When performing the same tasks as my Caucasian peers, the manager subjected me and my Hispanic team member to additional questioning. She doubted, undermined, and micromanaged our work. On team projects, she would defer to my Caucasian team members, she would reassign my and my Hispanic colleague’s tasks to them, she would routinely ignore my inputs and those of my Hispanic peers. She would roll her eyes or cut us off in the middle of sentences. When I met with her to share how I felt and provided several specific examples, she got defensive, claimed to not remember the instances of bias and mistreatment, and said that I was being “sensitive to being treated differently”.
