She's a supervisor and TWICE she had to have one staff spend the entire shift with another staff because the second staff was "Having thoughts of self-harm". All the time people call in saying that the job just has them too stressed and they need some time. Yes, it is a stressful job. You want a fucking paycheck? Then do the work. You can be stressed at work and get a paycheck that makes you less stressed in your personal life or you can quite working so there's no stress there and then deal with the stress of trying to figure out how you're going to survive. Life isn't an episode of Jersey fucking Shore. I don't give a fuck about your personal baggage. Drop your personal shit at the door, do your fucking job and pick it back up on your way home.
Oh, excuse me. I'll just tell my PTSD and other mental health problems to take some time off when I go to work.

Keep this up and in 2 years you're going to be called a bigot and other trendy words if you don't support this terrible cancer of a culture. I just can't put my head around people needing these safe spaces and this trigger warnings. I mean, in the highly unlikely event where someone talks about rape in an event advertised as for discussion of ice-cream flavors -you can just get up and leave the damn place you entitled assholes.you have legs, get up and walk out instead of ruining the experience for the other 100,000 people interested in the subject you damn snowflake. Don't just sit there expecting everyone to coddle you. C'mon. Imagine the amount of entitlement if one outright refuses to do any sort of introspection and expects - no demands - the environment to cater to their feeble feelings and glass skin. Grow up you're not 12 hell even 12 year olds with their lollipops are more gangsta than these idiots hahaha
Edit:
Plus, there's a huge threat to free speech. Example: you can't talk about boobies at work Richie! You didn't put a damn trigger warning for that shit! Oh okay Felicia, I'll put on a trigger warning sign. Everybody else: holy shit that company has a trigger warning for boobies what kind of perverts work there?? (forcing people to force language policing and limit free speech. Fuck that man.
How does hearing the words "trigger warning" ruin the experience? What you're really saying is that don't give a fuck if someone with PTSD experiences trauma if it means you have to hear a few extra words. Talk about thinking you're a special snowflake.
