Have y'all seen that video floating around TikTok asking: If you were in a conference room and didn't know who was walking in, would you prefer it to be a white man or a white woman?

Which would y'all pick? 👀.

I have been in corporate for only three years now, and as a black woman, I'd honestly pick the white man🤣. In 3yrs of corp, I was laid off by a YT woman pretending to be my friend while on vacay, dismissed for sharing my perspective on Black topics, and threatened for being quiet.

Is it true that this time of year is the worst time to apply/ try to get jobs? Looking to pivot out of a contract I got after being laid off in August by 2023.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
