  • Didn’t get converted to a permanent position after a whole year. The only negative feedback (among great remarks) I had was:

    1. Be more organized. Send more updates more often.
    2. Speak without tangents or sounding scattered.
    3. Improve prediction of how long tasks will take and completion dates when considering other priorities.

    Does anyone want to guess my diagnosis? Lol

    The maddening thing is that I didn’t get any follow-up after those halfway comments until the surprising notification that my position would be expiring. If I had, I would have pursued accommodations. I thought I had been making progress in improving those things :/






  • n+1 here, but I’m a bi woman married to a straight man and I’ve started using partner more recently because there’s a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

    I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I’m married to identifies.

    At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!
