I feel like I am quietly being undermined at work. Recently my team (of white males) met without me (female minority) to discuss options for reorg of the team. This included moving around my position and creating opportunities for themselves. This is being supported and allowed by leadership. I am not the most junior person on the team. Thoughts?

Don’t be quiet about it. Send emails asking questions, CC people. I won’t say “demand” to be included, but also make it clear it’s unacceptable for them to meet without you to discuss your role and reorg.

Stand up is my best advice. If they’re being quiet, don’t be. And this is not saying be loud, it’s saying be smart, proactive and forceful.
