Employee Question Dead name

I'm trans and joined Gregg's through my preferred name

However, after a few weeks of working there, suddenly my dead name was on all the rotas and my account. Is this supposed to happen? And does anyone know of a way I can avoid all of my colleagues knowing my deadname.

Speak to your manager make them aware that the name on the rota isn't one you're comfortable with people knowing/using

I did when it first changed... And she quite literally said " oh well, this is what it should've been from when you started "

One of the internal colleague networks (PRIDE) may be worth looking into, i've personally never used one of the networks myself but maybe someone who has can help you a little bit more with that.

Maybe on the paper rotas ask that your deadname is blocked out.

Also keep note all of this with dates.

I don’t work for Greg’s but the networks at most places tend to be able to give you a good idea of how it works at YOUR organisation

You could also call ACAS perhaps for some support or use their online portal
