Have you ever gone above and beyond your job role only to feel emotionally drained? These days, emotional labor is all inclusive. Being expected to do things for free in order to get the job done while keeping your emotions in check all fall under emotional labor. Join us at the Port of Portland while we explore and discuss ways of lifting women up and creating a support group at work.
Moderated by Priscilla Lim from Port of Portland and speakers Tanya Webb, from Puppet, Lakecia Gunter from Intel, and Tara Zaremba from the city of Seattle, this panel will discuss different types of emotional labor in the workplace, race and how it affects people of color, and cultural norms and stereotypes that are happening in the workplace.
