Partner Track is the story of a lawyer, Ingrid Yun, who strives to become a
partner at a famous legal firm. Although the show is undoubtedly a romantic
comedy, it also focuses on the many difficulties that Ingrid and her co-workers
encounter in this setting. The show highlights problems, from subliminal sexism
to white fragility. It also shows the struggles that women and people of color
encounter in this sort of workplace.

WORKPLACE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN PARTNER TRACK

Ingrid
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-partner-track-actor-arden-cho-describes-her-character-ingrid-as-three-dimensional/]
has a strong work ethic and even stays at work on weekends and works throughout
the holidays, putting in far more hours than her male coworkers. She has
repeatedly proven herself, yet no one takes her seriously. She has to cope with
subtle and inherent sexism while interacting with customers and coworkers,
including being referred to as “sweetheart” and being mistaken for a secretary.
Ingrid must choose to disregard these microaggressions in these situations or
risk the label of “too sensitive” and being shunned by her colleagues.

Tyler Robinson (Bradley Gibson), a coworker and one of her closest friends who
works in the intellectual property division, is a Black homosexual guy. He, too,
encounters plenty of bigotry. He calls out his coworker Dan Fallon for his
entitled and racist conduct after the latter makes some offensive remarks.

The white, male-dominated workplace they both work in impacts the treatment that
Ingrid and Tyler receive. When the time comes for the year-end announcements,
Ingrid finds out she didn’t earn the promotion after having sacrificed her life
to get this far. She realizes she would have never become a partner because, in
Tyler’s words

system was not made for us.”

is biased against them if they are to succeed in their line of work.
