Hi there,
The higher up the food chain (pun intended) you get the more you look at "battle scars" as paper work and loss of productivity.
We all have them and if we thought about it carefully we would all admit that they where caused by carelessness or in-attention in fact when I fill in the W.C.B. claim forms under reason for incident (not accident anymore) I usually write Stupidity.
You say that you just finished a 14 hour shift, why? is the establishment you work for breaking labour codes? Are they understaffed? does ownership or management have that little respect for their staff that they would let them work a 14 hour line shift? or are you trying to prove something, nobody is doing anybody any favours by working those kind of hours on the line, productivity drops, quality drops and accidents happen, luckily this time it was you and you didn't end up putting some poor immigrant dishwasher with a family to feed in the hospital.
Get some balance in your life, if you continue to work those kind of shifts you will end up hating your job and resenting the ownership, or else looking for other ways to keep the energy levels "high" and that won't do you any good at all.  |
