Listen now
Description
In this episode we talk about mental illness and mental disorders stemming from having to work in a toxic and hostile work environment. We also address how we can file an OWCP stress claim regarding our mental illness and/or disorders, what’s needed to do that, and other useful resources to combat the mistreatment from management and the toxic and hostile working conditions we deal with at any moment on any given day. It’s time we realize that mental illness is real and can affect anyone at any time during our careers, and it’s time we take a stand and hold those who knowingly and willfully created our mental illness and/or disorders accountable for their actions.
