Return to Work
I have always been a company man and upheld the best interest of the company. After my injury and return to work despite informing HR staff of every passing stage I was going through I realised it was just going in one ear and out the other as they “knew what was best for me” I was to return to a section that was in a building I could not get to due to staircases (wheelchairs don’t climb steps) so I was to return to the front counter of Lost Property.

My First Post
My very first post!!! People decide emotionally then justify intellectually. Very few people make decisions by first assessing the facts and then coming to a decision. Most people decide from the gut and then find reasons why that was a good decision. Therefore, when you’re seeking a decision, only present facts that will elicit an emotional reaction but which then hold up to scrutiny.
