How tough is it for black men in the corporate world

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I hear a lot of bad things. My office is small and cool, and I don't feel any indifference now, but I'd imagine that changes working for a big Corp. I know what it feels like with few black people around at events.

I keep telling myself to start on some side hustles. Really want to get into real estate to avoid that affirmative action bs

Just be prepared with documentation, logic, and email trails to back you up in case a cac gets out of line. Be mindful of any c00ns because they snitch on you and actively try to get you in trouble with your managers. I had a c00n manager with the white wife and threw me completely under the bus in front of his massa...

When I did contracting, I was at a call center where it was 90% black, it was heaven, we all were vibing....hardly any c00ns...

Once I found permanent corporate gigs, that changed and I was 1 of 5 brehs in the tech side..sadly they were some flag-saluting Desert Storm Vet brehs who I didn't connect with at all..

Just using the resources of work to build out my business and bounce in due time.....

I say use the funds from the job to build your side jobs/hustles, then once the earnings are equal, then you can decide to make your outside job your living...

Do your job to the best of your ability, be cordial, limit interaction with women, and go home. It's going to be what it's going to be, who wants to go to work everyday on some paranoid sh1t? I'm not living like that...

Just have manners around the office and use your white (proper speaking) voice.

Keep the haters off your back and paper in stacked.

I can turn up and be an ass at home. That's why I get paid, to do just that!

While in the office, it's down to business & work.

It's not so bad in big corps, just follow natural nikka instincts and keep to yourself.

However if you do want to get promoted and move up, you are going to have to play the game , and if you have to be told what the game is, or have no intentions of playing it...then come over and have a seat with the rest of us

That is why I stopped doing Happy Hour after work, someone take some shyt personal after hours and use it against you forever...

It depends on the kind of company you work for. If you're a skillful and valuable employee, they're not gonna really give you any problems. And if they do, you can always move around to a different company.

You should be striving to have something on the side though.

Sometimes I hate how these mufukkas wanna be in my face all the time
Like damn, let me do some work
But it's ups and down depends on where you work
and you have to deal with mostly women

 

[King Khufu]

You know how stupid you going to sound talking like a street guy in a office surrounded by cacs? Corporate Thugging Ass nikka, till another brother runs the company then you going to have to laugh at yourself nasallying up your voice for whites to feel "safe."

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Be a man in the corporate world brehs.

The corporate world nowadays is completely catered to women and fakkits. If you’re not one of those, then you have no business being there.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

My bad experiences have always been with messy women on the low end and bulldykes trying to flex authority on the high end

Never really had issues with dudes in a corporate environment

Working in finance it's been hit or miss, typically I keep my headphones in and don't really fukk with anyone on a major level. As far as growing in the field like any other field you deal with prejudice and preconceived ideas because you're black.

 

[MikelArteta]

Be smart be wise. Don’t joke around , trust no one. Do your work and bounce

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

Like others have said...reliable work ethics and minimize social interactions

there nothing wrong with the goals of affirmative action, the problem is its broadness

Spoiler

what frustrates me is that a Blackman said the thing hinted/mentioned in this thread, but had his Blackness happily questioned because the priority was to cape for a celebrity millionaire. So sadly yet again, too many of us show that living under white supremacy isn't that bad because we're able to flipflop about the difficulties of our plight
