Having a really hard time right now, done use this app too often
Hi, as the title says, I’m going through something job related at the moment and I’m feeling extremely down, to the point where I don’t even want to talk to my therapist.
to keep it short, I believe there may be some racism at a new job I started at. I am a person of color, while all of my coworkers are Russians, I am the ONLY person of color there to my knowledge.
I was literally this company’s first employee. 2 people started after me, one of which I trained, let’s call him H. H has received several things that I have not, including access to the building. As of recently, I notice that H does not leave the building until I do.
as a person of color, I genuinely worry that I’m being treated differently because of my skin color. I honestly don’t know how to process this or where to begin. I work hard, I show up everyday, I do everything I’m supposed to as an employee, and now this?
I’ve had thoughts of cutting myself tonight. May just go home and get stupid drunk. I feel myself drowning.
@imaginativePine819 Please don't hurt yourself! I understand how you feel discriminated against, as I too am a person of color. But just because some people are treating us differently doesn't mean we should throw ourselves away. I'd suggest meeting with the manager and letting them know what's going on. If your coworkers still persist, try to find another job. Almost anything is better than working at a toxic environment.
