Dear Auntyji

or true recognition?

My name is Jaitun Nisha and I am a data scientist working a large bank in Sydney. I am also a hijaban - which means I wear the hijab to work. Now our bank has been talking about our diversity measures, and last week, my manager advised me that I was getting a promotion and that I was being put forward for a management role. Auntyji, I have been working really hard, and at first I was really pleased with this recognition - however, I have begun to think about this and am wondering whether they are giving me a promotion because I am a token Muslim and I help make their diversity numbers look good. I don't want my colleagues to think that's the only reason I got the promotion. What should I do - should I turn down the role?

AUNTYJI

Says

Taubatauba! What is going on in the month of February that I am getting all sorts of dimwits writing to me about crazy stuff. Well, listen to me, and listen to me real good Jaitun Nisha. While it's true that organisations want to improve their diversity measures, this must not come at the risk of tokenism. It is always going to be a meritocracy - because everyone will see through any box ticking exercise. So if your naseeb khul gayi hai and you have been offered a promotion, then masha Allah, you must give thanks for it, acknowledge the barakat that has come your way and work damn hard to ensure no one will ever think you got the role because you tick a diversity box. You yourself have said that you have worked hard - and do you know how rare it is to find good data scientists? So here you are, being smart, working hard, getting recognised and you immediately allow the shaitaan to colour your thinking? Now that's not very scientist-like, is it? In fact, if you really are a data scientist, you will also know that diversity metrics need to yield results - and if there is tokenism, very soon, the whole thing will fall apart, like a boondi laddoo in the hands of a fat little petu. So stop thinking like an unpadh ganwar and accept your recognition and show the world what Jaitun Nisha the ninja data scientist can do. Salaam.
