Barareh Norouzian alleges that she made several complaints to the YWCA Toronto Human Resources about the discrimination she believed she was experiencing from her boss. She alleges that her complaints were disregarded.
Barareh Norouzian alleges that the YWCA Toronto told her “sometimes some employees does not fit in some work environment cause of their age, as it is in your case, this organization might not be a good fit for you, this kind of jobs are for people way older than you, gained more experience through out their life as they aged, have proven communication and interpersonal skills, and need this salary to run their family, and to pay their bills.” And the respondent continued telling me things like “as you are still young, and I am sure you have many other work opportunities out there that you could apply.”
“She (YWCA Toronto) is constantly changing the policy in her favour and she is changing it consciously. In this shelter I have learnt how to be a manipulative worker, how to lie, how to twist words, and how to deny in order to carrying on my work witch is against my ethical belief” said Barareh Norouzian.
