“我的脑海里，我可以在公司内能够达到我的职业目标，我不必隐藏我是谁的任何一个人，”PJ说。We’re sitting in a conference room at Yelp HQ in San Francisco, video chatting with PJ (Account Executive in Phoenix), Ryan (Community Manager in Orange County), and Nell (Software Engineer in San Francisco) about what it’s like to work at Yelp as employees who identify as LGBTQIAA. PJ tells us that when she first started at Yelp, she wasn’t sure what to expect.

“It’s my first job out of college, and I definitely had some hesitations to kind of come in and be like, ‘Hey, this is me.’” Her initial fear of not being accepted by her coworkers, manager, or the company at large quickly dispersed. “I was definitely pleasantly surprised,” she tells us. She also attributes her positive experience at Yelp to OUTburst, a Yelp LGBTQIAA Employee Resource Group. She says the collective support she receives from OUTburst and her team is “something that makes a difference on a daily basis.”

“当我第一次开始时，这有点压倒了如何思考以及每个人的舒适性，”瑞安笑在。他暂停了谈话才能解决pj。“我很高兴你为这样的公司工作，因为你会有很多积极的支持，”他告诉她。Ryan在Yelp工作了四年，所以他绝对是主题的权威。他告诉我们，他为本公司骄傲，因为显然他们正在寻找人权与底线。“他引用“爱胜利：支持婚姻平等”，叶利普联合创始人兼首席执行官Jeremy Stoppelman在最高法院通过立法后写道，2015年的同性婚姻合法化。“我真的非常感谢，”他说。

“这个组织有一个非常接受的文化和一个非常了解的文化，”Nell说。NELL识别为种族，更喜欢他们和他们的代词。大约一年前，他们向工程团队发出了一封电子邮件，表达了他们的首选名称和首选代词。他们的同事积极回应了该请求，并迅速地应用了这些变化。“人们就像，'好的很酷，这就是我们现在称之为你的;这些是我们用来参考你的代词。“NELL说，这种无缝的转变表明患有Yelp的文化类型，而Ryan称该公司”超级包容性工作。“

“这是一个非常令人兴奋的时间参与公司，”Nell继续。“I think that I complained on week two, like, ‘Why does the signup flow on the mobile app request that you select either male or female as your gender?’” Their concerns provoked discussions of creating a more inclusive product, and they reports that the company is “working on implementing a feature to support non-binary options.” Nell got to consult on the design of this feature and give constructive feedback and says “it looks like it’s going to be a pretty cool change to the product.” They credits this as a huge step in the right direction. “It’s a big change that’s happening, and I’m glad that it is,” they says.

Ryan还庆祝yelp，因为它的包容性和渴望向前推动社会变革。“每个人都有平等的机会在这里工作，这是一个非常安慰的事情，”他告诉我们。在Yelp，他解释说，一个人的性取向“不是必然定义你的东西，相反，它是”只是你是谁的另一部分“。

PJ说，她如何在yelp被视为“我的态度和职业道德以及我作为一个人带来的公司。”她仍在继续，告诉我们“没有职业机会，没有多少钱会让我保持长期[在公司]，以便必须成为我不是的人。”NELL补充说，在寻找工作时，在一个有开放思想和接受环境的公司工作是“我的第一优先事项之一”。

“有很多其他机会，但还有其他人可以为这样的公司工作？”瑞安问道。

“我们还有很长的路要走，”PJ说。“但是看到所有背景人的人，所有意识形态和比赛的人都真的有所作为......聚集在一起，让你觉得你的差异很重要 - 但我们也是为了一个共同的目标。”
