I won’t say what company but it’s a fortune100.
An hour-long discussion on race, equity, and equality turned out to be an hour-long panel of liberal talking points and white shaming and how everything is unfair for black people. The tipping point for me was when I was being lectured by a young male on equity and why black people need to be overcompensated for now and given more simply because they are black and historically have been disadvantaged. At point point a panelist even mentioned how silence is complicity.
The ultimate irony is that this hour-long discussion was supposed to create an environment where people could speak about issues they face. If I were bold enough to raise my hand and say how this hyperfocus on one race over another actually is counterproductive and makes me less safe/secure, I would be fired immediately for being a bigot.
I genuinely do not understand how someone can simultaneously tell me I need to engage in a dialogue with them to understand their past/current challenges, while at the same time having my life story assumed for me and summarized solely on the color of my skin.
Idk if anyone’s gonna read this I just needed to vent. I live my life by two simple mantras: “do unto others as you would have done unto you” and “judge me for the content of my character, not the color of my skin.” Sadly both of those ideals are lost in the mud, and bringing them back up is now is me just using it as an excuse for my whiteness :(
Feels bad man
Same here. EVP suggesting we read “White Fragility” and the racism seminars being in 2 weeks. I’m labeled as a “high value employee” but no one can survive the work mob.
I was genuinely afraid to even post this, for fear that it would get back to me somehow and I would be fired just for having my own thoughts.
I’m legit terrified of what’s next if we stay on this course
Well - I think we will end up having a hot civil war or war with China soon. Thats what all this shit is being set up for. Its too centrally rolled out for it not to be part of a coordinated action.
The Democrats are doing all this shit to have a chance in November. They will willingly destroy everything that made America great in order to get power. Thats all this shit ever was about.
And they are useful idiots for China spreading their influence. Real idiots.
On the money
Same. Fuck it I'll sell hot dogs if I have to.
man i wish i had fuck you money so i could publish a book titled "black fragility". that book is the biggest of bs.
Selling out their kids' country for fancy pants and lollipops. Sick!
Sue. Sue. Sue.
Same. Hi-potential and promotable labeled on my annual review the last five years straight but all promotions have gone to women and minorities. I quit applying and was asked during my mid-year review last week why. I flat-out told my boss I was tired of playing a role in a game that I'm set up to lose. dead silence over the phone...next topic...
