Your job should not be a traumatic experience
Transcript
As a society, we have to stop normalizing work being a traumatic experience. It is not normal for your job to make it hard to do the basic things needed to take care of yourself and sleep and eating. You should not have to sit there and dissociate after work because you don't have the energy to heal from what you went through at work. Your job should never be the reason you are crying. You should not live in fear that your boss or coworker, Kelly, Kim, or Richard's mood is going to break your day. You should not physically feel ill at night because you know you have to show up at that job in the morning. Your job should be funding your life, not destroying you in the process.
