My boss got called out by multiple people including myself (I’m white) because a few POC coworkers were not feeling supported or respected. Two days later, she closed the store for three weeks to have an investigation and diversity training which is great, but we are now all unemployed and I’m sure she is going to pick and choose who she brings back. I just cannot believe that she would do this without talking to us about it as she’s “all about communication”.
Now the staff is extra pissed and we are all broke as it is and now have to file for unemployment. We also don’t have insurance. I am just so livid that she would do this as she’s always been progressive and supportive and open to hearing us out. I guess it was just all performative. If anyone has advice I’d love to hear it but I’m mostly just venting. I loved my job. I’m so fuckin bummed.
