Man the stresses of work! Back in the day I’d need to get high. I need to relax and take my time. Dealing with people can really piss me off. Thankfully I can go home for lunch and let it out on here!
Ty Dee just had one of those days. I’m a supervisor/babysitter. Have a good day

Steve, think of people as an opportunity to connect with, to exercise your empathy muscle with. I’m currently working with all kinds of people where the stress is crazy due to Covid. I hated it until I started to take my time with customers to explain what they didn’t understand. One guy I talked to several times a day for weeks. I pay attention to my tone to make sure I don’t talk down to them. My whole perspective changed as a result. We are here to connect and to serve. You are holding back the best of who you are when you are impatient. At least that is how it was for me.
Ty for the advice. I’m helping supervise 38 people. I’m not bilingual and a lot of Spanish workers. Some understand some don’t. Some give you the deer in the headlights look. Knowing if they don’t understand they won’t have to do anything. Just my opinion. I need to work on patients. Let’s stay in touch. Input always helps
