I took on a Job at Voodoo Donuts where I was welcomed with open arms. I was told it was a company that takes care of their people and has high expectations. But it turns out the “taking care of people” part is only for a certain demographic. The job was great in the Denver market. Had a chance to work with some awesome people. But in the Northwest market it’s pretty clear that if you are not a woman or trans, management will immediately treat you different. As a black straight man all I ever ran into was ridicule and trainers rolling their eyes. They wanted me to follow every standard to a T or I would lose my job. But everyone around me could do what ever they wanted. The District manager I had was clearly racist and sexist. If it was a woman that needed help or didn’t understand something she would be super nice and resourceful, following the person around like a puppy. If I asked for help or coaching I was told that I am “slow and retarded.” Apparently that’s a professional opinion at voodoo donuts. I have watched how the management treats men and people of color like they are stupid. If you are a straight man do not work at voodoo donuts in the northwest. There’s a weird cult like mentality that the hire ups can’t seem to control.
