I have lived in a technical expertise required vocational area for all my life. I was an antisocial kid always so I went to somewhere where I don't have to deal with customers or other people in general. Industry tech worked for me.

Well, There were the yearly safety seminars which I am forced to attend. And the 5year accreditation cards you need to do. This was fine, until some years ago you also need to take accreditation on 2 other things every year. The yearly safety seminar where some shithead was yelling at me for 4 hours not to use ladders wasn't enough anymore.

I feel like if I gave my daily job to some of these insurance managers they would immediately kill themselves - Using a knife to peel a potato and instead sticking it in your neck. Everyone knows and pretends to be retarded for some reason? I mean everyone uses ladders, you can't do your job without them and we have the righteus A-type ladder, just because of this. It's sertificated.

So. As of now. A-ladders are now denied, because of safety hazard. If you kill yourself using a ladder, no insurance will be paid. Using hammers is banned, there was something in the Vnet about something. It's all retarded. We still need to use ladders. There are 8 new safety guidelines on people doing something, they'll see. I mean we need ladders.

Anyway where was I. Ladders are banned. Stools are also banned. Every year, some bureaucrat or consultant requirement will cause me to spend more time filling out paperwork instead of doing my job. It's maddening, I spend good 70% of my time dealing with these inane emails.- how am I supposed to keep up. I have like 74 clients here to do. I took a mandatory internet safety seminar with email and was was given a salary increase.

I placed an automatic responder to every email. It says: "I'm busy right now with [{table_work[query.current] current ++1]}, I'll circle back to you". I don't even know if anyone else knows to question what it is. Seems good enough. No one has asked me for anything in 26 years.


I change lightbulbs for the government.

If I'm a senior leader in a workplace with a zero-defect culture, then when something goes wrong I have to be seen to "do something". Everyone above me will be "doing something" and if I don't I will be noticed and/or punished. This "something" rhymes with more training and banning ladders. This overhead is fine if one recognizes that changing the light bulbs doesn't really need to get done, and when it does someone will do it on the sly. If you can cynically recognize that then your life is easy.

If it turns out that holy-shit the light bulbs really do need to get changed or consequences will never be then same, then you cannot have a zero-defect culture. You have to accept that there will be some bodies under the bulbs. Maybe not everyone gets to go home to their families when something really is important.

When should we take pride in our work?
When the quality of your work shames or defeats someone else. Pride in anything less is just a participation trophy.
 
When should we take pride in our work

Always.

So then.
I think if you do something that is productive or good or adds for civilization, that is something you can take pride in.
You should take pride if you are constructive in any way,

Now then we can have the fight on if forever encroaching bureacracy is
