#1 EVERYONE'S BEING BITCHY WITH YOU.
You are trying to hold your organization together, plus learn the latest new software. People are retiring and leaving you with more to do, not even thanking you for continuing to contribute to their retirement and social security. The national news is bad, no matter what TV channel you try (or what political persuasion you hold). You are exhausted emotionally dealing with all the uncertainty about where your organization and even society is going. Your bosses are imposing even more expectations on you moving forward. And now it seems like everyone around you is being bitchy with you. Here’s the news: it’s not your imagination. Everyone IS being bitchy with you.
Everyone is emotionally exhausted by the enormous 2000-2020 changes. And everyone is peeved at the ambiguity, uncertainty, political polarization, harsh words online and glares in person, the deaths, and the feeling our country is no longer the world’s leader and solo SuperPower. It’s not you. It’s everybody. These are the most unsettling times since 1919.
