Received a notification from Glassdoor that someone found my old review of my previous agency to be helpful.

Less than a month later someone else posted an incredibly long, detailed, harsh (but true) review of the same agency.

Soooo relieved that I wasn’t alone in noticing the things I did. And feeling uplifted to be in a dif company that respects my time & boundaries.

Woof. I know how that feels and I’m SO happy for you. Honestly, almost every time I’ve seen a pattern of negative reviews about a company and ignored it, it’s bitten me in the ass. Folks like the say it’s just a bunch of people complaining but especially when the posts reference a pattern of behavior by middle and upper management, I think it’s safe to assume it’s a toxic environment.

Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college. However, I’m still on the job hunt and I think stress is manifesting itself without me realizing it. My skin is showing really bad acne, I feel unmotivated even to fill out job applications; I’m having trouble falling asleep at night and even though I sleep past noon sometimes I still feel tired during the day... Is it stress or burnout?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
