It is what it is. Lifelong stutterer here, and I've always worked in retail/public facing jobs. The few desk-type jobs didn't offer much respite, as those presented their own challenges, i.e *talking on the phone and saying my name* (which are my absolute **kryptonite**, especially in a corporate/business setting). And oh la la, the corporate/business/suit types can be cruel. I relate to what it's like in the times regarding work/finding work, as i've applied and being to several interviews where i know my stuttering definitely raised many a furrowed brow (it wouldn't be an issue, they assured, yet they were bent on harping on it). Needless to say, i wasn't waiting by the phone with baited breath for a call back. Whenever i started at a new job, it always took a few weeks for my stuttering to "break in" with the surrounding environment. The first few days, one is nervous (being the new person, and wanting to create a good impression), but then you gradually ease into things. I worked at this bakery/restaurant for 6 years, and it was a clear contrast from when i started till 6 years later. I was still the same stutterer, but the environment was familiar and "safe", so i was more fluent, even with new customers.
