Talking is talking. Stuttering is something else. Stuttering is a condition that affects talking. But yes, speech therapy can help with the stuttering. That's not just "getting good at talking", thou...

I get what you mean about the force of will and bag of tricks. Thanks to that, a lot of people don't notice that I stutter until I tell them. A lot of times, a special situation triggers my stutter. L...

Just to update everyone, I got the job at my dream company! I've been here for over a month now and I love it. Thanks so much for the tips....

Congratulations and I'm glad for you! I hope you get the job! As a stutterer myself interviews have been hard for me as I tend to lose eye contact when I begin to stutter. I have an interview using Z...

I can understand that, interviews can be crushing sometimes. Aside from my ability to be flawless for 10-15 minutes straight (force of will + bag of tricks), they can be tough to do. One of my tricks,...

I was like that originally in my low 20s. Eventually I was like, alright, I'm never going to get anywhere so I put myself through college. I knew I was going from a slow boil into a frying pan for a w...

When you have a family to support, mortgage, bills, and all that it's not so cut and dry. Rocking the boat can get me in a bad position. I would approach HR if I actually had proof, but doing what you...

I just had an online job-interview via Zoom

I just had an online job-interview via Zoom It was in English and as a non-native English speaker it was very very hard for me. Right now I'm sweating and I don't feel really good, but I still feel re...

Dude, what kind of messed up people do you work for? Hold your ground when people demote you and put you down like that. I know you need a job to survive, but have some self-respect Jesus. If a boss w...

I hear you. While I was still in college I was a math tutor and I was let go. My boss said I'm not a good fit as she fired me after I'd been working there for a year. My stutter likely had something t...

Well I’ve been at the same job for 8 years and haven’t advanced at all. And always been afraid to switch jobs. So what does that tell ya...

My stutter isn’t too serious, but it really hinders my ability to fire back answers, deliver punchlines or start conversations, so I mostly just stay quiet. As far I can tell no one at work knows I st...

Yep, I now I'm in debt with tens of thousands of dollars from college. So it would be hard to have a job that doesn't pay high because of my monthly college bills. A large part of me regrets ever pick...

I wouldn't mind that if it was doing something with one of my 2 college degrees. Are you talking like a postal worker delivering mail?...

It's toxic because it's a high demand job, often underpaid and overworked. People are constantly stressed out. I know there's jobs out there that you know what you're going to work on tomorrow, and th...

Yea, I'm glad that others are not experiencing what I have. It's given me a lot of rot on the inside for a long time. It's gotten better over the years though, but the rot is still there. I know I'm w...

Hi OP, I'm curently in IT. Your 5th job kind of reinforces my belief that this field is mostly a toxic cesspool. My stuttering issue makes it difficult for me to explain things to both co-workers an...

Generally, governments have hiring programs designated specifically for people with disabilities (cause stuttering is one). If trying for a federal job, you need to get a Schedule A letter from a doct...

Yea, you're right I probably just had a long streak of bad luck. I don't have any evidence, but I vowed to myself ever since the engineering firm job that if I ever do get evidence down the road, that...

Management can make or break a position, which it seems like every superior you had was a grade A douche. I’ve had my challenges while finding and procuring employment, but nothing to that extent. If...
