ITA with the whole post. OP don't let some of these responses gas you up. Blackballing is real. Don't lose your career over some "hur"!
Jada1111 do you really think this is a good idea? I mean it's not like we are not disadvantaged enough as black women ?
I hope you are willing to pay OP's bills when the shyte hits the fan. I think this sort of advice is a bit irresponsible.
See the thing I don't get is this. There are a few here in this post saying "Oh I would go to HR" "Raise a Law Suit" etc etc.
If you work in a partiulcar field you live and die on your reputation. Get yourself labelled as a problem and you can kiss your career goodbye. Bosses of corps talk. I have seen it with my own eyes. They will ring each other up for a "quick chat" to circumvent employment laws on bad references. And if they really hate your arse and wants to *** you they will schedule lunch and wine and dine your future employer and lay all your ish out to bare. In this day of company risk management and avoiding law suits black people already suffer a disadvantage so really do you think kicking up a stink is the best way to resolve this.
Ultimately if OP is not happy in this environment it is for her to make those decisions. But over your hair???? This is not the way to loose a bright a promising career for which you can one day shape the future and change the things you didn't like for the future generations.
Our mothers and the black women before us suffered so that we could even step into the workplace. Is this how we will pay them?
Thankyou
