Whooof. I can feel my work diplomacy skills getting a workout.
Needed to find the compassionate but firm way to deflect requests for JS/CSS help from my old team, because "I bailed from webdev for very good mental health reasons and by the way I'm pretty sure my boss when I worked with you was transphobic or at least kinda sexist" is, sadly, probably not a good move as the first thing I say to someone in 6 months.
That was 6 chat messages and it seems like it took subjective HOURS of emotional labor.
