I lost out on a six figure job with potential to 130,000$ because I don’t feel comfortable around white ppl

This was absolutely horrifying to watch when it first dropped.

This reminds me of myself when I was younger.

I've turned down jobs that either paid a bigger salary or had better workplace benefits because I didn't work in places that were either majority white, or the bosses and people calling the shots are White.

It wasn't due to being uncomfortable but rather a pride thing. I don't know, naturally, the thought of taking orders and being subservient to cacs till this day has just never sat well with me. Everything just clicks differently when working among Black people, compared to Cacs.

Although I've made a living in the food industry, as a culinary sous chef, to be exact, my field is different in that it's easier to find work environments where Black people are the majority within the culinary and food industry.

I sense a lot of y'all likely work in corporate, cubicle office, etc type of settings which tend to be filled with white coworkers and bosses outnumbering Black people, so you ain't got no choice but to submit some pride for your financial livelihoods.

Those cacs would have eventually tried to get you out the paint…

U did the right thing by retreating.

I don’t trust none of these cacs in the workplace like that or even outside.

I say Hi and Bye and that’s it

I find that whenever you compromise your morals and standards there’s inevitable lesson attached meant to show you why it wasn’t worth it

You already have the valued skillset, take it with you into the doors where you feel welcome and valued

There were quite a bit of black ppl

Some hood niccas too

My training class only had 1 cac

I just wasn’t comfortable personally


So you quit because of job training, which takes 1 month at best, when you have Black coworkers?? :dahell::dahell::dahell::comeon:

It’s not that

I wasn’t able to do good in the training as well and a big part of that is how uncomfortable I was

The actually car haul part I was getting it down just slowly

Can we be honest breh

You were failing at the training, you were close to getting kicked out of the position, and decided to make a thread on the Coli about how you can't work with White people :francis::mjlol:
