The problem is workaholic micromanagement bosses dont understand mental health. Even when you are casual they make you feel guilty .

Bottom line companies shouldn't be spying on you, that should be illegal

Note to self 📝.. don’t have boss on social media

Can't really work part time and see a therapist or Psychiatrist since you need affordable health insurance premiums. In my opinion, the US needs to heavily consider a four day work week.

What does it mean if you no longer give a f#%$? Especially about coworkers and the boss.

Thanks 🙏 I feel like as hard as I try sometimes I don’t have the capacity to choose to override my emotions. I know there are certain days rare ones where I know I will sabotage myself … 😬

Where I work PTO of any kind doesn’t roll over, so if you don’t use it, you lose it. If they’re offering me those benefits and I have days to use, I’ll use “sick” days as extra vacation days so I don’t lose them.

What do I tell the boss if I need time to go to an interview?

Can you call in new years day if your not feeling good

[ColtonLoberg]

It feels bad because when we were in tribe's we helped or we got outed from the group

It's very deeply wired to not let down others, we need to feel safe and jeopardizes our safety
