Description
Eddie shares his experience of working in a treatment program during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges he faced in a toxic work environment. He discusses the difficulties of working in person while most mental health services had moved to virtual platforms. Eddie and his colleagues requested to go virtual for safety reasons but were met with resistance from their supervisor and HR. The lack of support and dismissive attitude towards their concerns led to a culture of fear and discomfort. Eddie eventually left the job and emphasizes the importance of knowing one's worth and not tolerating a toxic work environment.
