vestmoriathick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned?
It’s a form of self care.
I don’t get paid enough to care about other people or my employer so instead I’m conserving my energy to take care of me and the things I care for.
This is how I see it too. It helps to develop the habit of having your own project or interests in mind which you can turn your mind towards whenever you sense yourself getting drawn into the drama. For example, I’m writing a novel; during breaks/pauses/time off, any attention that I give to the silly dramas and childish behavior at work takes energy and focus away from my novel. Whatever your hobbies or off-work interests are, nurture a habit of focusing on them at will. (that’s not to say let people treat you badly, by the way. I just mean it’s a way to tune out the noise).
