This is not acceptable behavior of your employer. First, make sure what the law is, (so do your homework) contact Union, centre for discrimination/diversity/inclusion or equal in your country. (if ex...

You need and deserve a much more understanding and patient employer who won't turn your stutter into a big deal. I wouldn't go back! You can still be confident regardless of stuttering. There's no nee...
