Minorities are treated like tokens - Marketing AstraZeneca Employee Review

The company is big on Inclusion & Diversity, which is good. However, the push for I&D is also making minorities, especially blacks, targets of micro aggressions, overt racism, sabotage and tokenism. I have watched black women get belittled, demeaned, ignored, disrespected and bullied. There is resentment towards people of color in the workplace. Some workers perpetuate the stereotypes that they are dead weight, stupid and lazy. They are policed and critically judged as always lacking and inadequate. Sadly, some of the people of color who work here have bought into the same narrative and join in on bullying other people of color in an effort to secure their positions of favor. The pay is good, but anticipate to be treated like a second class citizen by some of your colleagues. You will be ignored. And generally dismissed and disrespected everyday. Also, the company says they trust their employees, but they really do not. They are forcing people to return to the office when COVID-19 numbers are spiking, employees are expressing concerns for their well-being and other companies are pushing back their return dates.
