Black Workers: "Going To Work Is Racist!"

Black employees prefer remote work to avoid microaggressions and racist behavior


Black workers and career coaches told the Los Angeles Times that remote work 'lessened the racism' of certain jobs




Black workers prefer remote work over the workplace to avoid microaggressions and racism according to a recent report from The Los Angeles Times.

As workers continue to return to the office following the end of the coronavirus pandemic emergency, some Black employees, the LA Times claimed, are reluctant to return.

"Patients at the hospital sometimes gave him funny looks when he came to check their room’s Wi-Fi, recalled [LeRon] Barton, who is Black, and staff members questioned his competence. Working remotely during the pandemic showed him a whole different lifestyle: no commute, more time with his family and a break from the onslaught of microaggressions and other racist behavior he’d had to endure," the article stated.

Whatever works. I know a lot of people - of all races - can and prefer to work remotely. So if Black people want to step up and throw the racism card to make it happen, thanks pal

And it makes perfect sense because the biggest workplace racism offenders are in metro areas teeming with Democrats - of course they're going to be racist AF.

I like that. Come to work racist, stay home racist .

I don't know a lot of people working remotely, but the ones I do know are white and they love it and don't want to go back to work either.
Can you blame them. ?
Certainly going to work one day a week and staying home the rest of the time and playing on the computer is great.
You can have a drink if you want, call the wife and knock off a piece, take the kids to school , it's almost like being retired.

Sure I will get some grief and be told how they are online and have to answer when a message comes in some are even being watched while online , but not going to work is a helluva lot better than having to get up sit in rush hour be at an office and pay for parking. You get to sleep an extra 2 hrs, you can sit there in your pajamas and save money on gas.

Geez you don't have to be black to not want to go back to work. The poor picked on perpetually offended call it racism because they are playing their favorite trump card that so often works for them.;

I once had a co-worker try to describe "micro-aggressions".

I think they just made up stuff that annoyed them and called it racism.

Apparently it's another "White Privilege" to commute into work now.

I think Greg said this last night, maybe his competency is questioned because he does his JOB Poorly, not because he is black ....


How is he checking WiFi in Hospital rooms REMOTELY

There's a lot to be said for WFH - I was doing it all but one day a week BEFORE the pandemic.

But - lunches are - "free" - inasmuch as they're my own food from my own fridge. Commutes cost nothing. I'm always on time - no traffic or weather concerns. Bathroom breaks - well, it's my bathroom, and I don't have to WAIT. The coffee pot ALWAYS has coffee in it and it doesn't cost anything.

When I am PHYSICALLY at work - most of my co-workers are either NOT in - because they also telework, part-time (a neccessary situation, because GSA keeps closing buildings and cramming us together in others) - or they are PHYSICALLY too far to make the walk to talk in person worth it.

What do I do? I use any of the instant messaging tools we have at my DESK. I can video conference - chat - and we can share each other's screens and share control (something I CANNOT do visiting a desk).

How does this differ from working from home?

No difference. My "contact" with other workers is IDENTICAL to that at home. I do it all remotely.

Now - at my physical job - I honestly cannot just stay late - I commute by bus, and it's not as though the schedule runs all night or they have THAT man buses. At home - I can pop in on my day off - late at night - REALLY early -

And my experience from home is almost identical to being in the office. I sit at my "desk" (a cubicle assigned to me for the day) and I work, just like home, with the same laptop. I attach to the network the SAME WAY. And I "talk"to others the same way. The ONLY difference - other than the advantages I've listed - is where I do it.

I gain NOTHING from being "in the office".

Who at some point in their career didn't have their competency questioned? Especially when you were new at a job or a line of work.

The issue is that everyday, everyone faces annoying little actions that make life a bit more of a challenge. When these things happen to a minority, often it is blamed on white supremacy, institutional racism, the patriarchy or some other invisible boogie man. Stuff happens to everyone. They need to buck up and quit complaining.

The list of things that impact minorities greater than YT is amazing. Canadian wildfires, covid, the covid vaccine, global warming, sunlight, moonlight, rain, the ocean. Enough of the BS.

I've been working from home for almost 25 years now. But I'm still subjected to a barrage of microagressions daily from SGI.

That's the part I never understood. I used to tell people "but I have black friends" but that's rayciss now too, apparently.

SGI claims to be a former slave....or maybe a current slave...I don't pay him much attention.

I think they just made up stuff that annoyed them and called it racism.

There's a commercial on kid's TV where a black kid starts talking about micro aggression, and he feels uncomfortable because the police can't see him as anything but black and feels people in general are watching what he does. It's obvious it's just a bunch of buzz words someone wants him to spew.

I want to just slap the crap out of him and say, "You're a teenager! It's just teenager paranoia! EVERY teen feels like the cops are looking at them, just waiting for them to do something wrong! You're no frikkin' different than anyone else! Stop using the race card and get a life!"
