For reasons, I was barely able to sleep last night, and my supervisor totally didn’t sweat me taking a half day because of it. As someone who has worked in warehouses, factories, and restaurants as long as I’ve worked in the human services, I can say definitively, social workers are much more understanding and trauma informed that foremen and shift managers. I can’t even imagine the abuse I would receive for attempting to take a self-care day in those other environments. The bottom line is that I am grateful to work for and with people who both understand and care about people.
