Christina HendricksAnd I sat there and weighed whether to say anything about how the problem is deep, systemic even, and making us feel better and handle stress is good but ultimately doesn't get to why we're stressed in the first place. Decided to keep quiet b/c (a) I'm already seen as the negative element in the group, & (b) I had no solutions to offer. Left feeling more stressed than was when walked in.
Bonnie Stewart@clhendricksbc i spoke about this last year in a wellness meeting on campus where focus was all on faculty & students & i was the precarious staff/sessional sitting there & finally i explained, folks, i don't even have the health coverage for the solutions you're proposing, let alone time. can we look at this systemically?
even among those who claim to love critical analysis, critical analysis when they want to feel warm & fuzzy isn't always welcome. :/
