The Corporate Diaries - Fighting a Losing Battle, When the System Protects the Problem

In this first installment of The Corporate Diaries, we’re getting into the kind of story too many women of color in corporate spaces know all too well.Olivia’s experience started with a small misstep, a minor delay in communication, and spiraled into something much bigger. What followed was persistent scrutiny from a difficult director, public email callouts, lack of leadership support, and eventually being placed on a PIP, despite strong performance. The kicker? HR backed the toxic behavior.This episode is about what it feels like to be unfairly targeted at work: the gaslighting, the politics, and the emotional exhaustion. It’s the behind-the-scenes reality that rarely makes it into performance reviews or exit interviews… but lives with us long after we log off.If you have a story to share, share it here: https://tr.ee/raAwV9Gq1Q
