Walking Home

Once the weather breaks, I start walking to and from work. At first It’s so surreal; surrounded by so much beauty and wildlife. I often see the same critters year after year. As I watch them grow, some become familiar with me. Some will walk up close, some hop and others fly. I take a moment losing myself in their trust and gentleness. Then; my coworkers realize my pattern has changed, I’m walking to work now. They start showing up on my way to and from work. Waving lit cigarettes as they pass, blowing smoke into the air, waving cell phones with speakers full volume, boom boxes crammed in backpacks blaring so load they scare anything in the Valley. Lots of trash and cigarette butts start showing up along the pathway. Then I get to work and more retaliation begins.

 

Welcome to Yosemite’s Toxic Mobbing Community. You want to get them riled; expose the truth, stand up for what’s right, report a safety violation, report a work related injury. They will come down on you like nothing you have ever witnessed. There was a scathing article published in the San Francisco Chronicle on 6-2-19, that says a lot about Yosemite, but one thing you wont get; is a response from the Superintendent's office.
