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
