Not 100% sure if it has to do with race of if my supervising partner has trust issues, but I am tired of being told to draft correspondence and having the whole document changed by my supervising partner. I know I’m an excellent writer and I have others read the documents and they confirm that it’s well written but when I submit it my boss—she strips my voice. I don’t know at this point why put in any effort

This is common. Try not to take it so harshly. I’ve learned over the years that often one person’s writing isn’t completely better than someone else’s in these instances. It’s more about style preference. My work still gets edited heavily by certain more senior partners.

A1 - you were better off being a journo. This is not the profession for pride in authorship.

Actually this sounds like your supervising partner trusts you to come up with the substance that needs to be in that particular correspondence. If she “strips your voice”, well that makes sense if the letter will go out with her name on it then it should sound like her, not you. I think if this happens repeatedly then she keeps going back to you because she likes something about what you are doing. If anything, maybe try to have the drafts sound more like her from the beginning, so she doesn’t have to revise it as much. When correspondence goes out with your name, then it can have your voice.

This. She's criticizing your work based on what she'd say rather than to check if details and points are covered.

Where’s the line between giving your leaders the benefit of the doubt vs this pattern is pretty dang toxic? I don’t want to leave but I’m so exhausted by the gate-keeping, the self-interest of leaders lacking any kind of employee first mentality, and the lip service of “we want to make this the best place to work.” I’m being told I’m under-utilized but when I try to bring more to the table, I’m either given empty promises or immediately dismissed. - I’m severely burnt out on trust-fails.
