Question

You are a committee member in your department visioning strategies to value and reward

outstanding employees. You are the only one who is a member of minority group in the

committee, and you are pleased to be part of it as this has a positive image on

performance evaluation. At the first meeting, tasks are assigned, and your task is to

survey minority members for their input. Over the next few weeks, you discover that

several committee meetings have been held without notifying you and without your

knowledge. When you inquire the reason, two committee members tell you that survey

information was not needed at that point in the meetings, and you will be notified of the

updates in General meeting when scheduled. You also notice a report on the suggestion

program that you have never seen before. When you ask one of the members about the

report and the updates, he says it is just a draft he and two others have produced. You

perceive that you are being ignored by the committee and doubting to continue working

with them or not!
