Talk to yourself sometimes, listen to your own advice...lols sometimes we give good advice to others, but we don't follow our own...haha
Conner is a 6 foot 200 lb good looking fella. Yet, he is very soft spoken and very gentle hearted. He didn't look like he was in any mood to be bothered or talked to. So all I said was "what's up man, I'll be around so just hollar if you need anything" and went on with my duties. It was towards our last break, that he was visibly upset. He was sitting down on the stairs with his head down, teary eyed and everything. Another worker informed me, so being the team leader sometimes meaning taking extra duties..haha So I went to where he was sitting, kindly asked him if I can sit next to him. He told me he just going through a lot. I said okay, I didn't ask, but I told him to tell me about it.
So holding back his tears, he told me..Struggling with bills, heartbroken, family issues, transportation issues...I said, keep fighting, it's all part of growing up and maturing into a responsible productive citizen..haha I told him, I will put in a ticket for extra hours for him personally, and direct him to company resources for mental health if he wants it. As for transportation, a co-worker said he can donate a bike and helmet..I said great. Conner kindly accepted the offer....
I left that day thinking to myself...if only I listen to my own advice...hahah a
