Worry time 1: I’m scared I might get Karen’d again at work

3 min readMay 23, 2025

What is getting Karen’d? It’s when a white woman lies about a black man in order to get him in trouble. Think about the Karen in the park who called the police on the black man for walking his dog. She was going to use stereotypes against him to potentially ruin his life, and all for nothing.

This type of thing has happened to me many times at work, and I’ve lost my job 3 times due to it. I’m pretty good at accepting what happens to me, but I can’t take it financially. What I don’t need after fighting my way through nearly 1k of debt is more debt.

It also just flat out makes me sick. You’re going to lean on racial stereotypes to get someone fired for no reason. Then you’re going to go back to your simple life like nothing happened, while I have to work night shifts in a warehouse with fucked up people so I don’t get evicted.

Literally me last year. I don’t need sympathy or anything like that, I need the world to know so we can solve this problem. It’s a problem that I know a lot of people see, but they bury their heads in the sand.

At my current job, they don’t like me (surprise, surprise). I don’t care, but it’s getting to breaking point. These people are backstabbers, liars, they’re lazy, and some have emotional issues. One of them has had their kids taken away due…
