[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a white woman, have been replaced by multiple people when leaving a couple of jobs now.  Agree POC can especially get overlooked.  I think it also takes a certain personality type.  For all of us, what is the best way to turn this around?[/quote]

I think in many of the situations described here, the only thing we can do is get out of the role and understand early on that we can't stay in it without support for more than a year, let's say. I've been in my position for more than two years, and it's starting to crumble under the weight of too many tasks and responsibilities for one person. I understand now that it's not that leadership can't hire support-- they don't WANT to hire anyone else. I'd advise anyone else in this role to read the job description carefully, and when you're told the person in this role is expected to do [b]whatever management needs them to do[/b], take it literally and start planning your exit strategy early on. Think about your talents, and where you'd like to be, and start planning to move into the role you want. I now see my POC role for what it is-- it's a foot in the door, but certainly not a job you want to be stuck in for too long. [/quote]
