fixed that for you breh.
So now I'm the angry black man at work
- Thread starter Hijo de luna
- Start date
Been in your shows man. I can't function in cac heavy settings man. I was actually good @ dodging the bullshyt and even saved a few asses from the axe but it's a headache to deal with on the daily. Currently been working in the trades but still picking up other skills. Being happy at work and having peace of mind is so key. Can't fukk with cacs going cac and token black men that play adversariesBack story: Me and this shriveled up cave bytch have never gotten along. We sit right next to each other and haven't spoken more than two words in over a year. She's my SR lead, kind of over me but not really.
So this morning I was running a little late due to a car accident blocking the high way. Literally 8 minutes(I'm salaried btw) and she told me she had just emailed the Director and Manager to see if I was off today, shade. That's literally how I looked at this pale c*nt.
Got to my desk sat down and wanted to let it go but I couldn't. I'm the type, I speak my piece and let the cards fall as they may. So I got up and calmly told her that that email was unnecessary. She knows I'm never late and I always make sure to let them know when I'm off.
Of course i get the call from my Manager to come chat. Dude said she stormed into his office on some 'how dare that niggra talk to me like that'. He also mentioned that several pawgs had come to him distraught at how aggressive I was towards the old bytch
10 years ago when I was working in construction I wanted to work in corporate so badly. Busted my ass to get my Accounting/Finance degree and I keep running into the same old bullshyt. I almost got fired from my first Finance gig because my Manager threw my black ass under the bus. Maybe it's me. Maybe Tech is better for us. All I know is if they boot me out I have to go another route. You'll never see me in another suit asking these mfs for an opportunity. fukk'em
..Just stay focused and find a way to move up or on without their interference. Tech is a good idea too
Let's hear this story in more detail.
I was working as a tester for mobile phone apps at this small company. I guess it wasn't really apps, but if you remember when you could order ringtones, pics or like your horoscope by texting a shortcode? Well we basically had one team that would capture ads all over the internet and we would test to make sure they sent you what you ordered, it was billed correctly and some other criteria.
The woman was the second employee of the company so she was tight with the owner. Her and I work closely together and we become cool. Going to lunch together, hitting up happy hour or whatever. The company starts to grow, they make her a manager and I'm on her team. shyt is all good because she starts to put in a good word for me around the company about my background and I ended up helping with reporting and analytics (which I did before I came to that job), and I'm still killing it on the testing...meeting and exceeding goals and shyt.
Fast Forward, we are out at some happy hour and we get into about something. I can't even remember but we stopped being cool. Now mind you, I'm working with another lady in regards to the reporting aspect and she loved me. I won an award (you know little corny office accolades) and a gift card for improving the reporting. I'm still working with ol girl I had the fall out with in regards to testing but it was very tense and she started just nit picking. I go to lunch one day, come back, and they called me in the office and said I had been fired for "insubordination" because I was asked to do testing and I refused (BIG FAT LIE). The day I was fired, I still had access to the system so I went in and printed all the tests I had completed that week because I knew they were going to try and deny my unemployment because I had gotten fired. I had to use the print outs to "win" my unemployment case.

Damn. You are now officially on the clock. I don't mean any harm, fam but now the plotting against you begins...Back story: Me and this shriveled up cave bytch have never gotten along.

Expect her sorcery levels to go up a notch or two
She won't be satisfied until you are escorted out the door. Cover your ass until you can see a way out.Best of luck going forward.

What sucks more is she got the victory of seeing you get fired. You shoulda done what everybody else in here saying and found a new job before getting fired.
Trust if I thought I was getting fired, I would have dipped. The other woman I was working with loved me so my hope was to work full-time with her but that didn't happen.Hate that happened to ya breh....smh.

Edit: I did tell her to "Shut the fukk up" before I left. I went back to my desk to pack up my shyt and she's making comments like "You can't do that, you need to leave and we'll mail your stuff to you". I told her the same way i bought my stuff in that building is the same way I'm taking it out and to get away from me. She backs up while I'm packing and we're good. I log in to my computer to make sure I log off and delete my personal files off it and here she comes again...YOU CANNOT DO THAT!! YOU NEED TO LEAVE!! YOU CAN'T BE ON YOUR COMPUTER! (She was one of those people that felt like anyone who was halfway decent with computers was a hacker). And I just spun around and told her SHUT THE fukk UP AND GET THE fukk AWAY FROM ME! She went and got back up LMAO! Escorted my black ass straight out the door.

Passive-aggressive white people are the WORST
I'm currently a Division Director and many years back when i was fresh out of college I had this same exact thing happen to me, and for all the people saying you're on the clock, they're half right and half not, because you're always on the watch list, but if they didnt want you working there they wouldn't have hired you in the first place, but what I will say is that you COMPLETELY fukkED UP by saying something to the woman, because to tell you the truth, your manager and director probably read that email she sent and thought the same thing you did: "Ok so Hijo's supposed to be there at 8 and it's 8:08 and she's freaking out and sending us emails? God she's such a dramatic pain in the ass" 
Now you escalated the situation and they've got to do more work by negotiating a transfer, which they don't want to do. Take it from a Director, Directors don't like doing work they don't have to do. She made them work by reading that bullsht email, and now YOU'RE making them work. She showed her c*ntiness by sending that shyt, and you should have let her fall on her face. You're salaried, so they dont give a fukk if you're 8 minutes late. They do give a fukk if you escalate a situation. Don't say anything else to her, be nice to everybody else, and be good at your job, and trust me you will be fine. As far as looking for another job, you should be doing that shyt ANYWAY, always be looking for better opportunities, so a panic exit strategy is not needed here. Nobody in the office is going to forget it, yes it's going to be a THING that happened, but trust if she's a big enough c*nt to send an email like that, you're not be only person in the office that thinks she's a c*nt, so just tune the bytch out and shine. Don't get angry about it anymore, it was a good learning experience, and you'll be just fine homie.
-edit
Ok I see you said that your manager said that OTHER people had complained about you being hostile towards the old lady. That's a definite detriment.
so at this point it's established that you two don't like each other which is STILL fine that stuff happens, but as long as you're cool with everybody ELSE, good. If not, then I'm going to agree fully with the "panic exit strategy" posters.
And an aside comment "throwing people under the bus" in the corporate world doesn't have a goddamn hung to do with race 90% of the time these motherfukkers would throw their own mama under the bus.
I've seen it done to all races by all races, so don't go the race route on that one don't carry that burden around with you, he did it cause he's a scoundrel, and he'd have done it if you were anglo-sax or Asian.
For any young breh professionals reading this thread:
Do not go out drinking with your coworkers.
Do not let your coworkers eat dinner with your family
Do not let your coworkers stay at your house
Do not volunteer detailed information about your private life.
Do not engage then when they become irate, troll them and say they need time to collect themselves and you'll return once they're composed.
Don't talk about politics.
Don't talk about race
Don't flirt with them, even other try to flirt with you.
Don't squirm under pressure, look them in he eye like a man and speak with conviction, they love arguing until they see you've got a backbone.
OP keep us updated, I bet this whole thing turns out fine.

i agree with what @CainsControl said. guys and girls, as someone who has been through similar experiences, all i can say is, always keep ur resume up to date, and focus on starting ur own business. there's something out there u can do that others will pay u for. find out what it is and do it on ur own. having to live by undignified rules is no way to live. having to swallow ur pride just for a paycheck is no way live.

Op, whats your job? What do you do?
You should have just kept your policy of not even associating with the bytch. All they want to do is find something to snitch on you about. You can work for these cacs, get paid by rhem, but no one ever said you had to kiss ass or socialize with them
