This is so messed up to me. This woman was a news anchor who had to ask her boss if she could stop straightening her hair once she had a baby. After he said yes and she did, they called her into the office and told her it wasn't pretty enough. How is this still legal in this day and age? Have you faced hair discrimination at work? My clients give me nothing but compliments no matter what style I wear.

I really do hope that someday our natural hair isn’t so looked down upon, but it won’t be anytime soon. Something that has been going on forever and it really is sad that she went through that after really trying to make sure everything was good. It is really dependent on your location, but that shouldn’t matter at all.

just going to leave this here....

this picture reminds me that pendulums swings. As awful as that Mississippi news director was, pictures show he was wrong.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
