So today I decided that tomorrow I'm going to work from home an extra day before Friday. No big deal. I live in SoCal and weather is getting bad. I don't live in any of the evacuation areas, but I do pass by an area that's been warned of potential mudslides. I commute pass this area halfway of my 90 minute commute.
I think I made a smart decision and that I shouldn't worry about it at all. But in the back of my mind, I worry that my employers might feel slighted by this. I used to work with multiple toxic firms and I've had people retaliate against me for minor offenses, such as a follow up with my doctor about my cancer.
I've had to job hop to survive, only to be told by some employers that it's somehow wrong to job hop and get prevented employment because of it. I've only had this job for 2 months and I consider myself lucky to be working here compared to all the other opportunities I've had in the past.
I'm in a much healthier work environment, but my trauma with bad workplaces has left me in hypervigilant in a place where I should feel most safest.
I shouldn't be anxious, but I cannot control it.
