8 years ago I had a POC manager. The day after election the mood in office was crestfallen and visibly shook. Our POC manager pulled each one of us aside for 1:1 to check on us, how we are doing, and reassure us that he would also have our back. In my current team I report to a white man (supposedly Trumpkin, can’t confirm). We had an off-site this week which was held on Wednesday, and pretty much entire team reporting to him are east coast / west coast liberals who have no issue talking about our politics internally. Majority of us were feeling sunk on Wednesday morning. Because the off-site was virtual, everyone was off-camera. Our manager forced us to come on camera because it was an off-site, even after a few women protested and told him upfront it was not a good day for them to be on. He forced them and us anyway. A few people pinged me on the side how they were crying in the morning and had to just turn on camera. A few more simply said no and never came on camera. I did because I wanted the team to see how crestfallen I was and it showed. So yeah, when I posted yesterday about changing my teams and specifically looking for POC manager and POC chain, thats why. I am actually convinced at this point, I will barring a white peerson I actually know personally well enough and vouch they got my back (and I do know a few).
