*WARNING MENTION OF MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE IN THE WORKPLACE*

Background for me with working - have been all over the place, working most of my life in retail or customer service. First started off working with special needs and as a babysitter, these people tended to be HSP.

Then worked a lot with the public.

Maple Syrup Conservation areas - loved it. If could have made it into a FT position, would have stayed here. Expressed creativity and out in nature.

As I got older, worked in clothing retail - liked it. Fun.

Went to school for esthetics and funeral services. - talk about narcissism at its finest. Toxic work environment.

Not sure how much detail I’ll go through; tough topic to talk through. Worked up north in a small funeral home; a lot of legislative and rule breaking. Toxic work environment. A lot of theft going on. Wrongdoing on the behalf of the deceased. Hard to be in this environment. Had to walk away because how do you stay in a work environment when you’re literally there to make sure this person is being honored and things are being done that’s harmful. What I was being taught in an internship.

I used to go into the workplace and didn’t really know that I was an empath and HSP. used to be called fat and stupid all the time. Just really bad. Verbally abused. Went to the funeral service board and nothing was done - no investigation, nothing. Got so much worse - beyond the stealing and name calling. Got physically worse. Ended up having to walk away.
