Antiwork

Assaulted at work by a client, minimal injury but very traumatized.

For context, I work in child protective services. I was transporting a severely mentally ill child that had a an “incident” that led to him attacking me. He is a child so my injuries are minor scrapes and bruises, but this was an hours long incident in which I was all alone despite alerting supervisors of the issue. I took the next day off, but I am still reeling and do not feel up to doing my incredibly difficult, underpaid, and undertrained job. I have no union protection, (Georgia) and am feeling lost.
