my reading list for the last few days has been nothing but these wonderful asks you guys sent me. virtual hugs and empathy go a long way. work has downright sucked this week, and it’s been everything in my power not to go crazy or do something stupid. so thank you for the comfort fam <3
and to the anon who asked, i work in alcohol distribution! it has it’s perks, but can be incredibly emotionally and mentally and physically demanding. both business owners and my higher ups can use very abusive and insulting language, and a lot of the time i feel like i don’t know what the fuck i’m doing and am just making it up as i go. my territory is a 200 square mile series of low income retail, and i’ve recently acquired a lot of high tier accounts where literally everyone else on my sales team have been kicked out for being dicks, and it’s my job to go in there and fix years and years of bad blood, so i am used to a lot of hostility as soon as i walk in the door.
so just know that when i have to go into a new account where the owners have never met me, but years of experience have taught them to distrust me and dislike me, and i have to brace myself for very hard conversations, i’m reading these. these always give me the kind of strength i need to get through my day. i’m so lucky to have such kind followers who have my back xx thank you thank you thank you
