Good Grief 92

This was a up on the noticeboard in the room I was working in today.
I don't feel able to engage with either of these ideas.
I blipped it just before getting an email from my manager. I'd been struggling to get through the day anyway but it was the last straw and I couldn't stop crying. Luckily I was able to just slip out and home without it impacting on anyone.

That was yesterday ... I re-grouped and went back to work today and thought about how to respond during a break for some lunch on my way back to the office. I sent my response and have since had a 'pending' reply. I was trying to do the right thing, trying to work strategically and minimise the impact of what has been a disruptive few months on my work but it has met with what I consider to be an astonishing lack of understanding and sympathy or empathy and on the back of a notable lack of care in general.
Unfortunately, feeling as I do, rather than standing my corner it has just had the effect of undermining my confidence, questioning myself and left me just wanting to throw in the towel.
I think that sometimes grief is met with a real lack of genuine understanding. I don't mind that on the whole and don't have any expectations other than where people are in positions where they have a responsibility to be better than this.
