Larry Has Been a Systems Analyst at a Software Company

question 79

Multiple Choice

Larry has been a systems analyst at a software company for six years. Although he works hard, gets favorable performance reviews, takes night classes in business management, and has applied for promotions, his coworkers always get the promotions instead. Larry asked his coworkers about this, and one of them said, "Don't you realize? This management will never promote someone like you." This supports Larry's concern that he may be a target of discrimination because he is black; other talented employees are black, but no black employees have moved into management positions. Larry decides to discuss the problem with the human resource manager. If he can't find a satisfactory solution that way, with which federal agency could he file a complaint?
