a thread of random things I remember from my toxic ass previous places of employment.
when my white woman co-worker filed an HR report on the head of HR.
when a white guy in Bumblefuck, Wisconsin called my homegirl’s bandana a “durag” and my white boss insisted “he didn’t mean it like that.”
When Betsy Erkkila called my very alive Sierra Leonean grandmother an “ancestor” and compared her to Frederick Douglass.
When my boss cried bc my co-worker and I didn’t invite her to dinner after work.
When the head of my non-profit was fired for sexual assault and they literally didn’t say a word about it and quietly replaced him.
when my boss, completely unprompted, turned my office into a therapy space to talk about her failures as a mother.
