You can't be an alpha male in an office environment. It's not racial cause I did an office job for 6 months and was in a separate office every other week with the main feminine boss dude trying his best to break me due to some bullshyt he misinterpreted. Worked 15 years in manual labor jobs prior with none of that nonsense...Step into that cubicle life and the soft guys find ways to weed you out cause they feel threatened when you point out ways to do things easier or a female feels "threatened" by your questioning of something they said.

There really is only 2 ways for males to work in America. Beta's go for the office jobs or typical female roles. Alphas do the actual work. There may be one or two alpha males at the top of the cubicle foodchain but they stay outta the way and let one Beta male or Alpha female do all of their managerial work.

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.

Everything you said is spot on esp the bolded. He asked me for my side of the story and I gave it along with some other examples of where she would CC him and the Director on emails to me(you know that passive aggressive shyt as if you're not doing your job so she have to get the whole damn company involved). He was almost rolling his eyes because he knows this bytch is wound up like a clock. We talked about it less than two minutes and he was ready to move on and talk about something else. He did say that he knows everybody isn't going to be friends in a group our size, they're happy with my work and the move isn't something entirely related to my situation. There may be other things going on that I don't know about.

Like I said, holding your tongue, that's a catch 22. I never want people to think I'm that nikka to steal on. Maybe I need to mature a little more and learn to channel those emotions through my own passive aggressiveness to let people know I'm not the one.

But nah, I have no worries. This lady has zero clout, she's not connected to any power people outside of our little group. This is the third time He ain't going through the hassle of filling my position on her account. At the end of the day the Manager wants know how this affects his money, and it doesn't. I work in commercial credit and I've heard Managers say on numerous accounts that new hires take 3-6 months to get acclimated and a full year before the company gets a return on their investment. This is not a revolving door type position. I have customers who call my cell phone on the weekends, I respond to emails on the weekends. The relationships is what drives us and I get along just fine with EVERYBODY except this broad.

I think I'll be fine though. I appreciate your feedback.

Sounds like she has too much time on her hands. She needs to be occupied with real life challenges and issues. Find out everything about her. Like were her parents live,work, children's names and school, college dirt, social media accounts, info about her husband and secretly use this information to your advantage.... The more you know, the better.

Bruh, there is NOTHING worse in the corporate world than bitter, passive aggressive white women Their pettiness and scheming is on another level, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your shyt. You're trying to be rational and reasonable, but that is NOT how they operate

Don't engage with them, keep things purely professional and always keep your cool, my man. Let her look irrational and overly emotional by letting her speak into a trouble spot.

I live in fukking Australia, I've seen this shyt for years first hand. My old company had well over 3000 employees and there were like 30 black people

 

[Clark Wayne]

Hate that had to happen to you breh. I work in an office but not necessarily corporate so I'm mostly on my own. Plus there is a good amount of black people around and one in particular who always has my back.

 

[SirReginald]

I went through the same shyt when I was a stocker at a retail place. Exactly the same with a old white woman who was a team leader.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Back 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

You can't always be in character in the face of white supremacy. Sometimes you snap

Just try to avoid getting fired for now and keep your eye open for any discrimination suit opportunities

 

[SirReginald]

Like on poster said, don't try to be buddy-buddy with them. I worked at 7/11 and was always blamed for shyt. Had arguments and etc. Just do your thing famo.

 

[newworldafro]

Not to be funny style OP, but you never call the secretary or someone to let them know you're going to be a little late if you ever happen to be? I see you said that you were usually never late to work, so maybe you figured you didn't need to call since its a rare occurence?

Never let 'em see you sweat. Especially women in corporate America. AND you're black!?

I want to swing on about 90 % of the people I work with. It's hard as fukk to swallow your pride. But the corporate politics nowadays are disgusting. Especially at this point in the country.

We don't have a tardy policy. As long as people dont abuse it we can come and go as we please but my Manager warns that if you are the person who is absent or late all the time there will be a perception issue amongst your colleagues. Which will then lead to them setting a policy. This dumb broad doesn't realize that this is exactly what he was talking about. Her stupid stunt is ultimately going to hurt everybody including herself.

I worked for over a year in a corporate environment and I pretty much flew under the radar. I hadn't gotten a single complaint from anyone nor had any altercation with any co workers because I worked in a separate area away from the majority of the people on site. I pretty much worked in a tech room with a couple of other brehs, an asian and like one white dude. White dude was pretty much the one that had to do all the hard work because we had backbones and didn't giggle around. I never argued with anyone and anytime(rarely) if a white person got irritated by something I directed them to some other party or deflected. You gotta not stoop to their level. I walked around that bytch with not a care in the world and never got "in trouble."

Basically, keep your cool, do what you have to do and keep to yourself but crack a joke or say something funny here/there to keep them off your back.

we dont do schedules in IT just gotta be on time for meetings. I never let coworkers know when Im coming or going I learned quickly that grown adults in the workplace are petty chatties just like grade schoolers
