Your plan
Self-advocacy at Fenmore Line 4
Saying what you need, want, don't understand or won't do — and choosing how.
Not the same as: Only complaining about unfair treatment. Asking for something to do is self-advocacy too.
Workdays to walk through
Workday 01 · Eleven Minutes
Monday · 5:52 AM
The guard on Press 4 sticks if you close it properly. Everyone bypasses it. Today it's your hands near the die.
Where self-advocacy shows up: A sticking safety guard puts production pressure and your working conditions in tension.
Workday 02 · The Ninety-Second Handover
Wednesday · 5:50 AM
Nothing is on fire. There's just a repetitive check, a handover note nobody quite reads, and eight hours of staying awake to a job that mostly runs itself.
Workday 03 · After the Trucks Left
Friday · 2:14 PM
A customer flagged out-of-tolerance housings — from a batch that already shipped. The dates on the boxes point straight at your run on Press 4.
Practice steps
These get harder as you go. Tick the ones you have actually done at work — nobody is grading this.

The Return
An unusual return raises the question of when to ask a manager for guidance.
