My work organized this super dystopian presentation. With stress and burnout spiking, many of us believe that our lives would be better if only we were less anxious. But Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary says our anxiety is actually good for us, even though it feels bad. Anxiety helps us focus, create, and plan for the uncertain future. As a clinical psychologist and author of Future Tense, Tracy argues that we’ve been looking at the anxiety crisis all wrong. In highly practical talks, she provides a radical new framework for managing anxiety—our brains' response to uncertainty—and using it to our advantage. “When we stop rejecting anxiety,” she says, “we will be better able to channel it, manage it, and use it to prioritize what matters to us in life.” I don't even know what to say…

i dont even know why i feel like this. mentally was just not feeling well and i just wanted a day with my husband cause we are literally on opposite work schedules and i dont even get much time with him..i work in food service. feel like i let my coworkers/managers down somehow it just sounds awful. the last time i called out was the first of this month too. 🙁 just wish i didn’t feel like this.

Hey everyone [Texas] I'll likely be fired in a couple of weeks. I've been out with a stroke since Feb 27th and my doctor wrote me to return mid-April… I haven't been herr long enough to qualify for FMLA or anything, so HR made sure I knew I was unprotected. With Texas being an at-will state, I know my hands are somewhat tied, but I want to at least keep my options open as far as unemployment goes. Should I refuse to sign any termination papers they give me? I don't want to accidentally sign away a right to anything or sign saying I agree to it when I don't. Am I able to take the papers with me and look them over? I've never been fired before, only quit. Thanks all!

I was approached with the idea of giving up my position to someone much less qualified because she’s “tired of 2nd shift”. I replied with No of course and it wasn’t mentioned again. Now it’s been close to a month and I learned that she’s been telling people that today (Friday) will be her last night on 2nd shift and that she starts my position on Monday. I haven’t been notified of any of these changes. No supervisor or manager has even discussed the topic with me any more. Just rumors and a person who has been told that she starts what is my job on Monday morning. Any ideas on what I should do? I perform well and haven’t had any issues.

I worked a lot of warehouse jobs and I've been cool with a lot of people on a personal level so from my own experience I gathered a lot of info on how my coworkers are paid. It is extremely common for people to work at a job for years and “earn” a 25 cents – 1 dollar annual raise only for a new guy to show up and either get paid exactly what they now make or worse, a dollar extra regardless of how important the veterans roles are. Life is different when you put yourself in someone else's boots, that's beyond soul crushing.
