An old coworker (who did know I started going by Jey) found me in my new city at my new job at random.
My new coworkers did not know my old name which was real nice, but being outted like that hurt. I felt like there wasn’t anything I could even do about it because it was over before I knew it.
My new coworkers never brought it up, but it still felt crummy.

If I was more positive, I’d say it was an accident, but I’m very pessimistic and cynical, so I honestly feel like it was a true dick move.
I get that he could’ve forgotten you started going by Jey but your name tag was literally there >:/
