Summary/Abstract: Workforce diversity is praised as a source of competitive advantage and important organizational aspect in the contemporary business setting. However, its implementation has never been more challenging than today. The prolonged economic crisis creates fertile soil for various extreme movements that try to expel all who do not fit their common patterns. The managers and their companies are not isolated from society. This paper tries to put more light on the discrimination in organizations in Republic of Macedonia based on ethnicity, culture and religion diversity. Results indicate that despite the declared low discrimination, there are still some open questions and possible whitewashing motivated by the concern of the interviewed for their jobs.
