@Kyresti If I had to really pare it down to fundamentals: Lack of managerial support. Covers a lot of things, but good managers (and people up the chain from them) are EVERYTHING.

@CoyoteTraveller @Kyresti This. Even vague support from management and more than a casual fuck thrown our way has meant the difference between sleeping at night at all and some of the worst mental health, period.

At its best, I feel vaguely insecure but stable. Worst (two separate occasions), I was constantly on-call and had a manager that gaslit me and coworkers to leave and doubt ourselves for years.

To summarize: people make a big difference.
