ive heard about this term because it’s a course being offered at my company, called “covering talent” and it’s about all the ways people cover in the workplace from wearing a mustache to look more masculine, to an LGBT person overcompensating by acting over masculine or a woman wearing her hair a certain way to fit in, etc.
Sounds like a corporate term for selling out. All these diversity and inclusion workshops and people still have to "cover"?

I'm in a high enough position now, where i don't really feel that pressure for myself personally. But i have to lookout for people underneath me. but i had to check one of my employee's a few months back. Our IT guy was in the office and she started touching his hair. I was like :snoop: , but didn't say anything at the time. Figured he'd handle it himself. But he just smiled and went along with it.
Later on he comes into my office like :mjpls: you see that woman touch my hair? I was like yeah:scusthov: i'll talk to her about it. Told her in a non aggressive way. hey it's not cool to touch peoples hair in the office. Her response?: I would've touched your hair instead but you keep it so short all the time.:gucci:

I’m just gonna guess it’s a perpetual state of them undermining your authority at every turn.
