Theres no black middle class over here, its literally been designed as whites in the office, nikkas on the floor. They've allowed asians to gain some headway as a whole nikkas is pretty much disenfranchised from moving up.
Something weird is going on …as a black person in the “corporate world”

God damn.
It's the same here which is why I laugh when this website is so short sighted about Black unity. All those other ethnicities within those other races don't like each other but they are on code when they are in gatekeeping situations.

Same shıt on my end and my CDT manager is a black woman that kisses ass and is a huge cọon. She doesn't know my role nor how much work I put in but gives me a poor performance review plus I have weekly one on one's where she's condescending af. I've been applying to 50 to 100 jobs a week. May not even give a 2 weeks notice when I quit.
I'm also the only black male at my job. I work around mostly diverse non black women.

Sorry but none of these work scenarios I'm reading in this thread are out of the ordinary of what goes on in a corporate environment 
And blame yourself for not asking for a raise. Corporations know the higher in skill you go, the less available people who can do that type of work in the marketplace exists. You have to play into that mindset. You have to know your value, and the Corporation for damn sure is not going to tell you your value

Yea, I may need therapy. It's crazy how some of our own sistas are the biggest snakes. I've mentally checked out and don't even communicate with anyone. My girl even said it, most black women are terrible bosses. Her boss being a fair black woman is an anomaly.

There's no equality or unity in the black middle class. There's only upper and lower class.
You rarely see a co-mingling of a middle class because most companies will only put you in those 2 categories.
Upper class consist of either coọns and sellouts or really intelligent hardworking people. As black men, you gotta play chess and don't put loyalty in a company.

@LiveFromLondon Already much said the key parts in his reply.
Here isn’t built on in your face aggressive capitalism but it is built on a feudalistic rent seeking mindset. Americans are so greedy that they’re hard working and innovative, brits are greedy & lazy.
Property is king so those who have it a clear advantage. Salaries are increasingly trash compared to US.
No clear Black Middle class although this may change IMO. I think the African Second gens may create this once they leave london.
TLDR - Unproductive economy with clear racial wealth gap. Wouldn’t recommend but better than other European countries IMO.
Kissing ass and going above your requirements for the same pay is being a bootlicker. It goes without saying to NOT be lazy, actually do you job , and be a teamplayer but it has to be compensated or at least receive some acknowledgement of being a honorary employee. But doing all that shyt for free? tsk tsk...
Gotta start your own shyt.
And that comes with its own struggle, and WAY more risk. Or you got to settle in and accept how you’re gonna get treated in the corporate world. But trying to figure out if you’re being treated unfairly, thinking about it, etc, ain’t gonna change anything. Just gonna stress you out.
Strike one your black
Strike two your black
Strike three your black
Corporate America will always look for a reason not to promote you because of your blackness and under compensate you because your black.. They keep those two mechanisms in place so that they can keep their quota of having diversity in hiring but won’t allow you upward mobility within the company.
please expound brother
BIG DRAWS GLOXy g'head girl!
