>>198162i remember having a conversation with a shitty engineering manager that disliked me (black-asian)
and he said i needed to buy my own phone because we are taking away the company phones from the desks and everyone else was okay with using the cell phone so i needed to give him my number
i said i didnt have one of course
he started trying to convince me that i should buy a phone for safety because it is a 'lifeline' and if i got in trouble i would need to call someone
i said 'i dont have anyone to call' and then he let me keep my company desk phone
