I'm taking the money.

I've worked in the corporate world long enough to know there's always some form of hate, or disrespect thrown at everybody. I tune out the negative, and focus on being productive.

Ain't no way I'm letting some cowards get me down.

I’d take the higher paying job. Save most of the money and leave after a year or two. Save/invest at least 70% the take home pay. Sacrifice…

Everyones gonna pick Job 1. They're gonna be at work on their, "Yes sir! No Sir!", pretending to like Taylor Swift in a futile effort to bond with their racist coworkers. But then come to thecoli on their fake Malcolm-X online persona trying to balance it out.

Which job would you take?

Job 1
Pays you $175K
Great benefits and stock options
Minimum $10K annual bonus
4 weeks PTO. You work some holidays and weekends here and there as needed.
Typical work week = 50-60 hours

But you are one of the only black people there. You have to deal with constant non-stop passive aggressive disrespect/racism. Higher ups constantly tote you around as a token. You are a diversity hire.


or


Job 2
Pays you $60K
Below average benefits. No stock options
Max 3% bonus depending on company's fiscal year
2 weeks PTO. Holidays and weekends off.
Typical work week = 30-45 hours

But majority of your co-workers and higher ups are black. You really enjoy your co-workers and where you work. There is some room for growth. Higher ups actually care about your well-being.
Higher ups constantly toting me around is my foot in the door to a higher position in the company

It’s people making less than both jobs and still have to deal with racism. The money will make me happy. Give me the money.
