I appreciate your effort. However, if my boss said something to me about my stutter on my first day, I’d want to crawl into a hole. One time I was presenting a training class, I stuttered, someone...

I love that you're asking this. I would say something to them in person so that the message isn't distorted and is crystal-clear. Emails or texts can sometimes give off a different message. Ask how...
