I’ve been in those workplaces. The last one saw me mobbed out on a phony allegation the day before I went to a funeral, told my actions “T-T-Trump any explanation” by a director of Eng (Cormack at OpenTable, there’s been total refusal of dialog so I name him... and he stuttered-ed-ed it like that). In reality I used a colorful descriptor to get a persistent drunk girl to leave me alone, but the grape vine escalated to include drunken table flipping and there were 3 “matching” reports. Friends, man. Was also mobbed out of a prior job in the same way, but didn’t observe the social dynamics much then. Both involved Cal snowflakes. Kids are bannanas and my 18 year career is wrecked, over a mild potty mouth... it’s not what you say, it’s your social status when you say it; sounds like you’re bottom of the totem.

Making fun of a stutter isn't cool.
