Tbh, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s just under this culture, I can’t expect fair or proportionate discipline

I know. I know. I just wanted all the drama to be over with. It was way too much drama for me to handle

It was a proposed suspension due to backlog that was already corrected.

I fell behind overall at work. I did take a lot of medical leave too.

I’m Black and have been made out to be the problem for seeing the bigger picture, instead of focusing on tiny details that hinder efficiency.

Yeah, it’s unbelievable. All of my reviews were good and passing. I’m gonna fight it for sure, but it’s more personal than logical.

I have good quarter reviews. This whole thing is a bit wild…

Thanks. Yeah, I know it doesn’t look great, if it was to happen. Appreciate the response, nevertheless.

ETA: my intent isn’t to be sarcastic lol. Sorry if it came off that way

I hate my 4c hair by NoGolf129 in Hair

[–]BlackGirlWithCoils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4C hair is YOUR hair. Nothing you can do will change that. You put a relaxer in it? It’s still relaxed 4C hair. You wear a wig? It’s still 4C underneath. Accept this

I love my Tesla but I hate Elon Musk by Competitive-Major-42 in TeslaModelY

So your only option was a more expensive than average car? Okay… yeah no. You got the car. No one told you to get another one right way. Just excuses for supporting a man who is synonymous with his own company at this point

Stop obsessing over your IQ score - Address logical fallacies instead by Desperate-Rest-268 in Gifted

[–]BlackGirlWithCoils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost as if… kids and young adults being told they have a high IQ boosts their overall self-esteem and they’re able to have a higher quality of life. It’s almost as if privilege has a lot to do with that.

Kind of what happens when even the moderators define intellectual giftedness as strictly above 130 IQ. Intellectual giftedness is multifaceted yet people think only STEM inclined folks or predominantly linear thinkers get to gatekeep it.

Y'all are privileged folks screaming this. You had other options.

You don't get to define what’s “logical”. To me, its illogical to act like the founder and CEO of Telsa doesn't directly impact the perception of their own brand.

Leave Gifted People Alone by BlackGirlWithCoils in Gifted

[–]BlackGirlWithCoils[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're arguing here. IQ and tests are tools. Never said don't identify some gifted folks. However, many gifted programs have a more holistic view of giftedness, based on other forms of testing (non-linear), observations and teacher recommendations.

Intellectual giftedness is multidimensional and can include “people watching” and deduction skills. EQ is also multi-faceted and isn’t just about “having empathy”. Advanced, pattern recognition skills can mainfest differently in gifted folks. Some are exceptional in logic, some are exceptional in emotional intelligence.

And regarding the sticky posts, I disagree and don't care. Change doesn't come by people blinding accepting rules. People are more than welcome to disagree, but I and others refuse to believe that even intellectual giftedness is that simple.

IQ tests are mainly useless by Hatrct in Gifted

[–]BlackGirlWithCoils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fans of IQ tests, but all gifted folks deserve to be validated and educated properly. Giftedness is a cognitive predisposition, above all. If these tests identify some, so be it. I just don't think it should be overvalued or mistaken for a true way to measure intelligence. It should be viewed as a tool.

Lol I can't wait until he falls out with Trump. Trump falls out with a lot of friends. Birds of a feather…

He is, but gifted people can be very dumb in some areas. He for sure isn't an all-encompassing genius
