Shira has worked for Drift Creamery (a dairy manufacturers) for 5 years, in an entry level marketing position. Although she has had positive reviews, she has never been successful in applying for a promotion. She has now applied five times.

When Shira asks HR and her manager to discuss the matter, she is not provided with a reason or feedback. Shira is the only racialized employee in her department. When she asks for a meeting with the senior manager to try to resolve matters (and see if there is specific training or skills she could improve), she is informed that she will be let go on a without cause basis.
