I just came back to this thread. What did I start?! :)
Shit 2 weeks at work and I'm OK? It's my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have
But I'm not doing great generally. I'm feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I'm flagging.
