I know there are a lot of unhappy employees out there. It is really upsetting seeing so many folks laid off and reading other horror stories
For the last 30 years I’ve worked in companies that use and spit out good employees. I ended up in the hospital for 5 weeks from my last place from stress, severe overwork and abuse. Not one person in those 5 weeks reached out to see how I was
So I left and found a position at a true unicorn of a place
Last April I was diagnosed with cancer and between chemotherapy and anxiety/depression I couldn’t work (still can’t)
Every week coworkers and owners reached out to me to see how I was doing , asked I needed any help, rides to appointments etc
Yesterday was the company Xmas party. Hadn’t seen anyone since April. Everyone came up to me, gave me hugs and reiterated if I need help they were there
My boss said take what time I need to heal, and be patient with myself and my recovery. Same thing my oncologist said haha
Anyway I am 51 now and after 30 years finally found a wonderful place with amazing people
Just thought I would share. I hope people don’t feel like I am bragging or anything like that.
