Life

It has been a couple of months since I have posted anything on here. It is time to post again. Recently I visited Toyota, my old place of employment. They were having a health fair and I talked to Sandy, the nurse, and asked if we could come and be a part of it. She was excited to have a chiropractor as part of the health fair. It was interesting going back. It felt so weird to drive through that gate again. Only this time as a visitor. After the health fair ended I stayed through their lunch to see all my old friends. It was good to see everyone. I was surprised to see how some had aged considerably in just the four or five short months I have been gone. It was the same atmosphere. Everyone was so negative. Not much has changed there just the faces. They had a lot of temporaries and again they are working a lot of overtime. Not much laughter or fun goes on there anymore. It is a shame a place that could be so awesome to work at has become a prison to so many. I know how they feel because I felt that way also. It seems as if management does not allow fun. I know when I was there if they saw someone enjoying there job it seemed as if they would do something (make some silly rule) that would stop the fun. I am not saying people should do things that are unsafe. But I see nothing wrong with someone enjoying their job. Why does management feel a need to steal peoples joy. Are they so miserable that they want everyone else to be miserable too? I used to love that job. But as management changed, the rules changed and those rules felt like chains, imprisoning those that work there. Dooming them to a lifetime sentence of misery. Holding people down and frustrating them to the point of resentment and anger. It is no wonder that moral is so bad in that place. I just wish management could see how they are destroying that place one rule at a time. Once again, I am so thankful that God chose to remove me from that prison. I am much happier because of it.
