I managed a Black woman. She was being harassed by an executive. I tried to intervene. It got worse. It was racist. I saw it with my own eyes. My boss saw it with his own eyes. She went to HR. I supported her. My boss supported her. I was fired. My boss was fired. No one stood up for us. Everyone cut contact with us.
The "work family" people really don't get it.
- dkjaudyeqooe 5y agoThat's shocking but not surprising. When people site "a feeling of belonging" for why they take full time jobs, it just plain creeps me out. It's the inverse of family behavior: people use their power over you solely for their own benefit, usually in an immoral way.
