Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jesse, hah! Yes, a big part of good management is knowing what to keep mum on until you're here, or at the bar with your friends.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a big part of being a good employee in general, IMO.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A certain amount of mask wearing is necessary to do work in the world, I'd say.

Maybe it's just culture fit.

I mean, I've started going out drinking during the work day with everyone but her, so I'm not sure what the problem is???????

Um, wtf. I have never considered at work whether something is "emotionally safe". While no one should feel unsafe at work or be abused, my emotional safety is...not work's job?

And to be clear, what I was asking her to do was participate in team planning for the fiscal year. That's where she is afraid she will not feel emotionally safe. Due to sadness over a coworker getting a different job??

So will Kushner or Trump Jr. be the first to say "I don't feel emotionally safe on the witness stand"?

Huh.

my emotional safety is...not work's job?

I don't know if I exactly agree with that. If it's a matter of it being okay to have emotions while at work, I am all for more of that for everybody.
