Title: I'm out at work!
Post by: Rambler on November 07, 2017, 11:47:25 AM
Last Friday the email announcements from me and the HR department were sent out company wide and yesterday I showed up for my first professional day as Libbey. I'm happy to say that with the expected exception of a few weird looks and "man's" everyone has been great so far. It's a surreal feeling to finally be here!

Congratulations for steps forward to be who you are. I am also out at work to since I work as home health Care. I'm always arriving at client home in woman attire, and I always let client know why when they supposed to meet a man. No one has any problem with it yet as long I do all the tasks they're asking.

Well, congratulations girl! 

I was surprised by the support and acceptance I had a work.  I shouldn't have been so pessimistic.
