> Kaya Taylor, a KU student in secondary history and government education, has trauma stemming from chronic health issues. She has found successful practices with management being put in place at her on-campus job which helped her and could help others if widely adopted.
> At a previous job, Taylor felt pressured to explain herself and felt that she needed to share too much with management in order to get a needed call-in so she would not need to work. However, that has since changed at her new job.
> “I think the biggest thing my manager did to support me was giving me space with it and not making me feel guilty,” Taylor said. “American work culture definitely inflicts this insane sense of guilt on people for asking for time off or accommodations in the workplace for things, even for being legitimately sick, but in my case most of my problem was mental exhaustion. My manager did a lot for me just by not prying into it, trusting me when I said I had this issue, and making a plan with me on when I might be able to come back in. It felt like my privacy was really respected.”
