This is only tangentially related to fibro. Stress aggravates fibro, we all know that. I'm struggling with stress management lately. Got tossed a HUGE bomb today and trying to deal with it.
There is some new person working directly under my program's VP. The VP is known for calling people in his office, handing them a box to pack their things in as he tells them they are fired. We got an email from the new person Friday that she will be coming around to all the sites to "observe" us at work. What that is turning out to mean is that they are looking for people to give the heave-ho. On the plus side, my productivity is ahead of everyone in my program. Not sure how to weigh this, I'm the only person on staff who can do suicide risk assessments. That might be a plus or a minus in the VP's eyes. On the negative side, I've been with the agency for 13.5 years and make more than any of the other counselors. Since, I'm a licensed therapist I also provide more actual counseling than my co-workers who mostly focus on case management. Used to be longevity with a company was a plus. It seems the new management we have is working to force long time employees out the door.
I am trying very hard not to freak out over all of this, but am not doing so well tonight. I know worrying won't have any effect one way or another, but am still worried/freaked. I'm only three years from retirement. I sure as h e l l don't want to try and find a new job at this stage of my life. Folks, I sure could use some hugs.
