Month: April 2022

Post from u/spitado reminded me of this: 2018: I'm on lunch so close the door to my cubicle and set my messenger on “away” (it was an office with 2 doors and a partition). There's a knock, so with my cell phone to my ear I answer to indicate I'm on break and on a personal call. My boss reminds me of something, and I say I'll definitely do it when I'm off lunch. A minute later, another knock. Same person. A different reminder. When she knocks again in a minute, I say loud enough to be heard, “And this is why I sit in my car during lunch.” My boss told me one more thing, and I made a physical note in front of her, grabbed my jacket, and walked out.

Bruh, I have made double that in the last two years and even then they did NOT ask for a drug test. Then I can't move up in the company for a year and then you want me to work almost 13 hour shifts.. And you won't accept my LEGAL medical weed card??? No. In fact, you can keep the job… I quit.

I was listening to Brené Brown's Dare To Lead podcast this morning and today's episode featured Scott Sonenshine. He said that a recent study has shown that two-thirds of Americans are physically ill from workplace stress. I wonder what the percentage is that is also mentally ill from workplace stress.
