My wife got fired today

[BlackRifle]

And if anyone has any connections to a good job in the medical field my wife is looking! I can give you all her info. Or she can do business stuff too.

My son is a R.N.for Valir Hospice. Do you want me to ask him if they need anyone?

God do things for reasons we don't know....

You two been thru worst, makes you stronger. She'll find something...even better. Don't panic, have a nice dinner and give her some emotional support. Things will get better. Better things lay ahead for you two.

I really appreciate everyone for the support. It’s very comforting knowing I can come on here and be apart of such a great community of men and women. We disagree about things sometimes but in the end most of us all want the same things. Just know how much it means to me. God bless you all.

Yeah, but just try firing a "tribal" person from an office full of whites with no reason given and see what happens.

I'm part Indian and still wouldn't want to work for one . . . Indians get let go all of the time for various reasons at IHS. Sometimes not often enough though.

Same thing happened to my wife in Pawhuska 2yrs. ago. It really sucks .No reason just you're through here.

That's about the time (maybe a little after) the tribe took over the clinic from IHS.

My youngest son worked at Riverwind casino. He said that there were several times that a group of employees of all levels were fired for no reason. One day they got him too. He went in as usual and was told to turn his ID and stuff in and go home. He was not given a reason.

I don’t know if it would apply because it’s tribal, but is unemployment an option? Isn’t there some federal law to protect employee rights?

Tribes have their own rules, that why they can advertise for employees and specify "Native Americans" preferred.

If you were hiring and put out an ad that said "Whites Preferred", you'd be on national TV. and proclaimed to be the devil.

I'm 100% for tribes hiring who they want, I'd just like to see everyone get the same set of rules. (or better yet, no rules)

Keep the faith, may seem bleak right now, but it will work out for the best. My wife and I just went through her job loss just before the covid hit the U.S. Keeping you in our prayers.

The BIA, IHS and tribes can all give hiring preference to Indians . . . it has definitely been misused in the past to hire a less qualified person just based on them being Indian.

That's fine with me.
Now can I please give preference to the kinds of people I want to hire? Seems only fair....
