Brenda needs support, reassurance that she's valued. Doing great at work is important, but she needs to accept that her personal needs are important, too. Which may eventually include a sexual relationship, but should start with hobbies, friends, and rest.

I work in big corporation. Last time, when I was ill, I went on a sick leave (in my country we can take as many sick days, as we need, if we have a notice from doctor, and we call it sick leave) for a week. When I came back, one of our main accountants said that one week I'm absent and they can't work. Is that true? Yes. Is it my fault? No. Do I care? Absolutely no. When I'm sick, I'm sick. When I'm on vacation, I'm on vacation. My boss called me only once when I was on vacation. He never dared to do this again. Sad thing is that there is too many people like Brenda and too little like Donnda Sue.

Over the weekend my company had a big gathering since we’re all mostly remote, and I looked at a lot of the higher ups in the company and it made me think about how much time they devote to their jobs. And while I know several of them have healthy work-life balances, I know that statistically they can’t all. And it makes me concerned about what would be expected of me should I ascend that high.

My ex was a dept head. He started to feel punky one evening after dinner and was stressing about missing a big something at work the next day. His self-importance got wobbly and he said there was nobody else to do what he did and if he didn't show up it wouldn't get done. With as much love as I could muster, I said, "And God forbid you die during the night, who would do your job then?" He didn't pull that one ever again.
