Compliment, Compliment, Compliment

Coming from a world where verbal compliments were taken with a grain of salt—strong black women don’t need confirmation about what they already know to be true, so our response tends to be a dry-ass “Thank you.” Duh, I know my hair is cute!—I was floored by just how much value was placed on showering your friends and, more so, foes with empty, superficial compliments from their bangs, nail color, phone cases, umbrellas, lip color, water bottle, to even their stapler. A good quid-pro-quo compliment session could go on for minutes, especially if a passerby joined. The highest-ranking woman present is often the first to leave the circle jerk, and without the top dog, the underlings find no purpose to continue the charade. The trick is to hold a purposeful, work-related conversation and at the end toss out a compliment while you are already taking a step away. This way they get the attention but not your valuable time.
