Kolleen, I keep wanting to leave this job. Frankly, too many triggers for me when I hear people's problems and the way some of them talk. I also had another client get nasty with me a few days ago. Years ago, I had the manager from hell. she was in prison when she was in her country and they tormented her mentally. she was doing the same to me. it was mental anguish for me every day at work. I am scared to go to another job and find that I have nasty colleagues or manager,............ My colleagues at this job are very supportive. My manager is very supportive. It is so hard to leave them, but I am really struggling. You mentioned a different job in the same organization, I will keep checking their website and see if something else comes up. Its everywhere Heidi. I work for a $7B manufacturing company (one that Kolleen knows) and I was up for promotion this year but had to allow HR to post the job to see if someone who "checks one of the other boxes" would apply so they could offer the job to them. When I had to apply for my own job I almost checked the non-binary box just out of spite. Its all about diversity and inclusion - but to the point of where the 97% are being discriminated against to appease the 3%. When I watch the news (which is rarely) I'm appalled by scenes that seem to be reflections of Sodom and Gomorrah. This world is going to h.e. double hockey sticks in a hand basket at the speed of light. Lord get us out of here. LOL! You should have checked the non-binary box, Todd! Diversity and inclusion will bring this country down to her knees. Those who impose these things do not seem to understand that the way to have people become inclusive is by educating them, not by giving handouts. If they choose to not be educated then they should not be rewarded with better jobs just because they check all the wrong boxes. Rewarding a minority group with a high level job to ease the sins of the past does not better that person. It actually is harmful to them in that they cannot execute the job they have been given to do. Just look at Lori Lightfoot. I believe it was Jordan Peterson who pointed out that having a 50/50 ratio of men and women in an engineering firm brings the level of quality work down because that firm did not hire the best engineers. They only hired to meet the quota. This is not because men are inherently smarter than women, it is because the ratio of men to women at engineering schools is something like 90/10 (my numbers may be off but it's in the ball park). Unless those women hired are at equal footing with the top men then it is counterproductive. This simply breed mediocrity. I am one who has always believed in equal pay for the job regardless of sex, creed, religion, etc., but I also believe the best credentialed individual's should get that job, not the ones who meet the requirements of those who live in a fantasy world. The problem with the liberal mind is that it does not live in reality. Again when I see men with full beards wearing dresses and women dressing and acting like men, I want to vomit! But these sexual sins and blurring of Godly roles only highlights how depraved and off mark we are! TR Its everywhere Heidi.

OK, I have to Google Non-binary now, forgot what that means.
