I don’t want to be the angry Black woman

 I’ve worked in “Corporate America” within the last 10 years,

the majority of it has been in what could be considered a mentally draining career choice. I decided it would be a great idea in 2010 to start a job working in a call center.

Every call center Job that I’ve ever had I hated it, except for US LawShield

There has not been a day that I have wanted to quit. usually I had always dreaded going in to work and deal with the mundane and rude customers to barely make enough money to make rent. In the last two years, I was so blessed and grateful that I no longer work in a place like that anymore.

I got my first job at 14 years old

and I always prided myself to do my job to the best of my ability. no matter what it was that was a cashier at McDonald’s that was selling car wax in a can (yes I did this  in the summer  in the Texas heat)

I would do everything in my full capacity to ensure that I did it with a smile.

Even if I’m having the worst of days you will never know it because I’m still coming to work providing my smile and helping a customer. I of course find myself bumping heads with people who do not have the same mindset or work ethic as me. These kinds of people always make it their way to bring the moral down at work,  I’m talking about the one who it is her little job every day to be angry to backstab bring you down to mess up your energy and to create at times very hostile work environment. any time that I’ve ever been in a position of leadership always makes it my duty anyone that is on my team anyone who works underneath me anything of that sort I always have every single one of their best interest at heart.

I’m in no way going to derail your career path, derail your hopes and dreams with that particular position.

I’m going to do everything in my power for you to get everything that you so rightfully deserve. Why am I doing this you ask? I have been that woman with a boss that demeaned me , gossiped, and made me feel as if I was the lowest form of crap I had a position where I was making 20K a year and an accounting position came free after they quit unexpectedly I was then thrust into this position while ensuring my actual job was being attended to. After further research, this position paid 40K more when I advised that the position could be filled by me or someone external or they can adjust my pay I was demoted.

I have even provided an opportunity to another woman of color to have a platform to speak to try to provide her some advancement in her career

and to be thrown under the bus at the first chance she could on a mistake she made. One thing after my last three jobs I realized partially it was very difficult to make friends while you’re working at home so my last two jobs this was a no-brainer
