I'm white. Do you ever just get sick of white people?
Really, it's just stupid white people, but I got an inquiry on LinkedIn from a headhunter. She's working for a company that is one of the 3 largest CPA firms in the US owned by African Americans. All I could think was HALLELUJAH!
I had a rather tense conversation with my boss and his wife this morning. When I started working for them over 3.5 years ago, there were 3 people in the office full time and 2 part timers. Since August, it's just been me in the office full time because he and his antivax wife infected everyone with COVID and the other 2 people didn't come back. My boss decided he can get so much more done working from home! (And you should see his liquor bills!) His wife is there 50% of the time.
I told them this wasn't what I signed up for and that in almost 6 months, they should have been able to find someone. Their claim is "no one wants to work". I told them they probably weren't paying enough and they said "No, all our friends can't find any help either." Well, their friend is are stingy, stupid white people just like them!
So yeah, I'm ready to work for some smart people of color.
Now, other than your snarky little Covid comment, your story makes sense. Leave melanin content out, it has nothing to do with personality, intelligence or anything else, unless you want it to.
I'm tired of stupid people myself, don't care what color they are. I'm glad to be working with smart people, regardless of their skin color.
