My Name is Margaret (Maya Angelou).Hello readers, this blog is about the short story that author Maya Angelou called "My name is Margaret". It is a tale about two black female servants( Margaret and Miss Glory) working for a rich, old, wealth fat white woman, that can't have any children named Ms. Voila Cullinan. So both of the servants have been working for the women for some time now, and one day Ms. Cullinan broke the number one rule, Don't display any form's of racism, derogatory statements about an black person. Let alone right in front if their face! Oh no that's wrong thing to do, so be careful go at your own risk. What if this happens at your job,what do you do?
Because it is hard enough being black, let alone being a black women at that. So she had to stand for what she believed in, so she made her point and made Ms. Culllian feel some pain by breaking her favorite dishware.
This is my store of when I worked at TJMAXX backroom unloading and separating the merchandise for the whole store. So working in the backroom with conditions that may have been harmful to your health, because we was working under an Grocery Store. There was several leaks coming from the ceiling of the store dispelling some sort of liquid. They had someone rig up sort of drainage system piece together with an tarp , connected with holes draining the liquid into a trash can. So a few months passed an they still haven fix the leaks in the ceiling. So there was a day in the summer when the leaks start pop up in areas where the tarp wasn't at and the liquids would drop on your head. I went back to management to tell them about the new leaks, and they simply said "Go back to work!". So I stormed away angry about what they just had said to me, without any regards about the health of their workers or my discomfort. So i when into one of then bents that we sort hats into and put it on my head. Some coworkers were saying "Oh your getting in trouble". I reply " I don't care until they fix these leaks this is what i will be doing". Then here comes the store manager walking into the backroom, she says 'Hey take that hat off!". I reply " No until yall fix these leaks I will be wearing the store merchandise. Because i don't know what in the stuff leaking on my head!. She gave me a blind stare and ask me to walk her to the office. When we arrived in office she said that she understood why i was mad. She then said that she would allow me to wear my own hat until they can fix the leaks in the backroom.
