    I worked in a nursing home as the morning cook 4:30AM-12PM. I had 3 different bosses who would all gang up on the employees even if the employee only did something they considered personally slightly annoying. Like all 3 would call you into the office for leaving your glasses on your work station or not spreading jelly perfectly to every single edge of the bread for a pbj or having 2 fried eggs where the whites stuck together a bit but were otherwise perfect. They would belittle me and break me down over 8 years until I had no sense of self and wanted to unalive myself. Also we were always severely understaffed so the cook had to make the meals, wash all the dishes including the plates and trays given to the residents, and serve the food in the dining room. Sometimes the evening cook wouldn’t come in so I had to stay to cook lunch and dinner on top of those other tasks for each meal, so the day was 4:30AM- 7:30 PM, sometimes later. Then I had to come back in the next morning at 4:30AM. During that time I developed an autoimmune disease which caused severe muscle degradation and I just kept going. Nobody cared or even noticed. I kept getting sicker. I was so mentally broken that I did it until I became a shell of a person. My husband had to beg me to just quit. I’m still severely traumatized from that job.

      In other cultures, during their coming of age ceremonies, often they would have to witness or endure a traumatic event. This calibrated their ability to tell what was truly trauma vs not. Clearly no ketchup on table 20 is the worst thing she's experienced, so she is unaware how trivial that is to others. Would be nice if we all had the same scale and didn't get overwhelmed inappropriately.

    • @selfmademarketer
      @selfmademarketer 5 місяців тому

      If it causes distress, it's trauma. Yes, there are different degrees of it, but that doesn't make low-grade trauma irrelevant, which is why I think we should talk about work trauma. Maybe if we were all more accepting and willing to talk and less critical, we could help some nightmares go away.
