Stuttering at work

Stuttering and employment or at work

I decided, much to the annoyance of my parents, to leave the education system at the age of sixteen. This was not because I found the work hard but purely due to the fact that I had a stutter.

I could not cope with the seemingly constant abuse and bullying from my so called classmates. These people were not mates, they were a constant thorn in my side and I could not wait to leave the school and them behind.

I then had the difficult task of trying to gain employment. I had no idea of what I wanted to do and basically needed to find a position where I would not be required to talk a lot.

Stuttering eliminates so many opportunities for people and despite attending regular speech therapy for my own stutter, I was unable to achieve fluency until I was in my early twenties.

The interview process in attempting to find this first career position was just a nightmare. I like a lot of people who stutter, found it difficult to speak under pressure and boy did I feel under pressure at these interviews.

It took me around six months to achieve success in gaining employment, I am sure the fact that I had a stutter made this period longer than it should have been.

I received many battle scars along the way and shed a few tears of stuttering frustration. I was to work for an insurance company at their lowest level, it seemed the ideal starting position but things were not to turn out as I had expected.

The job itself was fine but I found it very difficult to mix with some of my colleagues. I had expected the workplace to be a much more mature place than school but I was wrong. I still received mocking from various people who at times would even pretend that they had a stutter.

This horrible stutter made the first six years of my working life into one huge struggle. I met some very understanding people in that time and of course a few very nasty people. Thankfully the nasty people were in the minority.
