YouTube video (Mike Andes) in which a team debates firing an unreliable employee named Tim; the speaker argues the team lacks insight into Tim’s background. A veteran, Crystal, introduces herself, mentions war-related injuries, says she left service in 2016 and deployed to Afghanistan, and describes having good and bad days while using coping tools.
I had a guy, I was gonna fire him. I'm giving him one last chance. And I told him last night, I said, man, I need you here 40 hours a week, and I need you here to be on time. And he's late the next day.
The problem right now is that the team wants Tim fired because he's been unreliable. But I. I can guarantee they don't know what he's going through or has been through.
I'm a veteran. I have, you know, certain war injuries and stuff that I'm dealing with. Yeah. Hey, I'm Crystal.
When did you get out?
2016.
Did you deploy? What branch were you in?
Afghanistan.
Oh, wow. Is it still, like, tough? Like, sometimes just operate, though, just from coming back from all that?
Sometimes. Sometimes. But, you know, they give us good tools to help us out, to help cope with a lot of things. You know, I have good days, bad days, just like anybody else.
