It must be nice to work for a company that uses it's power to elevate it's workers moods and production. Yes a well oiled machine works much smoother when everyone is happy and feel respected. We need more of that in workplaces these days. Miss-use of power is far too common, it wears a person down over time.

The plants where we work treat their workers nice but we are temp contractors and our bosses and companies abuse pretty much who they want and mostly get away with it. Keep trying tho, one step at a time.

It's refreshing and, I know, reasonably rare to come across an organisation like mine; I do not take it for granted as I've worked in places that were the antithesis of the current.

Leaders, for some reason, often think it's best for productivity to exert power upon their teams but it never works as well as support, empowerment, leading with good examples and other such productive things. Sad really.

People act different in front of those bosses than behind their backs too. I'm trying to inspire change but old ways are rooted deep. Value it if you have it, glad you can appreciate it and be a proper leader for your team in return. Nowa days when bosses on the jobsite are too much, nobody moves. Maybe it will iron out someday. A lot of today's mental health issues probably comes from soul sucking conditions at work.

Change is often slow to come in this area; change in the leadership and also change in the general workforce which also have their issues to address.

Yeah, you are right, change is slow and it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, teaching the next gen to do better is best bet.
