I suspect, without tangible evidence, that my own past labor as a dishwasher might possibly have been devalued by lies, exaggeration, and gossip that might have been told by my mostly Filipino co-employees in the dishwashing area of that particular workplace. Such lies might even have had a racist nature, as there were other employees there who were Filipino but whom I swear I was on par with as far as speed was concerned, or in the case of one particular employee, quite a bit faster. I myself am a Chicano, a US citizen, and although a bit slower than two of the Filipino employees, as were all the other employees who washed dishes there, was not slow overall. I myself did not complain about slower employees. But I am not a Filipino, you see.

I heard at least one possible complainer regarding my sweat, an employee from another department who might have muttered “The sight of him sickens me.” (I notice such things.)

I have worked dishwashers jobs long ago I quit both. You have posted before as uno and other nicks you live with your Mom and deride her you failure my rich parents rejected their schizophrenic son. Two of my former employers have offered me employment since my retirement. Quit griping you live .in a society where you have shelter and food despite being totally useless to the economic system. Hope a cure is found for schizophrenia I donate on a regular basis to BCSS hope they find a cure for schizophrenia.
