A month or so ago, a male leader yelled at me in front of everyone. It was after the tornado hit and so my brain was just not processing and during that time I needed someone to repeat stuff. I said “so to clarify, we’re doing x and y, right?”

And he basically said if I was listening then he wouldn’t have to repeat himself. So I basically mentally clocked out for the rest of my day and went to my car and cried.

So fast forward to today, I was basically saying now I sit in this space where I don’t ask that specific person questions even if I don’t understand because I don’t want to be yelled at.

One of my friends and coworkers (male) made so many fuckin excuses as to why he was right. He was stressed. It’s frustrating to have to repeat yourself. It’s this, that, and the third.

And that shit really just hurt my feelings all over again. I feel like I’ve been in a depressive funk since February with all the shit going on professionally, personally, and physically.

I’ve never yelled/snapped at a staff or a kid without immediately going back and apologizing. I typically don’t yell at people anyway. It’s just crazy that this man is basically allowed to fuckin yell at me because I asked for clarification...

In a situation where EVERYBODY is stressed out. This thread ain’t even that serious, I just hope that with all this shit going on, y’all are gentle with people. We’ve been in a fuckin whirlwind since that tornado hit because Covid-19 was right behind it.
