re: 3 ways Black workers say their white colleagues and managers can support them

From my work experience, any black employee that needed to be released for substandard work was damn near impossible to let go. Tons of paperwork, documented accounts of specific events, etc. had to be done in order to fire them

God, isn’t this the truth.

I’m one of 4 white people in my department, with 5 Hispanic/Latino employees, and one black woman.

9:1 and guess who the company kowtows to? Guess who is also the person who calls out the most? Is most delayed on her projects? Who came to work last year and wanted an entire meeting designated to discuss Juneteenth and its impact on the still allegedly marginalized communities of color?

I’ll say this: the brown people in my department have less desire to put up with her shite than the white people do, but HR of course won’t touch her with a 10 ft pole.

I’m fricking tired of any person who says I need to do something for them bc of their skin color. frick off. Do better at your job and in life and stop acting like you have a right to take from others.
