dont conform to slavery, your purpose is greater than serving a system

The MISSION to create a new world set sail on Friday, November 22, 1633. Father Andrew WHITE erected a symbol of death and established the Slave Province of Maryland. I'm say, do you see where this is going ... Much love from Charm City

I don’t think Corporate America is designed for black people to win. I saw a flaw in the department I was working in. I wrote a description for a new role and submitted it to HR. HR implemented the position. I applied to be the supervisor for the position I created. After 15 years experience in the industry and graduating with a 3.8gpa MBA, they told me I needed more experience. I trained my manager who had a high school diploma and had never worked in the industry. We have to learn to be okay with creating and supporting our own as much as we can.

[@carpballet]

Same thing happened to me. I must be mistaken as black. Lol

[@joshuaramsey6172]

Should have left!

[@docglock1653]

Sameeeeee happened to me recently!!!! But what I’m learning is that they want someone who knows nothing about the company off the street that they can mold and manipulate to do their work… if they hire you they will have to deal with your backlash and resentment to do what they want… essentially they want a puppet not a leader

[@dpeasehead]

@@carpballet As has happened to other non black people. Corporations are authoritarian institutions with roots in the slave and colonial systems. There were poor whites in the Americas and in other colonies during the worse days of chattel slavery and jim crow and apartheid. That doesn't mean that poor whites and poor blacks were equally targeted by race based systems of oppression, or that poverty made them allies any more than wealth made rich or middle class blacks allies of rich or middle class whites. If class trumped race as many would have us believe then world history and many current societies like the US, Brazil, and South Africa would be vastly different.

What Males you stay in such a toxic environment..I guess money is worth more than your well-being

[@ceofounder]

Corporations are like Casinos! The house always win! Employees are proverbial pawns on the chess board in Corporate America!

[@dpeasehead]

@ceofounder: People seem to forget why the 3/5ths of a person clause was inserted in the constitution and that it benefitted the captains of the dominant industry of the time. In modern America the corporation is a person, money is speech, but saying black lives matter stirs anger and controversy. People and nation states and societies show you who they are and what, if anything, they stand for.

[@healthyselves2348]

ThankU ThankU ThankU, I often wondered how real, honest, strong Black men survive in those emasculated corps. Peace

[@cameronmanning8606]

I saw 5 different therapists after 25 years of corporate. The best one was the black therapist

[@wandak1889]

When I first started my locs 15 years ago I got more push back from Black Females in leadership positions than any other! The stress is real but as I got older and realize that they are no better than me! I no longer tolerate disrespect. I’m a Consultant now and it’s works miracles I’m not tied down. I can pick and choose the projects I’m comfortable with working and not afraid to end it early if need be!

[@otodidact9923]

I wonder why that is as well. My own mother was insistent on telling me I was going to have a hard time finding work because of my locs. I simply reminded her that if a company is discriminating me or doesn’t want to hire me because of my locs, I wouldn’t want to work there anyway.

[@wandak1889]

Not a Black man but I’m a Black woman and have experienced the same shit in Investment real estate. After I left that company I told myself I would never work for a white company again unless I OWNED EQUITY OR SIGNIFICANT SHARES

[@dylanhill1640]

Knowing how to walk each day in a minefield is a skill. I enjoyed corporate life but it was rather fake. Working for myself has allowed me more freedom to explore other avenues.

[@marcuse423]

I did experience unfairness in corporate America, but after learning the ropes and navigating the environment it is par of the course. You have to vet accordingly and call out things as soon as they happen. There is always a time and place for everything.

[@RayFontsBetting]

Navigate the ropes 👍 couldn’t have said it better. It comes with experience and making mistakes but if you wanna succeed you’ll change and learn to navigate stay low in the grass like a snake .🐍

[@Tree-thingz]

This is all true of corps. "Go along to get along" runs out after probation. I don't play "corn hole" nor do I care to participate in decorating office/cubicle challenges for the holiday.

[@enobishop1419]

I appreciate the truth that is so overlooked if not worshipped. The take away is to be authentic... it is what's truly valuable today... even more than disagreement ... our superpower is to be a better version of self. Thank you guys 🔥 ❤

[@MotherOfCivilization317]

Well, they're blacklisting us too Brotha! Melanated women arent promoted easily unless we align with their agenda.

[@TheBusinessBully]

Clearly. I’m not talking about exceptions. I’m talking stats and facts. You have to be a willing participant and there are too many who are

So if you shouldn't be in corporate America and you should want more than essential work..what else is their left for most people besides independent

[@youngw1ze]

It's the exact same in the blue collar world... I've had people bad mouth my work....then turn around and take credit for it...🤷

[@Reve_87]

I hate working for corporate he's not lying

[@robertwells2032]

"Sexy single moms"? Bruh. You had me up to that...

[@TheBusinessBully]

They were lining up millions to judge Black women by their bodies, as if that’s all they bring to the table. And let’s not forget, the target demo was single moms aged 18-34 making $30K a year-basically, women trying to make ends meet while they’re getting objectified. So, which narrative would you pick: empowerment or exploitation? 🤔

[@MotherOfCivilization317]

Comment, he actually responds! 🙌🏾💯

[@TheBusinessBully]

I try my best!!!

[@escobarinc.1805]

I dont know. I'm one of 3 black VPs at my Bank (top 4 Bank) in my market. Small sample size but we're thriving and leading by example.

[@Lveyrself]

[@flyyorkcity5826]

Working in corporate america now and the answer is an emphatic: HELL NO!

[@TS-hr5ox]

In the case of the man being interviewed, his experiences reminds me of that episode of the wayans brothers when Shawn got that job writing jingles or something like that. And his whyte co-worker was stealing his jingles and using them as his own, and that movie sorry to bother you. Your hard work keeping the numbers up, was the reason she was able to do whatever she wanted. You were bringing in the numbers so they panicked when you started to put yourself first, because now they have to work if you’re not there to keep the numbers up. Classic whyte behavior. Reap the benefits our hard work and while we ourselves have nothing to show for it. Document! Keep note of everything they do and say. that way when they approach you or you want to take them to court, you have evidence that you were being discriminated against. While others were allowed to do what they pleased.

[@dpeasehead]

@TS-hr5ox: I have always documented my work and I have never been in management. It only takes one manager with or without the help of a co-worker or co-workers of any race or gender to turn your low key 9-5 or second or midnight shift into a stressful battle zone. I DO NOT let anyone know that I do so, or the nature of my documentation. People have found the hard way when their accusations and supporting documentation don't match. No matter how many people that it brings in from elsewhere, America will never evolve beyond the mentality of its plantation origins because only those who think like the old slave masters are allowed to rise and to rule.
