Get support, not directions. You know yourself and the situation best. We’re here to be your thought partner and sounding board so you can find your path forward.
Sometimes it may mean taking a walk on your break. Other times it might mean talking to your manager, beginning a job search, reporting the situation, or collectively organizing with other workers.
Your next step is what works best for you.
