"So true.  The "just be yourself" advice is like the "titles don't matter" and "bring your whole self to work" advice. 

It doesn't help (and often will hinder) people outside the dominant demographic.

    "So much of career success is knowing how to behave at work. The usual advice is, "Just be yourself." But this only applies if you're a member of the dominant demographic in your workplace: a
    working-class man on a building site, a middle-class woman in a teachers' staff room, a young white man in a tech start-up. Anyone else needs to learn the dominant group's codes of dress, humour, eating etc and put them on like a costume every morning.
