I was a service electrician. Most people I met didnt talk bad about my stutter. Some were curious about it. Now I'm an airfield/maintenance electrician at an airport. Nerve-wracking at times knowing the whole place can hear me when I'm calling on the radios to the air traffic control tower and airport operations. My supervisors and coworkers don't say much about it. They've been accepting. I had one supervisor try to give me special treatment because of it, thinking he was helping me. Told him to treat me like everyone else. Also I've learned to not really care if someone has an issue with it. And I learned to joke about it
