What Your Black Coworkers, Employees Wish You Knew
Before I decided to take a moment to update my blog today, I saw the following: 4 things your black employees and coworkers wish you knew —and how you should offer allyship and support So I decided to not write something that pretty much says the same thing I want to say. I agree with the article. I simply can't bring you peace of mind on how you feel and what you should have, could have done to right wrongs from your past. Let your personal faith and your therapist help with that. Enjoy the article.Nicholl McGuire

What You Say at Work Supposedly in Private will Hurt You One Day
Sooner or later an old conversation will show up on the lips of a disgruntled employee. How many times does one have to be warned that employees aren't friends of anyone--they are workers? Well, tell that to the people who have numerous BFF (best friends forever) at workplaces.
It's nice to have friends. They are there when things go wrong, motivate you to do better, and warn you when you are headed for trouble. But an angry, unforgiving type of so-called friend, well that person could care less about the friendship when jobs are on the line, when promotions are up for grabs, and when this manipulative person has a liking for a certain boss or supervisor that might be paying a little too much attention to you.
What was told privately comes back to haunt many workers across our land. Whether what you said was shared in-person, via text or email, any person who has just a little bit of jealousy, insecurity or anxiety about one's position or workplace and considers you a threat will say something.
Words can get one black-balled at work, although unfair, it happens. Check local labor laws. Find out what you can about accessing your file to see what others may have said about you. If what has been mentioned, is happening to you, then do what you must. If an apology is necessary, make a verbal and written statement to those you have offended. Find ways to resolve issues. Maybe you might have to take on an additional project, stay later, or do something else to gain your good reputation back with others. Seek employment if it gets too hot to stay in the kitchen!
