Ask for advice on bleaching so maybe you can be eligible next time? Honestly though, secure a job elsewhere either internally or externally and then leave. Don't stay and let them use you as a positive contribution to their diversity data while they continue to hold you back.

I completely get how you're feeling. I eventually ended up working to rule until I secured a much better position and left. Admittedly it still took me a while to get over as I really miss my old colleagues and felt hard done by. You could always take the approach of getting an external offer and then seeing if they'll fight to keep you? Sometimes just have to be tactical about it and corner them.

Asking the manager why didn’t I qualify just for the constructive criticism and then peace out ✌🏽 …

Oh nooo… they trying to get you to do free work… I honestly wouldn’t even try to take that on especially if the other person of the same position didn’t have to do so… that’s just rude

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance
