When I joined Stripe in 2020, I was over the moon and felt like this is my dream job when I signed.
It was border line toxic environment. So many new folks were getting hired and being shoe horned into random things.
My manager was new and a bit biased. Kinda racist who assumed white = smart, not so white = not so smart.
Both my grandfathers had passed from Covid after a few months. I was really depressed.
I felt suicidal sometimes. Left a few months after and never felt better.
Have no equity, but no amount of money is worth tolerating passive racism.
- kldx 4y agoThanks for talking about your experiences dealing with it. When I read that, I am glad I was not alone in experiencing day to day biases. I guess the writing was on the wall but I didn't see it when I moved to Europe. Over years, my colleagues have said some mean bigoted things and hr is fine as long as it was said in a sarcastic tone on freedom of speech.
