Black Leaders vs. HR: From PIPs to Token Benefits

Listen Later

For many Black professionals, HR isn’t protection, it’s surveillance.

In this episode, we’re naming the truth that too often gets whispered behind closed doors: Human Resources departments are not neutral. From weaponized PIPs to dismissive responses to harm, Black leaders are navigating systems designed to protect the institution, not the individual.

We break down:

  • The difference between HR and real accountability

  • How race shapes the narrative around “performance”

  • The subtle signs you’re being set up, and what to do next

  • How so-called inclusive benefits are often just PR, not policy

  • What it looks like to build safety and strategy outside the system

    • RESOURCES
