Being told during my work review that I need to “soften my opinions”. Now, mind you, part of my job is making credit decisions which I regularly have to debate and defend to credit officers and reviewers. But no, they weren’t talking about that. They were talking about me saying something in a casual conversation. As in my political views are different than the VAST majority of people where I live.
What was relayed to me as an “example” of my hard opinions was when I got frustrated at my cube-mate for some very racist things he was saying. “People infringing on my European privledge”. I sh!t you not. At work.
I told him I didn’t care to hear such things because even though I look white, I’m not. I’m biracial. I was not mean or agressive and I said it in as even s tone as I could. Now I am a “snowflake” and “Pocahontas”.
And when I take it to my boss....I need to soften my opinions. And Cube-mate continues his nasty remarks everyday.
Good times.
