I work as lead programmer these days. In the past I worked in a factory / in retail. I am horrified by how well everyone treats me now compared to back then. Everyone assumes good intentions from me now, forgives me, is in a hurry to help me. Back then, they assumed I was lazy, stupid, selfish, untrustworthy. The main difference is my clothes and my car, I’m the same person. Even landlords stopped withholding damage deposits, assuming I was a good guy, hand waving any imperfections in the unit I’m moving out of—this wasn’t true for most of my life I am frankly not comfortable revealing to my boss or coworkers that I grew up poor because they’ll think of me differently, stop assuming such good thing about me, become wary, etc
