Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Administration here is being so disrespectful to me in meetings. I have been in Social Services 4 years longer than ANY other worker, including administration, and know more about how things are done and NC policy than anyone here. I don't sling it around though, I'm not an asshole like that. yet I KEEP getting disrespected in every public meeting we have. I don't even know why they need to make me look bad. I have not applied for any type of supervisory positions here, I do not try to tell other people what to do. I do my job and mind my own business. I help if I'm asked. Today I came back to my office and I cried. I applied for a position in a neighboring county, which I will most likely get a call back for unless they already know who they're giving the job too. Sometimes that happens. I am done with this agency, I've only been here for a year, isn't that sad.
It's my experience of people that if you are feeling on the outer, you need to get on the inner. When you are inside the group you don't get this kind of treatment. The question here is really, why are you separate from the group?
You need to join in. You need to have one-on-one time with people, talk about their lives, be interested in them and be interesting to them. Get to know them better. Age is no impediment here.
Work is a game. Play to win. :D
