Nice offices and company events

Cons

There’s so much racism at Capgemini. Yes, they hire people of color, but the way black employees are treated is absolutely disgusting.

My partner and I both work for Capgemini. For the past 18 months, the amount of racism I’ve seen shown towards him is disheartening.

As an ally for racism towards anyone, I feel it is my duty to speak up when I can.

I have witnessed managers:

  • Speak over black employees during meetings
  • Cut them off
  • Question any and everything they do
  • Strategically target them to have them fired

Enough is enough.

I find it strange that the racism and microaggressions are mostly coming from those of the southeast Asian employees.

Capgemini boasts about their diversity but never takes into account what their black and brown employees experience. Typical corporate office.

My partner tries to just keep quiet about it, but I can’t allow it to continue.

What’s the point in hiring all people of color if you treat the black employees like incompetent criminals at every chance you get?

Advice to Management

I have no advice for management. People have voiced their opinions and experiences before and have been met with gaslighting, and the cycle continues. I’m currently looking for employment elsewhere.
