Absolutely   

Good post. Management never consults me, never asks my input, never listens to what I say...which is why I stopped saying it. 

Every hitch, every day, comes down the latest litany of directives, instructions, changes, policies...none of which are negotiable or to be questioned. Just comply! Chop Chop!!

Management now has become simply the source of numerous distractions to my observing, thinking, planning, and doing process--which is the basis for safely, efficiently, and comfortably accomplishing this really very simple and enjoyable job.

That's why the job is no longer either simple or enjoyable.
