Discussion: trans-programmer workplaces
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Hyia!
I have already mentioned how "nice" it is to be a trans girl in a small legacy software company, so unless anybody wants that I will not go into detail.
but I would love to hear others experiences or advice <3, positive or negative, what kind of company do you work at?, how is your experience?
infodumps welcome!
Lots of love <3, Xea
I agree with your point on small software comps, issue is, I was still very unsure about my identity when I got hired, which is imo the only reason they took me, considering Im constantly disrespected, called by my deadname although I have made it clear I don't want to be and I constantly listen to my coworkers talk about the "insanity of gender politics" as most of them are in the age close to retiring, which didn't make it easy to actually learn to be myself
also wow you have alot of experience!! :o
The way I wrote it makes it look bigger than it is
Overall it's just ~3 years out of school
If your coworkers are like that, it's all ogre, this is the company's culture and they're never going to let go senior people who became friends with everyone if irreconcilable differences were to arise between you and them - also management probably shares the same opinions
I mean ... that makes it seam like even more for me :3
jup that is how it feels and I have kind of emotionally adjusted to it, I have been meaning to look somewhere else, but I have no plan and no energy, I can't just join some big corp because I couldn't get a full education and the only reason I choose this place is because of my rather severe sensory issues
