This is my first attempt at a blog, so I decided to write something just a bit different for all you internet geeks out there. For those of you that don’t know who I am (how could you not), but anyway, I have somewhat of a “split personality”. By day I hold an Executive position in a Human Resources dept. in a Hospital, and by night I’m an Emcee (not rapper) and Radio Personality. Bit of a thug and a gentleman you could say.
At work, often times I’m the youngest person in Executive meetings, and also the only person of color. I find myself sitting around a roundtable of older white men, saying to myself…”Sit yo $5 ass down before I make change!!” (Nino Brown reference in case you didn’t know.)
So what I hope to accomplish in my blogs are to show the different sides of my personality and how I cope differently in a professional environment. Also to provide insight into what goes on in Corporate America behind closed doors at the highest level. At times it’ll be funny, insightful and shocking. But it will always be real.
So I’ll start off with something small first. I’m going to speak on the difference in the way White folks and Black Folks handle stress at work. Today we had an employee that feels he has “too much work to do”, and he was ranting how he was gonna go Postal. Crying, and cursing up and down the halls. When I heard about it, I thought, “gotta be a white guy”. And guess what? I was right! Now I’m now racist, but you gotta admit, white folk have a problem dealing with work stress. Can’t tell you how many grown ass people are crying in my office everyday. And they ain’t named Shaneequa or Daquann. It’s the “other” folks. If you piss a Black person off at work, either one of 2 things will happen: 1. They wait outside in the parking lot for the person that pissed them off and kick their ass, or 2. They get Pookie and ‘em from the corner to wait for the person in the parking lot and kick their ass. Both of which I have no problem with when its warranted. Now to be fair, for every white person that can’t handle stress, there’s a black person that just wanna be as ignorant as they wanna. I believe that’ll be my next blog…..stay tuned suckas!! Holla!!
