One of your best! You did the right thing by challenging the discriminatory attitude and behavior rather than the person. But microaggressions, like the one you experienced, significantly and adversely keep impacting our organizational health by creating a toxic work culture that corrodes employee engagement and the overall employee experience. Another consequence of the microaggressions we experienced is the imposter syndrome, which involves feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite our education, experience, and accomplishments. I know you, and to counter these feelings, you end up working harder and holding yourself to ever higher standards.
