the gorls seem to be torn on this in the comments  :

some are saying, "she just putting yall onto game!"
and others are dragging her for the whole thing

but i'm side eyeing her...
not cuz of the advice she's giving, because i actually know people who have switched up their names to be more "simple" for the corporate space
the advice she's giving are things i have seen done

for me it's the language she's using.
"your HOOD name"... comes off very condescending/classist
" WE are judging you." ..."we" to me implies that she aligns with what's going on and is part of it. as opposed to saying "THEY are judging you, and I'M here to let u know what the tea is so u can get in the door sis".

little things like that can really reveal a tea.

and she needs to fix those lashes .

but maybe it's a good thing that she was edgy with it
the gorls love MESS so this will spread to more people

and the advice she's giving is actually good and it's real.

there's actually something to take from it and use

corporate survival/conformity for us is kinda an actual thing

But who really didn't know this though? I've heard this my entire life. :dead:

I remember Condoleeza Rice saying that her elders would always tell her she'd never get a job with that name.

The gorls don't know this already?

Yes it's sad that you have to assimilate and use some cookie cutter Caucasian name, but it's reality.

And this really goes for any "ethnic" sounding name.

i def know of a Juan who switched his name to "Paul" with the quickness

and a Woon Chin Hoo who changed his mess to "Tony"

it's really sad if u sit to think of it but it's a White country

not much different than me having to leave my Southside talk in...Southside during business hours

:omf:

just one of the many ways we must blend in to get our checks

u meant corporate right?

if so i agree

i don't think it's so much a super common sense thing
i was actually surprised when i found people actually switching their names

but not every person with an ethnic name is gonna switch it up
a lot of them will stand in their mess and just move forward
having one of those names doesn't automatically mean you'll hit a brick wall

Kamala is actually a very ethnic sounding name

it's so crazy

anything we do that they can't copy ... it ends up being deemed hood, and anything they can appropriate, especially for money, they suck it dry

how much more self-centered can a race collectively be  :uhh:

Title: Re: Black HR lady: "Your hood name won't get you in the door."
Post by: ATLien on February 21, 2021, 02:59:40 PM
those names just speak to black creativity
i always thought the Daquans and Loquan, etc. names were super cool growing up

i side eye the gorls who walk around super proud of having a more "proper" name
like sis u do know that the only reason it's so proper and "fancy" is because it's white and plain as fuck right? :omf:

u won't have to change ur name for a resume so that's a plus but don't flatter urself

Yh I meant corporate mdmdmdmdmkd
I feel like this is more geared for those high powered roles like finance, banking, government , administration, private sector roles ect ect
I work in Health and it's really more about qualifications and experience than rather than what your name is giving

I think this is really just something  very racist whites and shame based blacks practice 

everyone else is gucci on the name 

some even like fulfilling a black quota and will often hire a shontiqua just based off the name 

so 

blacks talk about this more than whites tho so hmmm

Post by: Bentley. HARRIS! on February 21, 2021, 03:17:33 PM
this kinda pisses me off that she posted it tho as a "helpful hints tee hee" mess :uhh:
the fact is "names" were taken from us by force, that we can't ever get back because they destroyed

names beat out of us for generations, until we were all named jackson, johnson, smith, brown, williams   :uhh:

like ... does she think her ancestors would've been calling her Sarah Johnson  :-/ :blink:

parts of me believe that blacks are subconsciously recreating those words and names but it's so mixed with other languages now
they did a study a long time ago to determine whether Ebonics has its roots in the ancestry of its speakers
and I think they concluded that it did

You turning away Xing Hau or Aarav because they names are a bit too difficult to pronounce?

This is a PR nightmare for any company. She probably works in HR as an assistant or knows someone who actually works in HR.

This may be the case for some recruiters, BUT a lot of companies are trying to UP their representation numbers. Companies actually want to hire Blacks and Latinos. They're seeking out identifiers such as someone's name or LinkedIn photo to determine if they're Black to interview them.
