I remember a time at work, where I was describing to a colleague the the difficult circumstances I was dealing with surrounding a new team organization. He said, "hold on a minute" and called our manager over and said to them, "I think you need to talk to Jake. He's in a really bad place"

My manager and I had a talk. I explained the details of recent interactions. He asked me if we could get the director involved. I agreed. He relayed the information to the director, while I sat feeling ashamed of my failure. My Director told me we were going to get HR involved. I said, "no, I don't think that's necessary."
