First time posting here.

I realized recently after reading an article about being a "diversity hire" that I myself was a "diversity hire". The manager pretty much even told me this in the interview, but it didn't click until I read that article.

Still processing this.

Also learned a coworker hired at the same time as me with the same amount of experience makes $2 more than me... Also still processing that.

Meanwhile, PPD is kicking my butt and work is definitely making it worse at the moment. I am mentally exhausted.
