The Great Resignation

3/1/2022

0 Comments

 
People don't even realize that what they're actually resigning from is white supremacy culture.
That's what runs the vast majority of our workplaces.
And it doesn't work.

Peep the 13 Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture
  1. Perfectionism
  2. Sense of Urgency
  3. Defensiveness
  4. Quantity Over Quality
  5. Worship of the Written Word
  6. Paternalism
  7. Either/Or Thinking
  8. Power Hoarding
  9. Fear of Open Conflict
  10. Individualism
  11. Progress is Bigger, More
  12. Objectivity
  13. Right to Comfort

Each characteristic has several antidotes.

Once you understand the poison you've been unintentionally drinking, you can apply the right cure. Treat yourself first, then, if you choose to, give others the cure.

Helping others can look like starting or joining your organization's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI or DEIB) Committee.

That's what I did. That's what I'm currently doing.
