Patricia writes: Currently retired and working as a contractor (computer repair tech for the military) in Korea. I transitioned on the job, and the company I work for declined my offer of resignation and gave me medical leave for my operation, rather than have me use my vacation. (NOTE: Tina commends Patricia’s company for its sensitivity and excellent Human Resources policy.)
I am totally accepted as who I am by my company, boss, and coworkers, along with the military population I work with. Even most Koreans I work with accept me as I am.
