Feeling anxious and can’t sleep because of a work situation that literally has nothing to do with me, because my supervisor Slacked at 9:30 at night with a problem they have.
I’m home, there’s nothing I can do to remedy the situation, and I was not involved in the problem’s inception. I have no reason to feel any sort of connection/anxiety as to the outcome of this since it has nothing to do with me.
Except the inevitable tirade that I will be on the receiving end of, which will go one 3x past the length it could be, about a situation that I could not have helped if I wanted to.
My coping strategy is to look on Indeed for all the other job openings available, and knowing that I have options if/when it’s time to hit the road and find a work environment where I don’t feel like I’ve done something wrong all the time, even when I haven’t.
