I used to work in a very violent job. I was assaulted a handful of times, had threats made to me, and still bump in to the people who made those threats or contributed to my distress (sometimes simply just by being there) on a day to day basis. I try not to let it get to me, my new colleagues are oblivious to the stress my old job put me under and I find it hard to listen to them talk about how hard it is having to work some weekends, finish at 6pm occasionally and not have a canteen on site. I know I can't expect people to understand how awful some jobs are, but I'm struggling and have flashbacks to my old workplace. Nobody knows how hard I find it and nobody knows the effect it had on me. I joke about it in order to make light of it.
AIBU to think that people don't know how easy they've got it? Even though I know it's unfair to expect everyone to understand if they haven't been exposed themselves...
