This is the third post in a week that I’ve seen from someone at Leo that tells me their not being supported at their job. Either it’s the same person and they need help, or the culture over there really is lacking

Be careful. Agencies are developing techniques to grind dust down to an atomic level.

They’re feeding off of our fears and insecurities. Dividing and conquering us. Cutting staff to maximize profits. Using our homes and resources for their own benefit. Entering into toxic client relationships and asking us to bear the brunt of the abuse. Stealing our time and testing our limits. Feeding us pipe dreams and blatant lies. Ignoring our pleas and strangling our freedom until we’re left with nothing.

The question is, how willing are we to actually stand up to this domination? Quitting seems to be the only option to get out of this mess. But where do we go? The grass is almost always browner on the other side.

The grind is overrated.

Is there another person in your department that can assist you? Can you take some PTO? Have you told your supervisor of how your workload is affecting you?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
