I think companies like to pat themselves on the back for having "pets".

When Black women resist their status as pets, they find themselves transforming into a threat. “I think in every career trajectory there comes an opportunity for a promotion or leadership, where the individual has a level of influence or power to make significant changes and to rethink how business is done. That’s when women are probably most vulnerable to getting recast as threatening, because their colleagues are pushing back on the person legitimately exerting their influence in the workplace,” Thomas says.

I think companies like to pat themselves on the back for having "pets". They think they are giving someone an opportunity but the reality is they feel like they have full control over that person. Then, when that person asks for real power...the gates are drawn up. Nice read.
