Well, I have taken what you've spoken into some serious thought. Heck, maybe I will come up with a dance if that is to help me in this what seems to be a never ending snowy forecast.

Dear Dr. autobunnyjekyll and Mr. PrezyMaxi-Hyde,
I am relieved once again to have found your office. I will get right into it.
For years now at my place of employment, we have had a cell-phone policy that indicates no cell phones on the floor. I have had trouble obeying that rule and have gotten in trouble numerous times over the years. Oral reprimands, written, and then for a while they couldn't catch me. They have tried and tried but I was too slick until they actually set up a plan. They served me with suspension w/out pay. Did that really stop me? NO. I was fighting the power of their cockamammy b.s. You see, all along I knew the cell phone never and has still never interfered with my work. It was a sense of control over me in particular which confused me because they should have known, I cannot be controlled. Just let me do my work. Any-whoo, it is what it is.
My concern is, now they have lifted the cell phone policy so we all can have our phones on the floor. Everyone is in heaven. I'm seeing cell phones, tablets, and even lap-tops crawling everywhere. Everyone acts like nothing has happened, and these same people who act like nothing ever happened, also have had their cell phones on the floor when it was illegal, I was just the one who they came after. Soooooo me on the other hand am still keeping my phone in my pocket and look around to see if there are any supervisors around before I pull my phone out. It has been a couple months now and I still do that! I have co-workers say, "hey, you know it's legal now right?" My response is, "yea, but I think I have some sort of PTSD about it"
Do they [management] not know the damage that has been done?? I tongue in cheek like mentioned that since the cell phone policy has been lifted, asked if I could have my days back and the pay. DENIED. How can I overcome this catastrophe?!
in advance, I appreciate your guidance and words of wisdom.

hey mexi, welcome back after a long hiatus.
switching to resident unsolicited solicitor hat:
legal reparations unfortunately would not be available since to work there you probably would have already signed off your soul in blood in the first place - something like "You accept that the Company reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice." in your contract. not unlike chess.com TOS.
back to the resident shrink hat:
while we cannot change what happens outside us, we can change our perception of the events and see it as a blessing:
1. you've learned to tighten your belt (not the one you use for squats/deadlifts)
2. you've had a few days off from the hell that is your work place and were able to spend it where it really matters, family.
going forward you might even profit from this.
1. let 'su gente' know it was you who made this happen, not some union
2. tell them it only took so long because there was no union or bargaining power
3. tell them to elect you as head of the union
4. start charging union fees
5. give off a percentage to your favorite charity aka the bunny

UNBELIEVABLE!! All your points make sense!!! The one in bold really hit me because I have told the crew exactly that. "Hey you all, you should be thanking me because I take the brunt of everything so you can live a happier life at work!"
The bosses know they cannot touch my work but for some reason feel the need to keep me down. They all have a bad case of micro-manage. There is a lot at play, but all I know is this PTSD never came to the forefront until I started working here.
(i'll start saving my pennies for the buniculitus charity foundation) - Welp, I'll be up all night so there may be a few more situations I have to vent off.

Ok Dr. bunny-poointheloo, I have a dilemma at the home front. You see for the past couple of years, one of my spawn has not been flushing the toilet after their business is done. Whenever I attempt to confront the poo-bomber, no one is fessing up. The answer is always, "not me". I don't want to know who DIDN'T do it! I want to knw who DID! I proceed to tell them that and then I go down the line and interrogate. I don't mind the interrogation. It has this sense of....power among these minions. There is never a straight face because it's just so damn funny in the long run. I try my detective face as best as I can but come on! We are talking about poo here! It's funny! I usually have to go into detail on how it always is bobbing out of the water and it's so huge that I wonder how in the world it came out of these little rats!
After a few times over and over, I and my amazing detective skills, realized they ALL are suspect!! It isn't just one of them, it's all of them but none of them are as consistent in not doing it as one of them is. So, I came up with a plan to help out these leeches and it was this poster I made up......
I thought it would work. I suppose it did for a while but then the poo bandit struck again...and again and again. I'm at a loss here man!!! What can I do?! After I see it, there is no way to un-see it. It haunts me in my dreams, when I take a shower, eating chorizo....ayyy yi yi!!! ayudame por favor!!!
Check is in the mail ....thanks

Ah the old doodoo issue. The bunny suggests what he calls reassociation.this is where we disassociate something from its perceived unpleasantness and associate it with something pleasant.
Let's use caddyshack as an inspiration which features a famous poo in the pool scene
it was just a chocobar after all.
There is however a minor risk of reverse association where now you totally stop enjoying chocolate. All disclaimers apply.

As Martin stated elsewhere they're still in training. My business is booming.
Well, for starters, this dog is happy to be back on the couch...
Asking for a friend here, what should my friend do when someone (female) was waiting for him at his house without letting him know? This was in the middle of winter and this person was hunkered in her vehicle all bundled up just waiting for him. it wasn't out of anger or negative connotation. She just never told him. So, imagine as he stumbles home completely inebriated and finds this woman's vehicle with her in it. Imagine the shock and surprise he was in!
He says he made it to her vehicle without stumbling and lightly tapped on the window to a.) first see if she was alive, and b.) to see what is going on with her. She was alive and popped her head out from under the many layers of blankets and they both said "hi" to each other. He couldn't let her stay there so he said, "let's go inside and talk" . He had to find out what is going on with her in a positive way as well as lightly let her know this was a big no no.. Another problem however was this female was dropping off a bunch of kitchen knives which really freaked out my friend. He offered to take them before they made it to the front door.
In the end, she just wanted to see the guy.
Bunny, sorry if this is a handful first time back but, it's been a while and I have a lot to discuss...
In advance, thank you for your time and what should he do? or what should he have done?
No

The bunny is happy to have this dog on the couch as well. Wait, that came out wrong ...
Female in the middle of winter? Sounds like some ice breaking is in order. If it worked for this maccio wimp, it'll work for you.
Unsure what the knives were about but could have been an invitation to dance.

AHA! I knew it!! muchas gracias
Ok doctobunny, It's been snowing year around over here and I have been trying to figure out how to make it stop. We're talking blizzards here and there, flurries everywhere, it's so cold I get the shakes. I have a couple friends that help with the shoveling. Jack and Mary. Sometimes Jose and his cousins, but always Mary. She's as reliable as the snow when it falls.
Are you a weather bunny? Doc? wake up man. ya want yo chedda right?
The bunny has heard of rain dances but a no snow dance could be worth a try. Now rain dances are normally done by native Americans who seldom see rain. So logically we'll need to get someone who's never seen snow to make this work. Maybe real Indians (not the Columbus kind) from the southern regions. Maybe this guy.
the way he moves, he's almost certainly active on chess.com. all we need to do is locate him.
If the Napster was here he'd find him easily.
