Earlier this week I got a call from my partner that his son was missing. He was found, nothing bad happened, all is good. I still feel shaken and upset due to this. I love this kid as my own.
I had a sit down with my boss today and she asked what happened. I explained and said I'm having trouble focusing on work.
During the convo she mentioned things I can do at work. There hasn't been many tasks coming in (I work in admin in a child service organization not unlike mcfd). I feel bored and like I'm filling time but if I do nothing I get in trouble.
My boss told me if I can't focus 100% at work to go home for the rest of the week. I opted for that option as I'm honestly getting burnt out with finding busy work or being unable to do work due to the Frontline staff not getting their notes and info into my department and basically not doing their jobs, which affects my job.
I went to a different organization today and talked to a staff that I have known for years who took mu resume and dropped it off at their HR for me. I'm hoping to get an interview and move but I'm also super anxious. This is my first full time job and first 'real' job since I finished university (I have a BSW). I can't do front line due to arthritis and the jobs I applied for are not front line.
I'm worried this will look bad but the whole interaction with my boss left a bad taste in my mouth. I feel like a child service agency would be more understanding of the impact a situation like that has on a person, seeing as we deal with this on the daily. Why do jobs seem to care more about their clients than their actual staff? It doesn't make sense to me
