Spaces for Practica...One example that I experienced of injustice was during sophomore year at work in LaserQuest. I really enjoyed my job and the people around me and I had built a few friendships with my coworkers. One day, however, my boss came to me and wanted to speak to me privately. He pulled me aside and told me that our newest employee, Alyssa, will be receiving a lower paycheck than the rest of us. Although she had the exact same job as us and had the exact same responsibilities as us she will be paid less to keep the budget balanced. My boss also told me that I shouldn't speak to her about the pay rate so that she won't find out. This put me into a huge conflict with myself because I didn't know how to stay true to myself. Should I tell Alyssa? Should I just keep quiet? Should I give her an anonymous hint? I really lost respect for my boss from then on because of this action that I felt was unjust. Because it was my first "real" job I was too scared and I kept quiet. But I still wish to this day that I had just told Alyssa about what was going on or at least told my boss how I felt about it.
