This app is showing me just how pervasive racism is. I’m highly likely to be working with people who are questioning my presence in my role, who see me as “less than”, who will see any mistake I make as “proof” of my inferiority. Holy shit.

It’s nothing new...find your people (black, white, yellow, red, purple), surround yourself with them, and only interact with the “others” when you have to.

Do you and try to make the world a better place if you have the time or money to give.

Agree MC1. Nothing new. Been in the game almost 20 years and quickly learned that for us we are working with people who would prefer we are not here. Always harder to get staffed, put on significant projects, be asked to lead important initiatives and just in general values as an employee. We are seen as interlopers and diversity hires. With that said tho, I have also come to feel extremely empowered because for this reason as someone mentioned, we have to be twice as good. Always better and as I climbed I watch my peers, some of whom have climbed faster but they are always nervous and scared because they don’t know $h1t and never had to be challenged. it does suck because it’s not just our coworkers but also our clients. A hard road indeed but we can do and do it better.

So true. One mistake I made (while still being new) and it was blown out of proportion. The senior cc’d managers & other colleagues to see what I did.

When are we as a people going to stop depending on others for employment? I haven’t had to deal with racists at the workplace/office politics since I went independent. Unfortunately, a lot of black people in corporate America would rather complain about racism at the workplace than work these jobs for a few years, get the experience, be frugal, save, invest, leave and build a company with other black people. We’re too comfortable in unsustainable conditions.

Independent here as well and I haven't looked back. We still have to rely on clients for work though but if you are good at what you do then they have no choice but to respect you.

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere.

There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
