What a bunch of condescending bullshit from our Executive Director, further proof they assume everybody below them is a moron.
All,
The events of the recent Pulse Nightclub, in Orlando, Florida, are a tragedy. Our thoughts go out to the friends and families of the victims of this unfortunate act of terrorism. I want to remind all of you about maintaining general situational awareness in public places at all times (such as being aware of your surroundings and knowing where exits are in buildings). We are mindful that events like these can affect each and every one of us in different ways, leaving us feeling vulnerable or unsettled. They can even bring back painful memories from other tragic events. If you, or any of your loved ones, are experiencing stress or anxiety over this event, we encourage you to contact the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP is completely confidential and you can access it from wherever you are, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Taking care of yourself during a stressful time is an important method for fighting the terror these type of acts are intended to provoke. At a times like this, it is important to remember to take care of yourself and each other.
Remember EAP is a free service provided to all employees to help them cope with many different types of stress and conflict. Please consider these services as the impact of this event continues to unfold.
