...See more I’m looking for a new job because I had to quit my last job. MLS up I never felt safe gathering in groups of three or more. And my last job I was told directly that I needed to know how to act a sit at master‘s table. most of the older Black people were afraid to speak up too loud or be saying communicating with one another too frequently. There were other issues that I could mention but overall I don’t think I was safe as a black person at my job and after working there for five years I decided to end it now it’s not for me to find a new job but I’m terrified that I will end up in a position like my last where I am unsafe. I’m running out of savings waiting on a miracle. i’m constantly frustrated that I may be putting myself back in the same position by going back to work. I have therapist explained to me that I have PTSD from all the trauma of dealing with white people these last couple years. I genuinely cry at night sometimes when I think about the fact that I have to go work for white people for the rest of my life. I know the chance starting a business and it being successful and not ending up back working for white people is rare but I am hopeful for the option for one day I may be able to work for myself. I wanna clarify that I don’t hate white people I’m just scared of them after being attacked multiple times. Some what car fear of a race racism but I think that it’s literally just PTSD reaction that is a learned behavior from experience. what should i do to feel better about working in the corporate world again?
