Maintenance Culture

I just went to put a wrench back in the maintenance tool box. I assist with maintenance after our mechanic leaves for the day. The tool box was broken (one of the air springs that lifts the lid had backed out of its rod end). The tool to fix it is in the box. It took maybe 90 seconds tops to fix. I want to stress this is the maintenance tool box, the tool box specifically for the maintenance mechanic to do maintenance, the tool box for the person whose sole job is to keep thinks from being broken, which was broken.

I’m not even sure how exactly to articulate the problem, but just every lean part of me is screaming internally and I don’t see how you get a culture like this to the place where it needs to be.

Thoughts?
