Surviving the Workplace with Morgan Givens, King of Boundaries
Added 2022-10-29 00:40:59 +0000 UTCIf you love workplace gossip, boy howdy, have we got the pod for you. This month, we’re catching up with Morgan Givens, who we last heard from way back when my voice sounded like a little mouse. These days, we’re older, wiser(?), and even less patient with professional nonsense. Topics include:
- Decoding “neurotypical” coworkers
- Self-advocating for disability accommodations
- The limits of “educational” trans media
- Our advice for new podcasters and why it’s useless
- Why we’ve bravely decided to have boundaries
Find Morgan @Optimus_Mo... and of course, hire me to monotone at your boss via Sylveon.co.

2022-11-01 16:16:30 +0000 UTCThis conversation is giving me LIFE. And inspiring me to set some more boundaries at work- damn y’all are good. THANK YOU for the important reminder that being trans and autistic and queer does not mean I need to change myself to fit with the dominant expectations of a place. Fuck those norms!

2022-10-31 18:57:33 +0000 UTCY'all had me SCREAMING during the autistic at work section. I too have had the snickers and the glances when I'm just trying to get a roomful of people on task!!! What is the problem with """"neurotypical"""" people and why is it MY FAULT that they don't know how to read the room? Harrumph. As always, being gay and trans is a gift, and this podcast is a treasure. I listened to this episode while doing my bullshit little job for a bunch of cishet neurotypicals who don't understand me or make even the slightest effort to accommodate me, and it made me feel seen, heard, and less alone. Thanks, Tuck and Morgan!

2022-10-30 15:51:25 +0000 UTCI could listen to you and Morgan for another hour! But also I know you’re both tired. I feel you on “clearly it must be late.” “Oh wow it’s only 6:15.”

2022-10-29 14:56:27 +0000 UTCI don't have Thoughts, but I did listen all the way through and love the way this convo has me thinking about the way my company's DEI is all focused on education and pushes back around making things mandatory
