Find a different position or different company. Those are some low brow people that you don’t want to be taking orders from. There are plenty of other customer service jobs or jobs outside of dealin...

How do you deal with customers insulting you for your stutter?

How do you deal with customers insulting you for your stutter? As the title suggest, this question is for workers that have a stutter. I get insulted by customers for my stutter all the time. They s...

As a kid I was a moderate to severe stutterer and what helped me the most besides speech therapy. Was joining BJJ and grappling. That gave me confidence I didn't have before and it helped me relax so ...

I left another comment but deleted it due to me kinda rambling lol. But I started doing BJJ and grappling when I was 16-19 and it helped me personally a ton. More than speech therapy did. I think it w...

How do you reconcile stuttering and being a man?

How do you reconcile stuttering and being a man? As a man, I’m expected to be the “protector” in a relationship. Masculinity is embodied by confidence, charisma and and assertiveness. As a moderate t...

I didn't unfortunately. Im fluent enough to convince people i speak to of having no speech impediment. However at my new place of work when working the tills there is a script to follow and you must a...

I let my stutter disclose itself. The first time I block I'll just say something along the lines of "excuse me a moment, I have a speech impediment". I've never had an interviewer openly have any is...

I've gotten better about it over the years. This sketch is hilarious and extremely relatable. I'm an Army NCO currently and it's pretty hard to be the "big mean scary" sergeant when I have to be. I'll...

I work in fast food and it blows. I usually clean the front dining area so am surrounded by people all day many of which make fun of me. Sucks...

Hahahaha. I'm always mad at why companies send a mail instead of calling when email is in bold on my CV xd. Its even more weird when an interviewer says that you were fine on the call. Whyre you stamm...

That's okay.. My mum still makes all appointments for me... It's just so much easier. If I can manage to convince my roommate to answer the phone for me when I don't know who it is, she does it. 🤦‍♀️...

Nothing. I dont talk on phone at all now..and it's way more embarrassing now that I'm getting interview calls and i run to find a friend or brother to pick it up....

Yea the co-worker I spoke to did shoot her a text message that I asked about my schedule. After that she told me to call tomorrow and ask for her. I was thinking of just recording myself, I thought ab...
