Kelly, this was very powerful. Your words land in such a powerful way. I feel that I was very impacted by the toxic work environment and the absorption of the failure of the strategy from the top- run by men. I was released from my duties last October and I am still recovering. I doubt myself and my skills. Thank you for your voice.
This article took the words out of my mouth, I just kept saying yes, yes, yes to all of this. As a fellow AuDHD woman facing discrimination and retaliation, I feel this in my bones, and it fires me up.
I don't have the financial security to fight indefinitely, I'm still stuck in a mid-level role, and I'm deeply vulnerable to systemic, institutional abuses. But these systems work best when they can count on our silence.
Although my position is precarious, I refuse to sanitize my reality for their comfort, to protect the status quo, or to silence the embodied harm I've suffered. I've made the intention to reject any NDAs or severance package that requires me to relinquish my legal rights.
There's a limit to how much I can share publicly right now. What I've had to go through isn't unique or rare, it's unfortunately garden-variety discrimination. But if I can use my experience to also illuminate something for others, I will do it.
