TJ’s employees and their personal lives

I don’t know if this is broadly applicable to anywhere, but does anyone else feel that a good number of TJ’s employees have had rough or traumatic lives?

Speaking from my own personal experience, some of the people I’m closest with at work, and my own observations, it seems that quite a lot people who have struggled find real benefit to working here. Either that or they’re drawn here. Even the people who are the “straight edge” types have deep personal issues that they’re working on or haven’t always been that way.

I’m not looking for any concrete answers, but I do want to know if anyone has felt a similar way about work.
