“I’m a sexual assault survivor and have been dealing with anxiety, social anxiety, and depression since 2015. I present as very positive and calm, but my work ethic and efficiency are a result of constantly panicking about getting fired for not performing well.”

My best friends on my team also struggle with their mental health at times, and if we didn’t have each other to anxiety-word-vomit to, I don’t think any of us would still be working for this company. The company loves to tout our ‘amazing work culture,’ but doesn’t hold leadership accountable for unrealistic deadlines, or the truly toxic culture they’ve created. A newly promoted AVP is infamous for blatant bullying, sexual harassment, and general asshole behavior, but after a brief investigation from an anonymous HR report, he’s only been slapped on the wrist about some of his ‘jokes.’ Doesn’t really instill a lot of faith in the company’s commitment to its associates or their mental health.”
