ya know what...I'm ok acknowledging that I'm not qualified to handle mental health issues just like I'm ok acknowledging that I'm not qualified to handle physical health issues. so let's not waste my time, your time, or anyone else's time with this crap.

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

...unpaid sabbatical or cashing out whatever stock they had and exiting the industry entirely.

I listen to some of the conversations they claim to have, and these folks seem to live in a soup of toxicity that would result in a fistfight at most normal jobs.

Not sure why it needs to be four hours but I'm happy that your employer is taking mental illness

Sometimes you just need to yeet a bobcat *

Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*

Probably call 911 and hold a towel or cloth or whatever on the wound till actual help arrives

Which I don’t need a 4 hour training seminar to tell me to do. I’m sure AF not gonna try to treat the wound myself beyond that

If someone is having a mental breakdown at work (keep in mind I work from home 99% of the time) I’m not gonna do anything more than try and get them to calm down which, again, doesn’t require a 4 hour training seminar. Especially not one that’s scheduled over 3 other project calls that I’m actually involved in.

And we already have resources available that we’re constantly reminded of that people can use if they need help with mental health
