Got into work this morning and started to check my emails, i had a general email titled paint name, i did not open it and went on checking the others.
At about 2 oclock one of our production managers rang me to ask about my oil orders, during the conversation he asked if i had read the email about paint, i said no, have a read he says and see what you think.
(We also deal in the production of special paints)
Well, long story short, from today we can no longer request paint in the colour of Black, black paint will be given another name which is being discussed by the works directors............they say the word black offends and needs to be changed............
I am not racist in anyway and live and let live is my outlook..but this mail came out 10 days after the company appointed a new vice president.........who was born in South Africa.
Madness......pure madness.
