If you do these things you will pass

The following story was told to me by a friend of mine who heard it from someone else.

Apparently, somewhere in this great land of ours is a place of work with a very special set of rules. If the rules are followed for the most part, then employment continues. However if there is no deviation, if there is in fact a slavish devotion to minutiae or its opposite, a major deviation from norms, then employment is rescinded.

Strangely enough, this business operates in a lucrative sector but the engagement of the employees is at an all time low, despite this, their managers do almost their best (see above) to give them almost all the support they can and just about nearly as often as more-than-chance succeed if only partially.

Liminality all the way up down left right backwards forwards in-between beside and around.

This company does not break or kill its members. Life will do that. This company bends its members. Distorts them until they resemble each other like so many camels in a caravan.
