    This is true. Had a good paying chemical job maybe 8 years ago. Stayed to myself and did my work. Ate my lunch in my car on break and got called in the office about not being a "team player". They really hate to see us thrive.

      They sensed racism on your behalf lets be honest. That resembles what whites would discuss on Stormfront when they're in the workplace with blacks or other minorities. And now who are we hearing being anti immigrant and anti white? Dablax.dat's who. That's why you're not hearing many white trumpets getting as loud as you. They're just letting you do it all.

    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.

      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.

I didn’t discuss any of my personal relationship business and I didn’t get involved with all the hearsay mess. So they both spoke up for me and the supervisor spoke up for me another time when this lady was trying to set me up and kept trying to pressure him to write me up and he clicked off on her and told her that I do my job and she needs to mind her own business.

      They will never promote her. Tell her to get her resume updated, do interviews and keep it quiet.
      Then slap that resignation on them. Do not burn bridges but just, thanks for the opportunity, some bland copy paste resignation from Google.
      Start taking personal items home too. Do this quietly.
      I never would leave a job, until I had another one to go to.

I told them over and over I do NOT celebrate the holidays, but they simply will NOT stop with the little gifts which I have to keep putting in the trash because why do they want me to take their gifts in my home so bad??? What kind of curse is on it?

      Now, on the other hand, you exhibit signs consistent with what we call trolling.
      Did you know that some researchers are suggesting that trolling behaviour is limited to a vocal and sociopathic minority, often emerging among individuals with “Dark Tetrad” personality traits, including psychopathy, machiavellianism, narcissism, and sadism.

    She looked so funny but never said it again.
