Months ago, pre-CV, my bosses helped me phrase a thing about myself: that I'm good at finding edge cases, which makes me great at testing and security, and crap at work relations sometimes. (This is not doom; I freely own this.)

At some point pre-CV, we at work were supposed to sign a new version of the handbook. In it was a phrase like: "$company does not condone retaliation based on reports made in good faith."

Me: "...what if they're made in bad faith?"

So I asked our HR folk. I went through three different HR folk and ended up on a call with one of them because they had no idea what I was asking about.

In retrospect, I'm more concerned that there are at least three different HR folk who aren't used to autistic testers... 👀
