laid off while on vacation
Oh screw that. I had that happen while I was on a church trip on my first job. They also said I would be better in a job like mcd’s where I was standing still at a register. Jokes on them I can’t do any of those jobs anymore bc of my audhd and all that goes with it. The meltdowns, anxiety/panic attacks, and generally uneducated people on my conditions that refuse to learn are awful…

I appreciate that my manager needed to tell me ASAP because others are nervously waiting in the line to know whether or not they are being laid off and he had to inform us (people being laid off) first. However, what I didn’t appreciate is that that vacation should have been sick leave to recover from burnout but my manager kept thinking that “burnout” meant “stress”, when what it actually means is “the job I used to love and cherish now feels like lifting tons of bricks up a steep slope then rolling down in defeat and crying”.

Yep, esp the burnout. I feel this on so many levels as a audhd person who experiences this so quickly with jobs. Esp since employers just don’t get it or value employee health. Because if they did they’d pay more and give more pto and sick leave. Instead the uppers at all these jobs need their bonuses and raises while we get crumbs or let go at the slightest downturn…
