Dealing with microaggressions at work. Can you stay positive amidst negativity?
In the realm of social work, you may encounter microaggressions—those subtle, often unintentional, comments or actions that can marginalize or demean individuals based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, or other identities. These interactions, though they may seem small, can accumulate and create a work environment that feels hostile and unwelcoming. However, it's possible to maintain a positive outlook and foster an inclusive workplace by understanding how to navigate these challenging situations effectively.
