When we can do our jobs in isolation, focusing on the tasks we want to and ignoring others, it makes us less dependant on others. As a result, we may start to lose empathy and compassion.
I started my job in September, long before the snow and most of the staff arrived. I was living in humble communal housing, 7,000 feet above sea level with no phone, car or television, and making $6.50 an hour.
Everyone was broke and had very little. Most of us would catch a communal ride to town on paydays to get two weeks’ worth of groceries. Often, one regular-sized fridge was shared by up to 10 people, so the food was also humble. I shared with my family stories of the Saskatchewan generosity I experienced, wondering what set them apart. People from other places were kind as well, but there was always an extra layer that came from the farm kids.
