Katie Gunn

Intro Kate grew up in a working-class family in Nottingham with supportive parents and a younger brother. She was always responsible and took pride in being independent, working small part-time jobs while completing her studies in business administration. After finishing school, she interviewed and secured a job as a receptionist at the local car dealership, seeking a stable position with friendly company culture and flexible dress codes. Kate grew up in a working-class family in Nottingham with supportive parents and a younger brother. She was always responsible and took pride in being independent, working small part-time jobs while completing her studies in business administration. After finishing school, she interviewed and secured a job as a receptionist at the local car dealership, seeking a stable position with friendly company culture and flexible dress codes. This led to moments of public humiliation, including crude comments, offensive jokes, and even physical pranks like a thrown cup of water. Kate’s initial instinct was to blame herself, wondering if she had provoked this treatment somehow. Additional Notes: Kate values her friendships deeply and often texts her closest friends during breaks, using them as her emotional anchor. She appreciates that the job allows her to keep her personal hygiene routine straightforward (no greasy smells to wash off) and social life active (not having to go home exhausted or uncomfortable). The experience has taught her the complexity of workplace dynamics, especially in male-dominated fields, and the importance of standing up for herself and others. She dreams of eventually moving into a more managerial or HR role where she can advocate for respectful, fair work environments.
