- A Black civil servant was handed a six-figure settlement by the government over allegations of racial discrimination in Whitehall, The Independent can reveal.
Kay Badu, 36, said that he was subjected to relentless bullying at the hands of white managers over the course of three years in the Cabinet Office that left him with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
“I am a survivor of the Cabinet Office; if you’re black or Asian, that’s what you do. You don’t go to work to thrive - you survive.”

Civil service needs complete reform.
When they're not going after Boris, they are hounding their staff.
The Civil Service desperately needs a clear out from top to bottom.
Especially in the US.
Too many racists with old school mindsets. A foreigner once used the N word in the office and still works in the civil service shows you how highly they think of non-white people. especially Black ones.
They need to stop gatekeeping...
Well done for standing up to them.
I don’t know why racist people love to come in the comments and say that someone is a whiner when they have never experienced racial abuse. You people love to invalidate someone’s experiences or trauma, but when it comes to anything that isn’t racial you’re all open arms. It’s extremely telling
What makes them racist? Everyone who lives in this country has the same opportunity
@@IBTU If you really believe everyone in this country has the same opportunity then you are clearly living under a rock. What makes them racist is their response and invalidation of black peoples experiences in regards to racism. The fact that you could even be so uneducated to think that everyone in this country has the same opportunities is just unbelievable. You cannot judge or speak about one’s experiences when you have never been through it. It is wrong and just silly.
@@kimberley.guds. You damn right nobody has the same opportunities when someone is getting 6 figures for getting bullied. As someone who has been bullied before, where do I get mine?
Love to see so many people still so naive about grifters. Jussie Smollett, Bubba Wallace, Michael Brown, Travon Martin.... It's called lying to get paid.
@@IBTU How do you know that to be true? You've been following everyone to know what they have experienced, you want us to believe.
So proud of you for standing upto them. All the best to you. 🙂
So glad you are speaking your truth. This racism that no one talk about. Proud of you.
more likely they asked him to do a job and he couldn't so blame it on race. I think you will find the racism no one talks about is the most prevalent Racism in society is anti White Racism.
So sorry no one believes these grifters any more, I suspect the Civil service bent over backwards to accommodate this person who was hired beyond his capability in all likelihood.
Going through this now at work and grievances ongoing but have witnesses this time 👊🏾
Well done for speaking up! But forgive them they can't help themselves. Thier hearts are wicked.
Let us hold them accountable being racist and hateful is a choice. They’re educated enough to work for the government, they know better.
Yes, speak your truth!!!!! I am going to try and be brave like this this young man and speak on mine.
I have worked in many public sectors (civil servant in justice departments, local councils and NHS) in my 15 years of administrative roles. There is a distinct hiring pattern, people of colour tend to carry the burden and the burnout of the department/organisation, then riddle you with discplinaries over the meagrest incidences or over other employee mistakes. They also tend to only favour people of colour when it comes to added hours along with pay cuts. When this doesn't work they block promotion or a move to elsewhere, as they have coercively controlled your HR employee record. It's shame as your employment always starts off well, until your probation period is over.
You come in desperately hopeful that you won't find yourself in the same situation and then slowly and gradually, you begin questioning your worth and sanity to the point where you're too sick to work, and that's when constructive dismissal kicks in! Being a black woman, and now with a 5 year disability, adding to that beautiful mix of the discriminative intersectionality of race, gender and disability. This is how you maintain such oppression.
I've lost so much faith in the UK's institutional employment systems, tbh hearing my parents experiences of yes, similar work traumas, this shouldn't be a surprise. Yet it still devastating hurts to a point where you are numbed. I've been diagnosed with PTSD from standing up for myself or doing my job too confidentiality. As a result, I now show no personality, I no longer authentically smile unless I am outside of the office and still I have to careful when it comes to work social events.
