It’s hard being the only blank person on a project, cultural language barriers are strong and annoying af. I just don’t feel valued or embraced or anything. Instead I feel under minded… what consulting firms do you all work in? Any for healthcare?

I’m sorry, are there any other black employees in your practice who you can connect with?

In the company as a whole, yes within my segment, no not any on my side of the segment anyway

That’s sad you feel undervalued at work. I am joining a consulting firm in a few weeks but it isn’t in healthcare.

I’m curious if you’re open to sharing: What are the language barriers? What do you need to feel valued at work? I think it’s important to keep in mind that work is a shared environment to meet a particular end and you receive compensation in exchange for your labor. Everyone is generally putting on their work face for the particular office culture and they’re different outside of work when they’re relaxed and can be their true self. I think sometimes some Black people assume everyone else is not putting on their work face, so it makes it feel more isolating when you think you’re the only one doing it.

I don’t know you so I’m not sure if it’s the case with you but I’ve worked with some Black women who express feeling disappointed that they’re not embraced while they’re also not being collegial in the workplace and the truth is if you’re not authentically collegial and friendly, people are less likely to embrace you. I know it can be hard to be collegial when you’re not comfortable in a space though. I hope you’re able to find areas of your life where you feel valued.

I’m experiencing this. Short projects bad experiences . I’m ready to leave consulting asap and go back to a full time role
