Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Happy? by Mudvayne @heartsupport I’ve never actually been in a relationship that left me feeling like this, but where I work now makes me question it every day. With their gaslighting, with their not proper tools with their shitty management and with so much more about this environment. They expect me to do and do and do, which I understand it is a business but if I tell you I’ve never done something then that’s the truth.
How incredibly frustrating! Being in a work environment where people just push you and dismiss you is exhausting mentally, physically and emotionally. It’s like they want one person to do the work load of 5 and when people get burnt out and stressed they are “surprised” and react in a way that excuses themselves from any blame. “You did this to yourself” kind of attitude.
Sacrificing so much for a job is something so many people experience because they have to work, they have to earn money and even then it’s a struggle to make ends meet, so basically you’re forced into bending over backwards.
They make it seem like you’re not caring enough about your work if you don’t keep up the same level of pace.
I’ve always believed that management should be working for their employees. They are meant to be there to ensure our safety and well-being. They are meant to be there to ensure that we have the correct environment to accomplish our workload in the least stressful way possible.
Really wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could interview them? Has anyone approached management or Hr to hold a meeting about this and to actually discuss the team’s needs and how to meet them?
Thank you for letting this out here! I hear and feel the frustration through your words - understandably so. It’s painfully hard when the place you spend most of your time in is also the very place where you feel undervalued, uncomfortable, if not exploited. Businesses imply of course performance and rentability, but it should certainly never be at the cost of our own humanity and needs. It is completely understandable to feel tired of a management that doesn’t align with who you are and seem to value you less as a person than what you would actually produce. Whether or not we’re performers at our jobs, we’re not meant to be machines, executing without questioning or even feeling. I’m sorry you’ve been in this situation, friend. It is so frustrating when it feels like you are stuck in a place that just doesn’t respect you, an don the contrary makes you feel less and less complete. It’s like pieces of yourself are taken away from you, slowly but surely, and that’s is freaking exhausting.
I hope that, in the midst of this, you can find of block times to breathe away from all of the stress and struggles that work could generate in your life. You absolutely deserved to be treated decently, to feel trusted and valued for what you bring to the table. Not everyone is going to see it or be able to see beyond their own blindness or denial at times… but no matter what someone else might say or do: you matter and you have value in this world because you are. Beyond what you do, beyond what you accomplish, beyond the goals you could reach.
