I was the only Honours student taken aside by faculty & told not to apply for a PhD because I'd never get an academic job.

I am horrified

I'm never going to forget it. It was right before I was to submit my Honours & was applying for a scholarship. Worst. Time. Ever.

Refused to laugh at racist jokes & complained. Office manager yelled at me out of the blue. "Why don't you smile more?!"

Point out all the racist (plus sexist/homophobic/equity) issues at work. Manager reminds me I'm on a short-term contract.
