Get ready for the Friday good news updates! Here are some inspiring updates from previous contributors:
1. Overcoming Job Challenges (#1 at the link)
After experiencing a series of job challenges, I landed a job that I loved. However, due to the economic instability, I was laid off. Fortunately, I reconnected with a previous boss who offered me a higher position in a different company. I’m now in a satisfying role with better management and growth opportunities. While it’s not a perfect job, it’s perfect for me right now, and I’m happy with that.
2. Embracing Non-Binary Identity at Work (#3 at the link)
Since coming out as non-binary, I have been actively involved in my company’s LGBTQIA+ employee resource group. My employer has gone above and beyond with diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. I successfully advocated for my correct gender identity within the company and have been involved in speaking about LGBTQ+ issues to the wider industry. On a personal note, my girlfriend will be moving in with me this summer!
3. Overcoming Professional Transition (#4 at the link)
After my manager left for a new position, I was initially nervous about stepping up to take on her responsibilities. However, despite some tough moments, I hung in there and now a new manager has been hired. The difference in how I feel now compared to before is immense, and I’m grateful for the support I received during this transition.
