Can you compare yourself when you first started working here and now? I have been working here for a little over two years. Chronic stress and excessive exertion have severely impaired my health. First I got spine problems, and now I have learned that stress has negatively affected my thyroid as well. In just two years, I feel like I’ve become 10 years older. Of course, I gave notice.

I dont know about getting old fast. 31 years for me. You worked here 2 years? Whoopie Doo ! I do not listen to whiners who have been here less than 5 years. Even then it is tough to watch those young tears knowing how little they have put in compared to true long timers . Has my body suffered after all the time I have been here ? Yes. That would have happened no matter where I worked. Are there problems here ? Yes , many many problems but hard work is not one. Hard work is hard work where ever you work. The real problems here are not physical , they are people problems. The first responsibility of being human is to treat other humans like they are human.
