Found out that a newer work colleague, who I haven't had much to do with before, is actually struggling a lot emotionally, and is insanely isolated with no idea how to navigate the situation. I had no idea and I felt awful that I had never checked in with her or realised what was going on amidst my own troubles.

We had a very long chat that made me reflect on a lot of things I'd been through more recently, and how severe the impact of poor post-lockdown workplace team management can be on individuals, especially recent arrivals to the country. I know we all like to talk about the benefits of WFH but professional isolation really sucks arse.
