The American model tells us that there are people (businesses are made up of people) in the world that are perfectly prepared to operate a corrupt CJ system that imprisons people for profit. The approach of the US Justice system seems to be to pay private companies to incarcerate people thereby incentivising the CJS to imprison more people for longer and longer, especially if they are ethnic minorities. There is literature that refers to the use of prison labour in the US as 'the new slavery'. When you realise that these companies are THAT unscrupulous, you begin to recognise that all of the arguments against 'conflict of interest' and 'injustice' are futile. There are many that a satisfied with maintaining a thin veneer of respectability that allows them to cream off their profits. Once that is understood, the only option for the committed professional is to walk away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-3151100779172909722016-06-21T09:58:43.520+01:002016-06-21T09:58:43.520+01:00Thanks for your helpful comments I am going to try...Thanks for your helpful comments I am going to try the counselling you suggest I realise that I'm going to have to change in order to stay healthy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-91461554500590508282016-06-21T05:54:37.109+01:002016-06-21T05:54:37.109+01:00Wot "just a job!"

We are all marked by how many "extra miles" we are prepared to go, how much stress we can carry and how long we spend at the office telling each other how long we spend at the office. Until we fall off the perch and realise it cannot be done. Look after yourself, do your hours, try not to take all the crap home. In a month NOBODY WILL CARE about whatever you are doing now, not you, not your manager and not your client. 99% of the time we are wasting our time, the job is all about spotting the 1%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-82644936560311182772016-06-20T23:22:38.955+01:002016-06-20T23:22:38.955+01:00Empathise a 100% with your situation.

Ensure you are referred to Occupational Health, have recommendations for suitable support via EAP or GP referrals to community services. I received 1-1 cbt and anxiety management group. Ensure you have phased return and involve union rep to accompany you. Also a stress risk assessment. You may not be able to change the organisation, unfortunately, but may gain more control over your perceptions and work life balance. TAke care, put your own needs and recovery first - it's just job, they can't do any worse to you. If you can't return, explore other viable options - all the best and hope you come through this all with belief in your ability to move forward.

Don't think Gove will do us any favours ask the teachers what he did to them. Whatever the result of the referendum the decimation of public services will continue but the government will have a new excuse either because we stayed in or because we left the EU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-66538322249128221322016-06-20T20:52:43.716+01:002016-06-20T20:52:43.716+01:00I'm currently off sick after finally being ove...I'm currently off sick after finally being overwhelmed by TR stress !
