Now that I have the app…bwahaha.

Today’s my last day at my crazy job. Let’s hope in my new job, I don’t get called a negro! Lol.

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what happened with this situation so here goes: on the 8th day of BHM, I was sitting in a meeting with a male colleague waiting for our director. We were discussing a program title with the word Negro in it. That in itself was fine.

Where it went left was when he said “well, I guess this is the only time I can say the word Negro.” I gave him the nastiest look and tone when I explained to him how sundown towns are a thing and I have to worry about them when driving to Michigan to see my family.

Should have been left there. He then leaves the meeting, goes to the only other Black person on the team and repeats the EXACT same thing he told me! My Black colleague comes to my office and recounts the story, and I replied, wide eyed, “he said that shit to you too??”

I had to report it to HR, where they did an “investigation” that resulted in not a damn thing. I was told to contact them if there was any retaliation afterward. I asked for advice on how to move forward and got the same scripted “only tell us if there is retaliation.” My boss stopped giving me work

So I started interviewing and here we are, new job later. My boss didn’t even tell me goodbye - he stopped speaking to me after I gave notice. The new HR manager knows and is concerned, so we shall see what happens but yep, that’s the story!

Parched like they are stranded in the damn desert. I don’t understand. Especially in the workplace.

I know, it doesn’t make sense but ugh. I’m in legal, going to another law firm, but going back into DEI work and getting out of internal comms. That job was a doozy - boss had no experience and was insecure with me around. 🫠

Thank you! I reported the individual to HR and they still have a job so…I can’t wait to have the exit interview in an hour. I told them off in the written version of the survey.
