Today, my boss told me that as funny as it is, it is inappropriate to mock customers with my "fake" Scottish accent. I don't, he refuses to believe that I speak with a Scottish accent. FML

What makes this FML worse is that I still live and work in Scotland. I brought it up with my boss, turns out he thinks it's "disrespectful" to put on my "fake" accent after the referendum. I really must look for a another job. I don't want to offend anyone but Im one of the few people in the Scottish highlands that don't speak the "queens English".

Tell him that in the UK you have Scotland and Scots speak with a Scottish accent. If he can't get it.. well...He's a braindead.

Look for a new job with a better boss. Also, ask your current boss, politely, if people have been complaining.

I am from the us . home of multiple accents. it can gets as bad as ppl living a few hours from each other having different twangs n different pronunciations of words. is there some way of going above yr bosses head n getting him for discrimination? ??
