Remember how my previous employer denied my WFH request so that I could flee the state of Ohio to take care of my trans kid while still working for a company I loved? I just heard they did it to someone else today. When you insist people come in to an office a few days a week because you want a "hybrid culture" not a "remote culture" and then tell them to just fuck off when all they want to do is get their kid somewhere safe that makes you an absolutely shitty person. I'm done hiding who it was. The company is #OverDrive, based in Cleveland. They make ebook lending software for your local library called #Libby. They say they care about their LGBTQIA+ employees and families but that is clearly a lie. Ohio lawmakers are turning my home state into absolute garbage and companies like this one are playing along. Tell your local library to #DropLibby [Edit, since this is doing numbers: The reason my request was denied a little over a year ago, despite me explaining in detail why, was because they "want a hybrid culture, not a remote culture." (a quote from a senior leader to my face) In both 2020 and 2021 while the whole company was working remotely I won two annual employee excellence awards for my work on their Security team, while the company had record growth. Meanwhile, one of my teammates moved out of state to be closer to family and continued to work remotely.] #Trans #TransRights #Ebooks #Libraries #Bookstodon
