and I didn’t want to say anything negative about her. After our conversation, the manager of the entire practice messaged me. They said that her superior spoke to them about potentially switching managers. I’m nervous because while I would like a manager with more experience, I appreciate the mentorship that my manager offers as a fellow black woman. I also wouldn’t want to say anything negative about her.
It’s really not uncommon that your manager can’t help you in the day to day. I’ve never had a manager who did what I do. I work in marketing analytics so my manager has always been more general marketing.
But at this point what are you considering? You’re asking wwyd but didn’t give options. I guess all you can do is wait to see what comes of it or ask why the potential change and take the opportunity to give your POV.
I feel you. Been in similar positions and haven't successfully figured out how to change them. But what I can offer is that it's worth putting feelers out (either at your company or in your LinkedIn universe) to find others with similar tasks to commiserate with. Sometimes there are networking groups on LI, or even BRG groups in your company where you meet those who have similar things going on. When you find them it can be so helpful to have as a buddy to connect with...
From what you shared it seems like your conversation is being used to harm this woman
They have already spoken among themselves and decided to separate the two of you. They do not like black people working together
I know it was hard due to shock in the moment, but when you did not defend her as a leader and you did not state you were happy to be on her team - they picked that up as “evidence” to use against this woman
Switching you away from her team will be part of how they continue to harm her (and - trust and believe they already are harming her if her superior was so bold as to say that to you)
You gave them a really huge bullet to do her dirty. A bullet from you is huge because you’re a black person and so what they are drumming up “can’t be racism”
Maybe I am wrong, but my pattern recognition is sounding an alarm
