All brehs have been there.
Whatever you do: never communicate to them when you are in an emotional state (when you´re angry or upset). Don´t send a smart ass e-mail... don´t be sarcastic. Like
@NinoBrown said: you´re black, it will always be your fault, always.
So
when they fukk with you
- Don´t acknowledge it
- Stay SUPER professional
- Stay calm
- When you feel heated, count to 10 and only think: get the money
- Be pro-active: ask colleagues if you can help with anything (this builds some good will at least among your peers)
- Do not discuss how much you hate these people with colleagues: they WILL throw you under the bus to get ahead
We all deal with this. The bullshyt is obvious, and yes it´s definitely connected to you being black. But it´s (still) their world and privilege, so play calm.
