My mental health has been precarious at best lately. My work has been making changes that are fucking with everyone and I haven't been handling it well. I called out yesterday and am considering calling out again today, but I'm struggling with this stupid guilt. I feel like a bad little worker bee. I also feel stupid for feeling that way, because the company I work for makes it clear that “the needs of the business come first”, and they don't give a damn about me, other than the typical surface level “how are you today?” bullshit.
I'm also paranoid. My call outs are medically protected, but I'm afraid if I use that protection too much, they're gonna find some other reason to fire me. Wouldn't be the first time a big corporation did something like that.
I'm just so tired. Having to work for living sucks.
