a question came up in MSFT's New Future of Work #NFW2020 about the role of anger in the workplace. My fantastic colleague Tawanna Dillahunt highlighted, as she generously has before, that only some people have the privilege of being angry at work. I think about that often.

This is not new at all. But it still takes work to be the person to bring it up to a panel and a remote audience and in the context of lots of folks in powerful positions in powerful organizations.

I mentioned this yesterday, but I (personally) still feel uncomfortable dealing with *anyone* expressing ANGER in a work context. Again, for me personally, it isn't productive, and (I believe) not necessary for me to feel that something needs to be done / changed.

Lots to think through. First point is the pernicious stereotype itself. If a white man and a Black women say the same critical thing but he is perceived as smart and thoughtful (or whatever) and she is perceived as the angry Black women, that's harmful. I think you agree w/ that.
