TikTok reviews

If you are not a white male you will not be allowed to promote within TikTok. Most, if not all senior leadership have no experience working with other black leaders thus creating consistent bias in their perceptions and reviews of black talent. Look at TikTok's structure and question why the white employees are promoted to higher levels of leadership within 1-2 years while black leaders and employees are off boarded within the same time frame consistently. Hiring other minorities within the company is not a way to ignore the underrepresentation of African American leaders. Most of the decisions do in fact roll down from China with the disguise of other leaders making the decisions. These leaders are not based in the US either. Promotions are for those who talk a lot with no proof of impact.

It is a really mixed bag when it comes to management. You can find some of the best ones in the industry just as much as some of the worst human beings around. Problem is: the tools in place to deal with bad people are only a façade. Upper management is too busy to address it.
