How very true. Both of my daughters take up the slack of people who stand around with their thumbs up their asses. I constantly tell them not to do that and the answer is always "If I don't do it, it won't get done".

If it doesn't get done it's not my problem. I've learnt the hard way to do only what I'm paid to do. Unless there's a real emergency, like an illness or similar, I just don't care.

Better, you get the bosses work. Then his bosses work. No raise or title. Just client services manager doing the evp's job and the division is doing better than it ever has in the past. Your bosses get promoted and you get to keep you job for the moment. Seen it happen. Directors and VP's blatantly tell the manager they has more experience and qualifications than they do. Not title or raise seen in the future.

What's the saying nowadays? Work your wage? Hard work is rewarded with more hard work and no extra pay. Work your stated schedule then go home.

And not be appreciated for it or get any kind of raise! Just the expectations to keep doing it and take on more work too while others that have a degree in kissing a** get the promotion that’s been dangled in front of u

Yup. I sleep until like 6:50 and then i have to leave for school at 7:15, so my foolproof way to get ready is just do everything around midnight, and then go to sleep.
