The Smell Bothered Me At First....Entry #600946
In September of 1996 I began working for an employer, which I presently am still an employee. A very large interesting community filled with different types of people who seemed, by the way, to be very friendly. The waves, smiles and hellos, however, were not as I thought them to be. They were mostly superficial ways to manipulate private information out of you. For some I truly believe their goal, to find out as much personal information as they could about you and what they couldn't find out. Well, they would lie or gossip. I know..depressing isn't it? Well, I am very private and I always have been. A trusting nature and being honest are traits that I have and so my initial response to everyone being so nice was wonderful. I soon found out the hard way when personal information was blown out of proportion and I knew that only one person had that information. I was so hurt and experienced my first "Welcome to the real world" where things are NOT as they seem. Anyway, getting back to the ambitions and knowledge that I was about to absorb was a really exciting for me. I was very hopeful and had so much to contribute and in return I knew, or thought, that the more you know, learn and execute the more valuable I would be to my new employer. Since I was completely new and was very green. Never working in this type of atmosphere the smell was really the only thing that bothered me the most.. It took months for me not be nauseated every time I walked through the employee gate. Bright eyed and bushy tailed I was truly amazed and " WOW "!! This is such a great place to work and the possibilities seemed endless. I actually thought I was content or at least I was going to have the capability to provide for my family and have a little extra on the side for a rainy day. The American dream maybe could be accomplished and I had hopes of making a career out the wealth of knowledge I was going to soak up by learning as much as I could. They let me learn and learn and do...do do and the more I wanted to exercise they let me. All of the versatility and different jobs that I could do efficiently and accurately. I worked very diligent and I honestly cared about what I was doing and took my positions very personal. After all, if i was working in an area and something got out to the public I did not want something done incorrectly it had to be done right. I am blessed with an eye for detail and I am methodical about everything that I do anyway so I earned respect very quickly with many of the upper management team. If I stated something and/or requested something that needed repaired or adjusted or looked at they knew it to be true and would make sure those things requested were completed. Life was so busy at that time I didn't have much of a social life and working on off shifts with forced overtime I wasn't always as perky as I usually am. Thinking back now about that time I wonder really how I got through those long hours and not a lot of sleep periods. One thing though I thought I was one of the considered "perfect model employees" and at that time I really wasn't worried too much about anything company related or for sure not company related issues that soon would surface involving me. I was helping with training and assisting the training managers of new hires, temps or seasonal employees from May to the end of September I was so busy it made my head spin. Participating in the activities of a couple of committees eventually I was wearing myself pretty thin. Then a new contract became effective the moods of people were changing and I noticed that there wasn't any type of unity within the walls of our work. Hourly and Salary..but not even amonst hourlys ..I also began to see how some people were very manipulative and seemed to get away with practically doing nothing yet earning the same as I earned so I was confused but still remained just as I am today. A hard working employee. About six years into my employment there I developed some issues with my wrist and hand. I really didnt think too much about it because I was fit and healthy and actually at that time I thought surely was invincible. My experience and capabilities were allowing me to be utilized pretty much anywhere my employer needed me to work and I honestly thought they cared about me as a person.I was such an asset so if I needed them I thought they would be there for me. I was in a class of employees that were the chosen work anywhere they asked me. Helped anyone that needed help and I was reliable and dependable., but all of hard work and dependability didn't mean anything and I was foolish to think in hindsight that it ever could have or would.
