Take the small details in acount

Hi my friend,

How are you today?

This Sunday I enjoy a sunny day in Madrid Mountains.

It is a lovely day.

I have been re- reading a Times article about something I wanna comment with you.

To be aware of this subject it will help you to recognize and prevent its effects.

Do you ask yourself why does your boss ignore you? You are not able to explain it but you feel you are not considered at work. You feel insignificant.

You cannot avoid this feeling, even if you cannot tell why.

Now we can explain some aspects of this situation.

Have you hear about micro-inequities? Micro-inequities is a term coined by a MIT professor at 1973. Now Stephen Young, a former consultant of JP Morgan Chase is addressing audience in all fields to emphasize the importance of this concept.

How can we define micro inequities?” Microinequities puts a name on all the indirect offenses that can demoralize a talented employee.” (Times, 03/20/2006)

Let me tell you some examples.

You try to tell something to other person and he or she is checking the mail box or the sms in the mobile.

In your department your boss speaks to you with some distant and give a big hug greeting to other college.

In a meeting, you give an idea and it is ignored.


These kind of small details create a feeling of discomfort. You begin to consider that you are not welcome at work.

You feel they do not acknowledge your work

This phenomenon is currently costing millions of dollar to companies in low productivity, stress, depression and claims.

This is a kind of moobing. Lawyers tell that people is claiming things as “being not considered” or “ to feel the group is not accepting them”.

We should take this matter seriously.

To be or to feel you are significant is a basic human need.

Are you a boss? Are you suffering micro inequities?

IBM, Wells Fargo and others are taking trainings to prevent these misbehaviors.

Do not wait until be suit or need to suit and you will need a lawyer.

We already can help you to prevent this microinequities.

First at all, open your eyes to what happen around you.


Do it now before to suffer the unpleasant effects of these small details.
