Well, work is pretty much my job in my system. I also went to school. Other alters showed up in school but this was all related to social and relationship issues. None of my others are interested in participating in work. It's like they'd rather leave it to me. Also, most of us are co-conscious now and we are very cooperative generally. Even if I'm not in front I can almost always see and hear. Now, if I experience some extreme stress at work there might be a problem, but I can talk to the others at least. Truthfully, I really don't know how it's going to work and one of the others could come out when not expected, but hey, life is an adventure, right? I'm also thankful that I work in a helping profession with clients who receive therapy for various conditions, and confidential therapy is available through my employer, so I'm betting that if I demonstrate high competence (done that, and they like me), and an issue like that comes up due to stress or a particular trigger--I'll have inroads to problem solve and won't be ostracized.
