🙋♀️ Hey there, folks! Buckle up, because I've got a doozy of a story for you today. 😅 It all started when a new employee joined our team at work. They were a total rockstar, but there was just one tiny problem... their mom kept calling ALL. THE. TIME. 📞 Things took an unexpected turn when this employee confided in me about their transition journey. 🏳️⚧️ I wanted to support them every step of the way, but navigating their mom's constant calls? Talk about a minefield! 💣 Grab some popcorn, because this story is about to get wild! 🍿

🚨 Mom's Meltdown: Supporting a Transitioning Employee Goes Awry! 😱
So, our beloved employee finally got their legal name change sorted out, and they were over the moon! 🌙 But when their mom called asking for 'C' again, I had to break the news that we no longer had an employee by that name. 😬 Cue the mom's fury! 🔥 She stormed into the office, demanding answers and playing the 'mother card.' 🃏 Our poor employee was mortified, and I felt terrible for causing such a scene at work. 😔 But here's the real question: should I have just let the call go through? 🤔 The internet's gonna have a field day with this one! 🌐 Let's see what the masses have to say about this mother-child showdown! 🥊
Mom refuses to accept son's transition and harasses him at work 😠 NTA for protecting him and creating a safe space 👏
