Good advice, thank you! Unfortunately, my boss listens to Hannity at lunch every day and has told transphobic stories in our team meetings before as "jokes", so I'm probably going to quit and try to just start my next job with my new name. I'll still have to update folks in my industry that I know and get along with, but hopefully I can avoid having to deal with my asshole boss.
Well, maybe record those instances as best you can. Come out, get a little bit of harassment and then take them to court and retire.
Not an ideal plan, granted. But we can’t be letting Hannity-watchers have money.
Very true haha 😂 Agree it’s not the ideal plan, but if I don’t get an offer somewhere else soon, I might go for it! I’m just so sick of having to boymode every weekday.
But I do already have a bit of a paper trail going on this stuff… I guess I just worry that HR would side with the director who has been here more than a decade, instead of the trans girl who’s been there less than 3.
If things blow up, keep cool and if HR comes to you with something to sign - even if it means they'll pay you some compensation- DONT SIGN ANYTHING! Get an employment lawyer - they live for this shit, and some will work on commission. This could be a great opportunity!
HR will side with the company, every time.
That MIGHT mean stonewalling you, if they think they can get away with it.
It MIGHT mean a cheque and you signing a release.
