Just found out I was purely a diversity hire, who replaced another black individual who left the group due to how isolated they felt (so do I) 😑😐

I don’t feel all that comfortable- I was only recently told this, but I’ve been here for 8 months thinking something was off and indeed it was.

I had a similar experience, it was horrible. I understand how you feel, I ended up leaving after 6 months.

How did you find that out though

Another POC on an adjacent team informed me- they have worked there about 1.5yrs experiencing the same thing

Did the hiring manager tell you this directly? This must be a very confusing situation for you.

Another POC who used to work on the team (but now works in an adjacent team) told me. The POC who told me, told me they left to die to feeling isolated
