Please tell me that this isn’t just me. I feel like I have to jump through more hoops and get more flack from “us” in the workplace. I would think that we would want to support one another instead of making things more difficult. Is this just me?

Honestly I hate that we do this to each other. In all aspects of life. It’s lame.

I’ve never had the pleasure of having people who look like me on my team/department. So I can’t say but I feel like sometimes we hold each other to a higher standard. We just expect so much of each of us and are harder on us when given these opportunities.

Youre not alone I've been slightly hazed by an African supervisor. He's directly told me to just respect the 'whities' and do as I'm told after asking for clarification on a task. In an attempt to look out for me I guess but consistently talks down to and over me in both public and private meetings. Gota pray hard for that dude but learned some good lessons

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging.

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
