My naturally curly hair once those 80s perms went out of style. Clothes “too tight” when pencil skirts were the only skirts you could find at that time that weren’t mini skirts. This is in fashion industry. 🙄

I was told I wasn’t professional because I asked someone nicely to be a team player and help out. Purely because I asked a question.

Tattoos are not professional (I can cover with clothing) or the color of my hair was not professional (I used to love colors)!

As an avid cusser. I don’t like it in the workplace. It blurs the respect line. I honor that’s my *feeling* though & don’t think someone is unprofessional just bc they cuss.

I keep being told I need to be more “polished”. I refuse. If I was, then I wouldn’t have gotten where I am. I’ll keep my chaotic vibes thank you. Bc I’m good at what I do.

Professionalism should be akin to productivity. Anything else is prejudice and hypocrisy.

Tattoos, hair dye, the “right” makeup. What’s so serious about saving spreadsheets and paying invoices that hair dye and bare face is going to cause a system collapse?

I was most recently in a manager role. I expanded my team from 2 employees to 6 employees in 5 months and had them all trained on end to end process AND had them involved in process decisions since it directly impacted them. My boss had a conversation with me about “professionalism” while members of my team were speaking on calls because some of my team pronounced words differently than others. It was a direct attack on the non-white employees. It was the last straw for me.

I call my boss "bruh" when he puts too much on my plate. I'm tired of masking at work. as a Latina in corporate America I wear hoops daily. the big ones when I have a big presentation. I run circles around these mediocre middle aged white men.
