Or at least move to a smaller company/upstart where your contributions become undeniable. Yes, the goal is to own your own shyt, but working for a large corp guarantees a glass ceiling.
Something weird is going on …as a black person in the “corporate world”

"something weird going on" sounds like business as usual to me...

I self published my book recentlyTime to start looking at other revenue streams breh. Your total salary really shouldn’t consist of just corporate work, because if you died tomorrow they will replace you before your body is even cold
Got to game plan and market it
I was hired as insurance director at salary X … within three years they had me doing payroll assignments, union wage rates and contract review interacting with lawyers…I told one of the owners this is CFO type work a lot has been added to my job description above what I was hired for I’m spending money to automate my life to get the extra work done…
He said it’s hard to be an advocate for me because I work remote lol (I report to home office 4x a year)
I’m doing a full time job + part time job worth of work for just the full time pay

All my friends are ghanaian and jamaican except one Egyptian to be honest
Maybe it’s just because we’re getting older and in to that middle management level now
I just received the most glowing performance review in my career while simultaneously spending the most time home playing video games and getting my dikk sucked.
You just gotta figure out how to play the game. Gotta look like you doing the most and going above and beyond without actually doing shyt. I’m playing the travel game now, so I’m living on the company dime a week or two out the month. Travel day on Monday, actually work Tuesday and Wednesday, travel home Thursday, then stay home and check email on Friday. Can’t beat it.
