OP you must look like a p*ssy for that Cac to be testing you like this, you can bet he don't respect your ass now. Probably will clown on you again in the foreseeable future. At work I keep things straight no need for jokes or trying to be every-bodies friend. Cac tried shyt like that with me I would have given him that look.:birdman:

So I been on the coli since June 2012 and I have 112 posts, so im the definition of a lurker.. on the coli and in real life.
So our department was having a meeting with this guy from another company. He wanted to understand how our supply chain works, so we in a team of about 8, im the only black guy, the meeting lasts about an hour with everyone in our team going back and forth with the guy and im just
sitting there like :shaq2:, I said nothing the hol meeting… When the meeting is about to end the guy says “Double Up, one more word out of you and yourre outta here”. Everyone is like :lolbron:

I just give him the :beli: .
I’m just the type of guy that only talks when I’m adding value or when I have to, I won’t just talk for no reason. Why do outspoken people feel like everyone should be like them?
You need to get your shyt together @DOUBLE UP, it's a business meeting, it lasted an hour you were expected to contribute something and WOULDN'T OR COULDN'T...

I'm pretty introverted myself but I'll be damned if I let some CACS assume I'm a dummy who's afraid to speak because he doesn't know anything or can't speak properly in a business setting...

:patrice: Yeah breh, you don't want to be known as the quiet guy in the office. That's a sure way of being skipped over for all the promotions.

@DOUBLE UP
I am an introvert (with a natural resting bytch face), and I am also a mid level manager. An introvert doesn't mean that you don't have the ability to get involved, it just means it is more comfortable for you to not do so. For work's sake, you need to push yourself to get critically engaged, or act like it every now and then. When one of my staff consistently doesn't participate, they are perceived as having a poor attitude. You will also be looked at as easily dispensable and not adding much value to your team.

I don't like the corny jokes and small weather talk at the meetings, but all my bosses are social, old white men, so I'll offer a small smile for the jokes and when suggestions and agreements are made, I'll throw in a few words of support or concern based on my insight within my role. If I don't have anything to add, I'll still watch my facial expressions, and actually say, "sounds like a productive conversation, not much more to add here" with a short smile.

Were there any questions you could have asked to seem more engaged, and to also keep the dialogue flowing? And if you're an extreme introvert, I'm sure they are well aware of that by now lol. Gotta either learn how to take a joke, or be quick on your feet and have a come back (doesn't need to be insulting, could have been something like "my team is great, they handled everything perfectly" or something like that).
