      Literally didn’t get an annual bonus at my previous job because of “values”. My work performance was excellent but because I didn’t engage with the team ( whyte folks) my values didn’t align with the team. Really just wanted to do my best at work and leave.

    I had stellar performance reviews while I worked in corporate America. The only criticism they would give me was “we wish you would socialize more.” I was cordial with my colleagues, friendly to everyone and respected. That’s all I needed. I did not want to take part in gossip or workplace politics. It’s still strange to me that my lack of game playing and drama was a negative.

      Never get too dressy around them, either.
      Oh, is that new?
      They will try to find out where you live, too. One woman told me she had a PO box on file. White coworkers found out they had tried their best to find her house and told her they couldn't.
      Another lady said she was sick and at home after surgery. Guess who popped up?
      Those nosy azz coworkers and then one made snide comments on how well she was living.
      I was in the military and a coworker took his office white male coworkers to his house.
      He said one kept making remarks.
      I told him the guy was jealous and he made a mistake taking them to his home.

I didn’t discuss any of my personal relationship business and I didn’t get involved with all the hearsay mess.
