That off feeling about your white coworker is valid
​
Hey ladies. This is more of a post to say, "you're not crazy" lol. I started a job which was a step down in responsibilities, but where my expertise was welcomed. I noticed when working on quarterly projects with a white coworker who is not my manager but kind of like an in-between me and my manager, that whenever I had something to offer or a direct solution for an issue, it always felt like she didn't want it because it came from me. I was like, maybe I'm overthinking this. She seemed very nice otherwise, but I always just felt some kind of way about her.
Well, fast forward to me getting a new job offer and announcing my last day. My team at this company is honestly great and my manager is amazing. They all showed and expressed how much they're going to miss me, said they enjoyed working with me, and reached out privately. They want to do a lunch for my last day, which I thought was very sweet. The whole time, she had the biggest, most sinister smirk on her face throughout the entire meeting and, of course, didn't reach out.
It just feels nice to know I wasn't crazy and y'all aren't either! Have a great day 🤗
