Microaggressions have formed a string of disturbances in workplace behaviours. Usually, microaggressions are formed from preconceived biases of people of different culture, gender and ages. Author of ‘ Microaggressions in Everyday Life ’ and psychologist Derald Wing Sue describes the behaviour as "put-downs and affronts through interactions towards marginalized groups including those of colour and LGBT groups".

I am currently working with a manager who told his team, “If this campaign isn’t perfect when we launch, some of you will be looking for a new job.” Yikes. That’s almost as inspiring as telling your team, “Terminations will continue until morale improves.” Although the manager didn’t share his threat with us, several of his employees did.

Having taught undergraduate economics for a number of years, I wanted to pen a list of some of the ideas that appear flawed but which form the basic pillars of mainstream economics. Although professional economists are often familiar with the weak points in their discipline, the problem lies in the fact that the ideas are habitually taught to first year university students, and for many of these young people it will be their only exposure to formal economic thought.

A day later, she withdrew from the individual all-around competition as well.
