Microaggressions at Work
• What happens when a colleague doesn’t like being “called out?”
• You will often have to make a choice about how to handle coworkers who are being insulting and/or discriminatory
• You have options in how you handle these situations:
• Use your conflict management and communication skills. That is one option. What else could you do if faced with an uncomfortable situation?
• Approach Program Managers, advisors, and internship specialists
• Report events to internship managers and internship HR
• Document instances of repeated microaggressions to use as conversation starters with HR
No one should ever have to work in an environment where you feel unsafe or embarrassed.
