Oh crap...
I missed my "Compassion Fatigue" teleconference! So does this mean I can now be too tired of caring to give a fuck anymore? :crazy:

1. Compassion Fatigue?
WTF is that, and why does it need a teleconference?

2. I think it is more commonly called burnout...
and in my experience, it would take a whole hell of a lot more than a teleconference to fix that (like a career change usually).

3. I've never heard burnout
called Compassion Fatigue before. That's a new one in CorporateSpeak.

4. It's like they have nothing better to do with thier time than re-name
shit! I work with cognitively disabled people, the chronically mentally ill and substance abusers (and that's just the staff :P ) and they have gone from being clients to consumers to patients, back to consumers and now they are "members of the treatment team". It is maddening! :crazy:
