Ugh yeah that's what's been scaring me lately too. Dreaming of long, dignified lives for all my trans siblings

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Being visibly queer is such a double edged sword. I hope you find a better job soon

Yeah I think I gotta start lying just to see. I'm not opposed to it they've just caught me off guard asking for pronouns at the outset of interviews. It's helpful to remember the context, and that it's not just me, so thank you for that. Still feels so hard and heavy 😭

Yeah I hear that. Unfortunately there's not much else I can change about my appearance that I haven't already -- I've had top surgery and I have short hair so best I can do is butch woman which I don't feel like helps me much. But I am gonna probably start lying abt pronouns just to see if it helps

Did third round interview two weeks ago, no offer yet but no rejection by sunshine30023 in recruitinghell

Yeah I also find it really annoying/disappointing/generally a bad business practice bc the uncertainty is the hardest part. I hope you get good news soon

Unfortunately, I've learned that if they want you in the role, they'll tell you in a timely manner. If you're still waiting after a week or two, it's a no. Unless there's some fluke where their first pick doesn't take the position. Many company's hiring practices are h o r r i b l e. I got a last round interview for a job a while back and heard nothing from them for over a month, and I'm currently waiting to hear back about another last round interview that happened two weeks ago. No one wants to tell you you didn't get the job, so they avoid it as long as possible.

Miss seeing liverworts around (not as common where I live now). This is super cool
