Why am I the only Black woman here at this offsite leadership meeting? 😩

People keep talking about how friendly and extroverted I am and how they love it but why do I feel like it’s a microaggression? Am I overthinking?!

Sis, I am leading a project that is all “us”. Earlier this week a young man told me I didn’t have right to ask why a deliverable is 3 days late. He yelled “stand down” at me like we are in the military. He work is consistently TRASH.

At you know what to expect….

Good luck

You are absolutely NOT overthinking it. Please trust your instincts

You’re probably not safe

Scratch that - you’re not safe

Keep up the show, but remember that being too friendly tends to invite disrespect

You are overthinking it. As someone who works not around us, others just aren’t as complimentary as we are to each other so you’re probably a breath of fresh air.

Anyone have experience waiting on an offer while having received another within 1 org? I have been interning for 5 months. My manager has been extending me as I expressed I didn’t want my current role but need the job.

She has been extremely open to assisting me in finding other roles internally. Recently, I expressed a desire to stay on the team as a “full time.” The day before I got the offer I was invited to interview for another role. I will take the other offer if extended. What now?

Curious what system everyone uses for cataloging books. We use the free version of Koha and no longer use the Dewey decimal system but catalog by genre, ie. mystery, science fiction, contemporary, action, historical fiction, etc. I took over the library after this format was set in place.
