awww, bec, you're making me all mushy.
i came into work and decided to do a littler personal follow up. turns out i over-reacted a little. they really just wanted to know what was going on and if there was anything they could do to help... while pointing out the effect that it was having on the other employees.
so i'm a bad employee, but they know it's for a reason, so i'm not a truly bad employee
lol. it makes my head hurt how business works sometimes. they have told me not to stress, and that they just want me better. by that, it means the company's bottom line for meeting levels of service etc they want to be better, and since i am affecting that... lol. they're trying to be nice, but they have a very clear & very obviously pointed motive/investment in me getting better. i get it.
so... it turns out they weren't trying to be malicious. just... direct about the impact so i would keep that in mind next time i am ill. lol. as if i could forget about work while hooked up to machines in hospital. what were they thinking???
so... i'm good with it now. no target. no maliciousness. just... blunt and forthright awareness of the impacts.
turns out being ill scrapes you raw emotionally so that you over-react to even small criticisms
Buy a lotto ticket anyway
I get what they're saying, and if they're offering you help, take it, it's an investment for them also, some people just have no tact really and don't know what words to use to express what they're trying to say without sounding belittling even when they're being nice LOL
I'm very lucky i've never experienced any ongoing illnesses so I don't know what you're going through, but even if you're feeling a little bit off the littlest things can seems like mountains to us but to everybody else they're just little bumps in the road, so an illness that has no end is going to take alot out of you physically, mentally and emotionally, hope they're a little nice to you and if possible lighten your workload, less stress is great for productivity
Glad you're feeling better
