I'd applied to a job recently. Roommate works there. Meet two of the managers. Interviews go well. All but hired on the spot.
Few days pass; hear nothing. Don't think too much about it. Apply to other places.
Told that they're just waiting for the GM to OK it. Cool.
Week passes. Roommate comes home angry. Tells me that they heard that the GM won't hire me because of my gender identity; because I have a preferred name.
Skeptical, I am. It's essentially hearsay.
More days pass, I move on. Roommate comes home one day and says the GM won't hire me because we (roommate and I) know each other and will cause drama.
Ok. I don't care enough about this place to give a fuck about why they won't hire me, and if their practices are discriminatory then fuck 'em anyway.
I'd kick up a scene, but I have no substantial evidence. I just know the GM sucks at running the store and has been getting complaints from employees.
Maybe it's a waste of time to dwell on, but fuck it.
