As a woman and a person of color, I've been on the receiving end of many microaggressions. "It's not enough to simply eliminate negative interactions — we also need to encourage positive ones." "Different microvalidations will be affirming for different people and in different circumstances, so it's important to know your audience and context." Trans people can also be on the receiving end of micoaggressions at work . For those on the receiving end, the comments can feel anything but "micro," according to a recent Forbes article.

Microaggressions are indirect or subtle expressions of racism, sexism, ageism, or ableism. A number of Black workers report facing less discrimination and fewer microaggressions working from home than when they're at the office. Some women of color say remote work has helped them in the same way, too. From telling a new female worker that she "looks like a student" to asking a Black colleague about her natural hair, microaggressions can make a workplace feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and toxic. Since microaggressions are subtle, it's often hard to know if you're committing one or if you're on the receiving end.
