I've been in banking for about 18 years now.
I'm in a department now with a few black women and more than a few times I've heard the threat mentioned "I'll get my son" or "I'll get my guy" to sort out whatever situation.
One day a manager reprimanded this gal name Janai. The next day Janai comes driving into work with her boyfriend and apparently this guy was giving a death stare and muttering stuff to himself when they saw the manager.... the manager saw all of this.
During the team meeting that morning the manager calls out Janai and says "who was that guy you were with?"
Janai tried to play stupid (not thinking Michelle would actually call her out on it). Michelle pressed, "you know... the one who was looking at me like he wanted to kill me. Did you bring him here because of yesterday?"
It was hilarious to watch it play out.
Other times when a gal has been fired we had to have Physical Security (an actual department) on hand because of threats that guys that are associated with these gals are coming to fuck up people in the department. People who had nothing to do with it.
