Making a difference is important to me. How about you?

Do you have your MITs (Most Important Tasks) on your To Do list?

Making time for joy is really important. Looking after your mental/emotional health should always be at the top of your list. After coffee of course!

October is Black History month. It’s theme this year is

I get why these are necessary. I get frustrated because businesses, big and small, jump on the band wagon as a marketing tool. Virtue signalling all over the place. They’re not the work required to make a real difference.

We don’t get to call ourselves an ally. No one does. That’s for those that we claim to support to decide. If you only think about them one month of the year then, you’re not an ally.

Even as an LGBTQ+ person, I know I have work to do on my beliefs about being gay, being trans. Living in a cisgendered, hetero, patriarchal society means I have absorbed basically hateful beliefs since birth that are subconsciously embedded in my brain. Maybe even before (check out epigenetics). But I want things to be different, so I take an honest look at where I’m at and work to replace them with love.

No one is immune from the need to look inward. If you want a better world, then you have to be honest about where you are contributing to it being s**t for others.

I’m really p*ssed off. Here’s why…

I recently saw a Facebook ad from which showed they were sponsored by Eon, a UK Utility Company.

I feel quite angry & upset about this as I used to work Eon & they seriously, negatively affected my mental health.

My personal experience is - they talk about supporting people with mental health challenges but don’t actually back it up with action.

During my time there, I worked on secondment & I became one of the best in the company at creating their operational excellence process guides. I am a hard worker & regularly exceeded my targets. But I still wasn’t seen as good enough.

At one point, I was struggling with my mental health, which their management exacerbated. I end up taking 5 weeks off with stress – directly due to their manager.

I was very honest with them about my challenges. I was in the middle of 8 sessions with a counsellor through their Employee Assistance Programme for extremely negative self-talk. My colleague advised me to request this.

I told them when I felt I wanted to shoot myself in the head to kill off that part of my brain that talked to me so horribly. I was honest with them the day after, when I’d had a particularly distressing session with the counsellor that I had slept badly causing me to be 2 minutes late. I then told the managers that I just needed to get a coffee. When I got back, I was pulled aside to be reprimanded for logging into my phone before I went as it meant I had stolen 15 minutes work from them.

When I got back, they gave me a first written warning as I was on an informal plan for having more than 2 periods off sick in 12 months. The reason given by the manager was because she knew I would work to improve my attendance. So, if I wouldn’t work to improve it, I wouldn’t have been given a written warning? I had to go through the additional stress to appeal and managed to get it overturned.

There were many other things, but this post is long enough already. But they are why I am self-employed!

Do you know the values of the companies whose tech you use?
In all honesty, I didn’t even consider it until I saw an article by Jess Rodriguez () about why they stopped using Kartra. (Due to the company wilfully ignoring requests for their position during the 2020 BLM protests.)
I hadn’t even considered investigating the values of the companies, whose tech I was using. Supporting other marginalised communities is important to me personally and therefore as a business owner. I can vote with my business and take it elsewhere if my values and theirs don’t align.
I was totally shocked to learn that Kartra refused to give a statement because normally companies jump on the band wagon and use marginalised to promote a caring image while doing next to nothing to actually support them in real terms.
Do you know the values of the companies you use in your business? Let me know in the comments.