Being from the milennial generation, I now see a similar dynamic, updated by the pandemic, in that hybrid employers are being selective on who has to now physically be in office, any guess which race pools they would pick on?! Sigh, I'm hoping the oppressive employers will see their oversight (I won't hold my breath!), understand our true rebellion to getting back in office is regarding lack of work/life balance, and rebuilding self-worth from home. This will pave the way for progressive employers, who don't always give in to their biases or insecurities but just want the results that will maintain there businesses.
I’m currently going through horrendous bullying and harassment in the civil service
Powerful and inspiring. So glad he wasn't crushed by that corrosive environment. Reminds me of the quote, "Bury them in the grave they dug for you."
I’m in the civil service currently being horrendously bullied. It’s had me off sick for months. I’m black
I too went through this last year… at DHSC, have you thought about raising a grievance and making sure to code it as BULLYING & HARASSMENT. Speak to your doctor, OH log EVERYTHING
Well done to you, pure respect let your voice be heard, ignore the negative comments it’s to be expected from the clueless. I wish you all the best on life’s journey ❤️
Please can i have the name of your solicitor
Stand against racism
You are 100% correct every organisation
I faced the same issue here in another part of the civil Service , I’m experiencing it but it’s a v subtle racism you can’t call it out outright. Awful people and behaviours
I’m at the department of health. Write EVERYTHING DOWN and start to make links. Pay attention. Eventually you might have enough to make a formal grievance and show the links. Connect the dots.
Every industry is like this by the way about “we promote multicultural”diversity.
They employ enough to make their data look diverse…
Yep I going through this
Post Office scandal prophecy.
❤✊🏿
♥️✊🏻
It's not clear whether he worked for the Civil Service or was in the Cabinet Office? Cabinet Office is in the scheme of things describing the Office around the Prime Minister. So for clarity's sake, which was it?
He’s talking about racism in the civil service and that’s all you could pull from this video. You sound like you might be one of the civil servants he’s talking about… love to look for faults where there aren’t any… p.s. Cabinet Office is a corporate headquarters of the Civil Service
Geez a break way this pish
What? Have to go through receving millions of pounds for perceived hurt feelings?
Racism and bullying is not perceived hurt feelings. How daft of you.
@@JenYin.Of course it is. If I deem what you just said to be racist and bullying then what else would it be?
Bullying, you could argue that me using the word daft is but race you’d be pushing it as you don’t know my race nor do I know yours.
Frank Hester's recent racist comments and the fact he still has an OBE while Wileys was revoked is a prime example of how racism is thriving in this country…
@@JenYin. The current situation of things is that if someone perceives something as racist then it is. This is the world people such as yourself have created.
And we're just assuming this guy is being truthful? He may have just Smollett'd himself into a 6 figure payday.
...yes and he might not.
So he went through all this judicial grief and character assassination for a bag of money.
Only someone in denial or without any real experience of racism comes out with this as a first response.
As someone who is black and currently works in the civil service I’ve had this discussion with at least 6 black colleagues in the past 3 months. This is a cultural issue in this country.
Poor me, poor me, pour me a drink 🥃
nonsense
Who asked you ? 'Nonsense' as if you were there! Ignorant.
Hire a whiner
Yeah! Because you’re too white to be on the receiving hand…. White people created feedback and complaints forms but not to be filled. Right? Hypocrite! English people are hypocrites of the highest order!
Typical Brits, Always in denial mode. RACISM IS UNHEALTHY Lali or lady gaga. It takes so much energy to be racist and full of hate towards others because of the colour of their skin. Save that energy to love and do good in humanity. Feel sorry for your poor mother for giving birth to another racist.
@@Lilas_lilas cry more
@@shaddrakor9377 don’t live in a white country. We have enough foreigners . Go where there is no racism like a brown culture. 😂🤣
@@shaddrakor9377 I guess you make up stories in your head and believe them. You have no common sense or sense of reality. I don’t believe you are white.
Always the sob story
