rarely train you to do what it is they tell you to do. So, I was told to do it and graded on my performance for doing it but not trained on doing it. And when I asked for taining I had to provide justification for being trained. They left out the Training part as they usually do.

In the meeting with my manager I asked three basic questions;

(1) What is the purpose of the meeting?
(2) Have you had a chance to look at the agenda for the training?
(3) Do you have a list of things that you want me to get out of the training?

There is no step-by-step process for this. Once you understand THE LOGIC of what you're doing you just use the words that are necessary to take everyone participating in the conversation exactly where it is you want to go.

I got my manager to provide me the justification for me taking the training. See...he already had the justificiation in his head. He didn't need to have a meeting with me at all. I was patient. Had to say things more than once. But took my time and walked through THE LOGIC with my manager slowly. What HelixHair said about white people 'doing the math quickly' is absolutely correct. But if you are patient and not try to jump the gun and cover all of the basis all at once...careful...have a good grasp of THE LOGIC of what you are doing...and some examples of the language always helps...you can walk through the process with them step-by-step.

You don't always have to have the tactical advantage in order to get people to follow the logic you are using. A good grasp of the logic and use of words can get the job done. In the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) non-white people never have the tactical advantage over the smartest and most powerful white people...even when it seems that we do. So we have to rely on THE LOGIC and the use of words.

And that is how it is done. Now you can refine your approach by...for example...staying away from saying 'same training' since that causes you to have to do more work by having to answer additional training. I refined my approach by using the phrase 'do my job correctly'. See...they ain't gonna say you don't need to do your job correctly so that phrase always helps to set the focus of why any training is needed. Once you got the 'why' or the reason why behind you then you move to the 'how' and that is where due process can really bring focus into the conversation.

If a person uses Microsoft Excel on the job, for example, and is required to do their job correctly and the person requests training from Microsoft on the use of Microsoft Excel in order to do their job correctly and the person does not get the training they requested...then logically speaking...the person is not required to do their job correctly. I mean...something's gotta give. Either the person is required to do their job correctly or the person is not required to do their job correctly. See how that works. If they tell you that on your job you can do your job any old kinda way because everyone before who has done your job has done it any old kinda way and you'll still get your raises and promotions on time for doing your job any old kinda way...well...eh...uhm...uhh... then do your job any old kinda way. But I don't think any manager is gonna tell you that.

But if you have a job and you are told that you are required to do your job correctly then all you have to do is come up with the things you need in order to do your job correctly and let your manager know what those things are. Very simple. Now they probably will not tell you are required to do your job correctly because they know where that is gonna lead to. You will have to ask if you are required to do your job correctly.

This is a great chess move. How are they gonna answer 'no' to that question? Once they say 'yes' in answer to that question then you let them know what you need in order to do your job correctly. Don't let them know what you need in order to be successful. Words are very important. Now...when they say you are required to do your job correctly and you tell them the training you need in order to do your job correctly but they don't provide you with that training and they still give you a poor performance review then you have probable cause to believe that someone is subverting the Constitution of the United States...because that is not justice. According to the United States Constitution we are supposed to be establishing justice.

So...they tell you what you are required to do...you tell them what training you need in order to do your job correctly...then they have to provide you with that training. They may try to avoid giving it to you...but if you position your words correctly they will paint themselves into a corner. Now they may try to play the odds which is something they do on a daily basis. They may provide you the training and anyone else that goes through the same process you went through to get the training. When other people do not step up like you did then they will not get the training. I've seen this happen repeatedly.
