    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.
