I (23M) have just started working towards my dream by getting a job at a top security firm. I am really good at doing accents and my buddy said that maybe I could help out my chances of getting the job by seeming “put together” and “established” if I put on a British accent in my interview.

I got the job. Which was obviously amazing. I had full intention to tell my superior that I wasn’t British before word spread around.

The only issue is, on the first day, as soon as I walked into the office, my boss goes “Hey! Here he is. Everyone meet (…), He’s from England, and is joining us in our (…) team.” I froze. I looked at my boss, gave him a weary smile, and squeaked out

“ello ever’one”

From those two words on I haven’t stopped the British accent. It’s been 5 months on the job and I’m exhausted from having to constantly put on the accent.

It’s gotten so bad its starting to affect my home life.

AITA?

Tl;DR: I faked a British accent to get a job I really wanted and now everyone thinks I’m British.
