The diagram outlines the various steps involved in the production of olive oil. Overall, olive oil goes through seven stages before being packaged and released into the market. The process begins far from the industrial setting, with the olives being harvested directly from the trees. In the second step, the olives are rinsed with cold water before being placed on a conveyor belt connected to a smashing machine. This machine separates the olive paste from the olive stones, which are not needed for olive oil production. Next comes the pressing stage. The olive paste is, then, placed into perforated bags and crushed using a pressing machine. This process allows for the separation of oil from water. Finally, the oil is stored before it is ready to be sold. In conclusion, as shown in the diagram, the production of olive oil involves several stages—seven in total—and requires specific expertise.
Why is it important to have job autonomy?

And there are many people out there who don’t have the same experience as yours in this case. A few people trying to look for the job, some are waiting to be called for interviewed and others are waiting to get hired.

Your expectation about being free to express yourself is becoming a priority to support your position. You believed that always makes you optimistic in the probation time.
But, high expectation about those things has ruined your career. You are getting inferior because you are not able to express your ideas, strategy, and implementation in your way. At this time, you are feeling the boundaries is so bold and holding yourself back from things you capable of doing. As you are not a strict person who always depends on a formula to do something, sometimes you feel difficult to follow the standard.

Some people think this is not the right way to do. It seems like ourself are arrogant and don’t need to listen to senior advice. But, that’s not a point I want to emphasize here.
Foremost, autonomy makes your job performance better than when you don’t have it at all. It is because by having such freedom to express the idea, the workers will much confident and optimistic. It also hinders job stress that may make them feel working under pressure. The point here is how to make yourself happy while doing your job.
Frankly, Nothing will gonna stop your effort to reach the goals as long as you are getting job autonomy in doing whatever you do.
