Corporate brehs do ya'll put on a friendly cac voice or do you give no fuks?

[Water]

Code switching essentially? Then yeah with my family and friends I speak differently than I do in the office.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

I can get audited and go to jail in my line of work, so I don’t give a fukk and will be on a VP’s ass if they’re trying to rush and cut corners with my livelihood at stake.

I got a meeting with a group this morning and I already know I’m going to have to keep it real with them because they’re trying to rush the process.

I always want to understand what people mean in these conversations.. Like what are the differences that you’re going for between your work voice and your off work voice? Changing your whole voice to try to “sound like a white man” is crazy to me. Are you saying you speak with a drawl and drop various slang terms at work. Help me understand

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

This posters makes a joke of this but I’m the one tripping

This is how I know you're an idiot.

There are countless stories of black men being told they aren't a good match in the corporate environment and being put on performance review. Yet here you are talm bout just be yourself.

 

[Pete Wrigley]

You brehs really code switching like that?!

Wait until you find a job that you don't have to do all of that, I imagine it would be liberating.

Folks need to accept you for who you are brehs, you brothas are great and don't let no one tell you otherwise

Coli brehs at work

 

[Heafcliffe]

I speak professionally at work but not nasally-cac.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

My voice is consistent whether at home or at work. I just try not to curse at much at work.

 

[DrunkenNovice]

need more threads on being black in corporate America

I think we all change the way we speak at work vs with family friends, it can be exhausting too especially when you’re handling conflict.

 

[King Poetic]

In all honesty white people not in 2024 be using kind/soft harmless speech when they at work

I am who i am and not changing

 

[Bunchy Carter]

There are users on her like @Godless Socialist CEO who will let White people call him racial names at work and thinks it is fine:

His supposed net worth is like 4 million dollars. You can call me black ass (insert real name here) for that if all I have to do is skateboard

Everyone has a price. I have no problem admitting I’d let someone call me that for generational wealth for me and my family.

If that makes me some kind of bytch I honestly don’t care it’s the internet and some of y’all act like that’s a crazy statement. Like I said this is capitalism you’re being degraded by having your labor taken advantage of already

For the record though I wouldn't do what say someone like Candace Owens and the rest of the black Trump people do for ANY amount of money

 

[Koli_Kat]

If simply removing the N word and other black slang words like cap is code switching....then yea I do that

Why would I say words other people don't understand?

 

[Umoja]

I wouldn't call it my corporate voice.

It's measured which is how I handle conversations with professionals, friends of my parents etc.

Just be yourself brother there is value in being authentic and being true to oneself and also ensure to maintain professionalism at all times
