Hi guys,
Yesterday I couldn't concentrate on my work: I have family in Russia and Ukraine. I had a nervous breakdown and texted my boss that I couldn't work. I didn't call him, because I did not want him to witness me sobbing and hysterical.
He replied quite dryly that I had to call him when I just left work, that I had a meeting and I was letting him down and that I hadn't booked an absence in my calendar. He also planned a meeting today. I was calm, not my smiley happy self, but not bitchy or anything. In the span of 30 minutes he managed to get me hysterically sobbing. He kept pushing and pushing for me to understand his position. He commented negatively on my decision to get help from a medical professional. I had the distinct feeling he wanted me te resign.
I called HR in tears. And she was on my side. I couldn't believe it. She told me to take the rest of today off, too. Idk what Monday will bring… But right now I can just pray for my family to be okay and not think about work.
