[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 865934, member: 1944"] I think a big problem is, employees are afraid to file grievances, because the harrassment will be worse. I know for a guy like you, not saying it is a bad thing but, many people cannot stand confrontation, will go a mile to avoid it at all costs, others such as yourself thrive on it. Especially if you know you are right. While I can understand what makes a person suicidal over a job, I also know there are far better ways to cope. I know of a guy who was in his own car, and on his own time, who pulled 5 feet and realized he didnt have his seat belt on, and OMG. You begin to feel like you are being constantly watched, which you are, and it flows into your personal life. That is pretty sad. While we are well compensated, everything else has gone away. Compassion, respect, understanding that while we all bleed brown, we are human and will still make mistakes. Even trying to be perfection in motion, things happen. Getting into a routine of doing everything they tell us we need to do, helps make it almost like an involuntary muscle thing, such as blinking. Dont try to beat the system, just do it like they say, each and every time. And when all else fails, take a break, a day off, enjoy the fruits of all your labor. Regroup and fight another day. I dont think this militant like workplace shall change anytime soon. Go make money, do your best, and forget it. You cannot change what they are doing, you can only change the way you handle it.
