I don’t think it’s because people don’t care, but it’s more that the older you get the more you realize how everyone has baggage and we each have to deal with our own. So not that others don’t care, but more that everyone is dealing with something hard and traumatic, and trying not to burden others with it.
I love gen z for how empathetic they are, but I’ll be curious to see if it continues through to adulthood.
Recent new hire was “sharing” whatever mental thing he has… At work.
Dude, no need to air your laundry at work - we all got shit to get done and that’s not helping. We ALL got shit in our heads, no need to burden anyone else with my shit when they got their own.
Right? Work is not the place for it. If you need a mental health day, take a mental health day. You do what you need to, but I’m here just trying to get through the day.
I’ve been struggling with a loss recently personally, and took a couple days off for it. My boss knew and approved, but I’m not going to drop that on my coworkers. They have their own stresses and drama, they have their own personal demons they need to work on. Last thing they need is me sadly dumping on them. Friends are friends, coworkers are not.
