"I loved working for this company; however, there is too much favoritism amongst management and workers, and a blind eye is turned when brought to someone's attention or they say maybe you're the issue. Also, not fair when they let someone go, others let go for same reason and unemployment was approved, I believe this was due to racism from the local HR department."
