Not surprising given the lack of representation but I’ve found it really hard to find other professional queer women, even in a major city - any recs for where to look?

I think there may be more than you think! Being visibly queer at work is something that I sometimes find challenging as a femme woman. I think the first step is usually finding one or two others, and then tapping into their networks. I’m thinking about setting up a recurring hh/event in my city though!

Hi all

I am getting mails to report to office.
My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??

Whether I present female or male, it’s not an environment I’m likely to pass super well in so wondering about how lgbt welcoming it will be.

Hi all, my ten-year-old recently informed us that they’re non-binary. I raised my kids on queer culture so I’m actually kinda proud. I’m not non-binary myself though so I don’t know how it feels to be 10 years old and NB. How did you feel at that age? Any advice for a parent?
