Ok, there's nothing wrong with "keeping it real" when the time is appropriate but I'm sorry, there is nothing worse then an adult that doesn't know how to leave the hood at home when operating at work.
I'm not talking about the street skills that keep you with your eyes open ready to take advantage of an opportunity that others may not see. I mean the elements of it that make you wonder if so many of those stereotypes might be more on point then you want to admit. Do any of y'all have that extra loud co worker? The one that takes a personal phone call and then seems to be on the phone all day while broadcasting just how much her life sucks? Of course she thinks her life is the shit buuuuuuut we know better. And when you speak to this person she has any number of reasons why the other females in the office are "fake or shady" No, they just no better then deal with yo ass, screaming about their delinquent family members less then 12 feet from the Presidents office. How the hell you put the most ghetto person in the building as the receptionist?
Done.

I know exactly what you mean.
ghetto receptionists make the world go round lol. i guess the employers feel they're getting a secretary AND body guard all in one cuz you know everybody's afraid of the black chick :]
ha! sounds like she works for that state
yeah, I had an old coworker like this...she was ALWAYS having drama w/her baby daddy and busting out in tears at her desk. She shared an office with the CFO so it was beyond me as to how her behavior was tolerated but I checked my gmail after lunch every day and THAT was considered more of a problem than her loud, oversharing azz....
I absolutely feel you on this... There are so many situations when I feel that the stereotypes put upon us are SOooooooooo warranted!
Not so much @ work... because there are very few black people where I work... but in GENERAL... I was @ a store this past weekend listening to a man give a presentation on SOMETHING he was trying to sale...
There was an older (maybe 40's 50's) HECKLING the man!! I felt bad for him... and BAD for her... horrible... ignorance is an epidemic... and it's SPREADING!
Yeesh! No home training.
HR wouldn't have it any other way, my dear. You know how important a receptionist is to an organization? They are generally the most loud, gossipy (a word?) two-faced mofos on the planet. HR and the rest of the office goes to them for up to the date dirt on employees...they are def people persons alright...you think the president doesnt notice the behavior of that employee?
I highly doubt it. Most of them will let it slide because usually this person is easy to walk over or has strong admin/prrofreading skills....just my observation.
OMG...I have many of those at my job. ::smh:: I think being ghetto has anything to do with the race though. It's the upbringing and the environment that you are surrounded by that make you GHETTO. =)
Sometimes, I feel like I am watching a show without popcorn. LOL.
Aaaaaaand she's best friends with the HR manager and even he knows what it is.
He got complaints about her attitude as well.
Smh......It'll be over soon.
