How to get properly compensated

I have a sibling who has been employed by a company for more that six years. He is the ONLY Non-white person working at his place of employment. Further, I suspect that he is OVERQUALIFIED for his current position. Recently he came across his original job description, and realized that he has been doing extra work which he has not been properly compensated for. He does get a 10% raise each year, and he is able to work overtime anytime he needs more money.

His problem is that he wants to be properly compensated for the extra work that he has been asked to do. He also suspects that the it would be good for the company if the employees could focus on their original duties and provide sound customer service. However, this is a secondary concern. How should this Non-white person go about asking his white male SUPERIOR ADVISOR for either: the correct compensation for the extra work he is doing (which I suspect the other white males are doing, without requiring correct compensation), or asking to do what he has originally agreed to do is in his original job description for the specific pay agreement and benefits that he receives now.

I agree with VGOD's suggestions and will offer this general suggestion myself:

Avoid a vague, ambiguous employee status buy asking questions.

SPECIFICALLY:

Get answers that prove your job title matches the description of your roles and responsabilities.

Too many times non white people are given some "catch all" bull shit "title" that means less and less the more you try to define it:

"assistant director of executive assistence to the administrative personel undersecretary for employee policy directives"

See what I mean?

If you don't understand your job title, keep asking questions until the title matches your roles and responsibilities.

This is how niggers get heart attacks; they end up in these positions where they have all the responsibilities and no fucking authority.

And when something goes wrong, everybody just stands there and watches a nigger meltdown cause he can't figure out who his supervisor is due to the language.

1. Study EVERY WORD in your job title/description.

2. Codify the language

3. Have the supervisor sign off on it

As a non white person in a system of racism White supremacy, people are going to make all kind of statements to you.

Neely Fuller said he was once told he had "no powers of arrest" when he worked as a security guard at the beuro of engraving and printing.

Yeah, you heard me,

They give a nigger a badge and a 357 magnum and then tell him, "you don't have any powers of arrest.

Sheeyatt!

When your lungs are splattered all over the walls by the 357 bullet; your powers of BREATHING have definately been ARRESTED!

If I ain't got the authority to stop somebody from stealing the money; why did you give me this 357 magnum?

For decoration?

The 4th of July?

as an ancient signaling device?

WTF?

When in doubt, ask questions.

This article in the New York times demonstrates a pattern I have noticed regarding discussions of racism in "the media".

Specifically,

1. No person/s are identified as "White" and then quoted regarding the practice of racism on the basis of such Identification.

This is interesting to me because those people with the most credibility at the company (White people) are not required to make statements for the record.

For example, this article lacks a statement like this:

" Biff Tipson who is White says, "there is no racism at kodak..."

This is where an idividual non white person must put in some work and ask White people questions about racism White supremacy.

Sure, they may lie to you, but atleast you have a record of statements made by White people that you can present as part of your investigation when the time comes for some type of legal action.

Race Remains a Difficult Issue for Many Workers at Kodak
By CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH

Craig A. Young, an African-American human resources manager, says that in 22 years at Eastman Kodak he has never faced discrimination.
"My race has not kept my career and pay from progressing at the necessary speed,'' he said. Kodak apparently disagreed; a few years ago, when the company was dispensing checks to African-American employees it decided it had wronged, Mr. Young received $4,000.

Do the bare minimum and get another job. Thats the only way to get better compensation. No Black person should work at a place for than a year or 2 knowing they could get a much better high paying job with the experience they have.

The biggest mistake Black people make is staying at a job for too long.
