I am in the United States of America. I have been fired from previous jobs without notice or explanation. Employers are entirely legal in most of my country to do so. However, companies cannot suffer backlash for firing someone without notice, especially if the firing was based on a discriminatory r...

I'm gay, which means I like dudes. I once had a crush on a hot wrestler friend I met at my summer camp. He was very chill, easy to talk to, and had broad shoulders. My Autism had nothing to do with those feelings I experienced back then and have nothing to do with my experiences now. I do realize th...

Woo hoo! A one-paragraph news story. I don't quite understand what they mean by "research."

I remember a portrayal from Grey's Anatomy that made me laugh because of how bad it was. Some of you might remember Dr. Virginia Dixon (portrayed by Mary McDonnell.) I didn't like how they portrayed her as someone who had no empathy whatsoever and clueless about the feelings of others, especially wh...

I just listened to this Frant Liszt. It was initially written as a piano piece, but this man played it on a pipe organ.

You will encounter managers like that while working in retail. I work at a supermarket as a Parking Lot Attendant and I have gone to the back of the store to grab carts from time to time. Nobody has said anything about it. I would look into finding a job somewhere else if management keeps treating y...

I've held a grudge against women I worked with at the factory for years. They asked me personal questions about my life. I'm sure we've all encountered nosy coworkers before. If they ask you such questions repeatedly, this behavior could be considered harassment. HR at my workplace is completely us...

This guy I work with may be related to one of the corporate higher-ups, but I don't know if that is true. (It may explain why he hasn't been fired.) I heard it through the grapevine that he was reassigned because he was talking about dead children in front of a nurse who works at a hospital for chi...

I've been accused of faking my diagnosis because I am not screaming, throwing feces, flapping my hands and making those vocalization sounds that non-verbal Autistic people do.

I have one that I avoid talking to at all costs. I work at a supermarket. This coworker constantly talks about right-wing conspiracy theories and continually compares LGBTQ people to pedophiles and murderers. He and I are both cashiers until a few weeks ago. Customers have complained about him and t...

It's very challenging to meet LGBTQ people. I wouldn't recommend hookup apps. There are some at my work. But, I currently work as a Parking Lot attendant at a very busy supermarket. There really isn't much time to mingle with people because we are expected to remain busy throughout the time we are o...

Last summer, I worked at my local supermarket. I only stayed there for two weeks. I worked in the produce department stocking items in the department. One time, a customer asked me a question I didn't know the answer to. He (the customer) asked if he could buy an entire crate of corn with about 40 s...

Watching LGBT movies/TV shows, having LGBT friends and all of the other things you describe most certainly don't mean one is Gay. Have you considered moving somewhere else? First of all, I identify myself as "straight", but just because I know a few people at my school who are LGBT it does...

I am working at a Giant Eagle Supermarket. I never imagined people would ever feel compelled to thank me for working as a Parking Lot Attendant until COVID-19.

I work for Giant Eagle. (It's a supermarket chain in Pennsylvania.) I work as a Parking Lot Attendant. I started working there that week of Valentine's Day. I never imagined I would hear people thank me for working a job that our society perceives as menial before the COVID-19 pandemic started. Back...
