[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a meeting with my manager yesterday in reference to why I was turned down for a recent promotion. She says that she spoke with the manager in the respective department and the consensus was that people think that [b]I am mean and impossible to work with[/b]. Which is definitely not true, I am just quiet. My manager says she knows this is true, but in order to progress I need to be more outgoing. I can't really relate to my coworkers and it's not my ideal working environment due to it not being diverse. I'm African American just like approximately 70-80 percent of the people here. Obviously, I know the solution is to find a new job. But it's a struggle to be here. I want to quit so badly, but it's not financially feasible. I honestly am struggling to do any work and my morale is low.
How can I deal with while looking for a new job?

People say similar things about me, but struggle to find an exact example when I was hard or difficult. It's like fighting a reputation that's untrue. If it comes up again, ask them for examples and constructive criticism on how to handle situations better. Let them see you are working on it.

If they really do think you are mean and impossible, could you count on them as references for a new position? Consider making things better where you are while looking for a new job.[/quote]
