1 00:00:05,846 --> 00:00:08,914 I'll be honest. I have some concerns about your performance and 2 00:00:08,925 --> 00:00:10,925 ways I'd like to see you improve. 3 00:00:11,208 --> 00:00:14,078 Are you saying I'm not doing a good job? Or I've... 4 00:00:14,129 --> 00:00:14,901 No. No. No. No. 5 00:00:14,967 --> 00:00:17,590 You're doing a good job. It's just... everyone could improve. 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,737 Okay... But there's a bunch of other people out there that can improve as much 7 00:00:21,748 --> 00:00:23,775 or more than I do. I mean, 8 00:00:23,793 --> 00:00:26,546 I... I wonder if you're talking to them. 9 00:00:26,556 --> 00:00:27,869 What are you saying? 10 00:00:27,936 --> 00:00:29,959 Well... honestly, I'm wondering why 11 00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:32,330 I'm the one needing... improvement? 12 00:00:32,447 --> 00:00:33,997 Are you?… 13 00:00:35,116 --> 00:00:35,732 Alright. 14 00:00:35,801 --> 00:00:39,990 Listen. I'm going to be very clear here. This has nothing to do 15 00:00:40,001 --> 00:00:41,357 with the fact that you're... 16 00:00:41,432 --> 00:00:43,169 Black and gay? 17 00:00:43,244 --> 00:00:44,306 Okay. Look. 18 00:00:44,406 --> 00:00:46,888 I am color blind when it comes to these kinds of things. 19 00:00:46,931 --> 00:00:50,071 You could be blue, green... purple with pink polka dots... 20 00:00:50,081 --> 00:00:51,099 it really wouldn't matter. 21 00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:53,533 Honestly... I don't see color. 22 00:00:55,293 --> 00:00:56,165 Really? 23 00:00:56,215 --> 00:00:57,941 Look, this isn't working for me. 24 00:00:58,381 --> 00:01:00,943 When I look in the mirror, I see a Black man… 25 00:01:01,026 --> 00:01:02,892 who happens to be openly gay. 26 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000 And everyone else here knows it, too. 27 00:01:05,281 --> 00:01:06,338 And some... 28 00:01:07,211 --> 00:01:08,673 some have a problem with it. 29 00:01:09,413 --> 00:01:12,423 I was reassigned to Christine as a part of the re-org, but... 30 00:01:13,044 --> 00:01:14,466 they didn't really want me... 31 00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:16,275 I don't fit in. 32 00:01:16,745 --> 00:01:18,479 Okay. That's not what I meant. 33 00:01:18,866 --> 00:01:22,237 And I don't know of any purple people with pink polka dots, either. 34 00:01:25,301 --> 00:01:26,255 Okay. Let's... 35 00:01:26,597 --> 00:01:29,139 Let's start over. This is not what I intended. 36 00:01:32,526 --> 00:01:35,050 You're doing a good job. You’re doing everything that’s expected. But... 37 00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:38,537 with the cuts, and the reorganization, the workload... 38 00:01:38,547 --> 00:01:41,168 I'm just... I need more... from everybody. 39 00:01:41,216 --> 00:01:43,173 And... What does that mean? I... 40 00:01:43,222 --> 00:01:46,282 Well, remember when we first talked? You gave me specific thoughts 41 00:01:46,293 --> 00:01:47,406 on your career goals. 42 00:01:47,448 --> 00:01:47,966 Yah. 43 00:01:48,034 --> 00:01:50,034 That's what I wanted to talk about today. 44 00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:51,001 Oh… 45 00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:53,279 Okay. That’s better. 46 00:01:53,295 --> 00:01:56,030 We have the opportunity to reimagine how we work. 47 00:01:56,066 --> 00:02:00,165 And some of those stretch goals that you have may now be possible. 48 00:02:00,226 --> 00:02:01,344 How does that sound? 49 00:02:01,630 --> 00:02:02,763 Sounds good. 50 00:02:03,176 --> 00:02:03,930 But... 51 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:06,756 I have some feedback I want to share with you first. 52 00:02:07,312 --> 00:02:07,960 Sure. 53 00:02:08,015 --> 00:02:11,445 Yah. So, you said when you see me, that 54 00:02:11,456 --> 00:02:13,476 you don't see my skin color... Ah... 55 00:02:13,596 --> 00:02:14,731 I didn't mean it like that... 56 00:02:14,764 --> 00:02:17,469 When you say something like that though, are ya... are ya... 57 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,813 are you... trying to say it as a compliment? 58 00:02:19,836 --> 00:02:22,994 Or... I know that you know my identities - that I'm 59 00:02:23,004 --> 00:02:24,047 Black and gay. 60 00:02:24,164 --> 00:02:28,164 And when people know that and then they say they don’t see it, it's... 61 00:02:28,175 --> 00:02:29,178 it's just not believable. 62 00:02:29,207 --> 00:02:31,659 You know... I think you may have misunderstood me. I... 63 00:02:31,884 --> 00:02:33,429 I didn't mean... 64 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:37,310 Okay. Look. I'm glad that you said something. I... 65 00:02:38,049 --> 00:02:39,614 I... hadn't thought of it that way. 66 00:02:40,235 --> 00:02:42,743 I always thought being color blind was... 67 00:02:42,948 --> 00:02:44,076 a good thing. 68 00:02:45,726 --> 00:02:48,702 But... Frankie made an important point. 69 00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:49,971 I mean, 70 00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:53,015 how can you not see what's right in front of you?
