I feel like my charisma and positive outlook destroys my opportunity in and around my small town. I come in. Learn quickly. Excel. Then next thing I know some one who's jockeying for position is cutting my throat. Im kind. I'm friendly and loving. I'm a critical thinker so I see views from all angles. I'm not judgemental. I'm slow to speak especially when it's about the work. I'm always asking questions. I'm a fast typer. I'm great with computers. Pick up fast when learning programs very quickly. I get the job. I can't keep it. I try to build a good report w my management. Recently I started a new job that I'm really over qualified for and it's bc I'm testing the waters. To see if this rings true in a very low paying job. Same thing happened a couple days ago. I'm only a week into my new job and the female makes a big deal about how tips work. Threw a fit. Yelled at me. I said nothing until I walked away and I said you don't have to get angry this is nothing to b upset about. I'm asking you a question about work and I get the worst attitude and i get yelled at in front of my co workers. The next day I came into work to look at the new schedule and the female who I worked with said you don't work today and your getting a write up. I said what for. She said BC you yelled at me in front of everyone and the ppl who were near us say it. I said what? Everyone one agree with your lie? She said I talked to the manager (which is her fiance) about it and your getting written up. I said then I guess I need to talk to the GM don't I? BC you got him fooled already. I walked out and went home. Came to work the next day. The GM was there and so was the manager. They told me what she accused me of. Then they asked to hear my side. Soon as I opened my mouth they looked at eachother and knew she was pretending. To make a long story short. I never got written up. I still work there. But I'm quitting tomorrow BC I found a new Gig and I'm traveling for the work. So good by small town. I'm sick of feeling ostracized in professional environments. Judged by my looks. my race. my name . I'm Puerto Rican I live in a predominantly white community. Majority republican. You see what we are letting Puerto Rico go thru? That's what happening here to me but only thru work. I am the expendable negro. I am not worth anything unless I'm dumber than dumb and cut throat back. I need real pay real employment. A real shot. Or I'm giving up and learning how to make a living thru the internet. I'm sick of systemic racism. I'm a Midwest Puerto Rican who does not speak Spanish. I'm worthless. I'm going to move west very soon if GOD don't open a door.
