I am sorry to hear that, Isaiah! You will probably find a new job in no time if that's what you want.

When I started writing, I decided to compartmentalise between my real life, including work, and my writing. I am sure I could have had more followers and built a brand easier by writing using my real name, but I also feared exactly what you're describing here. That could make me a coward, but it was an informed decision so I take full responsibility for it. Good luck again!
