It's not a racist thing, but in my experience, especially when you come in from the outside, they have a REAL hard time respecting superiors that look like me.

and I'm tired of pretending it's communication style, or culture clash. This recent joint, had a director telling me she thought she was 2nd in command.

She's a director
I'm the CFO
Then there's the CEO.

There is no COO

how in God's name did you think you outranked me?

smh

I hate it here.
