KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Black women are burnt out at work!
- One thing I’ve never done is sat back, listened to a stat, then just went on with my day. There is something I can do.
- Corporate gaslighting - Power struggle and the tactics that are used are done to manipulate and confuse your reality. Socialogists have found is it is even more painful in the workplace, because corporate gaslighting brings in other’s to confound this.
- Attributional ambiguity - this is NOT imposter syndrome - it is the question and hyper-vigilance you have that is “What is causing this?”
- Corporate gaslighting is deeply rooted within systems, so much so, that if we are victims of it, we don’t even realize we are.
- It’s really important to understand where we pick up behaviors.
- How are folx getting feedback? It’s a push-pull effect, instead of fire-hosing.
- People will have the same issue over and over because it is what they know and they don’t have the opportunity to heal it.
- Survivorship bias - when someone has a reaction to someone saying they went through a work trauma. They can be incredibly destabilizing.
- More organizations should have clearer communication on how to be promoted.
