I've come across a few of these people and it always mystifies me Get hired at a place that's more or less chill, lovely McJob people put in good enough work to keep the place running but don't kill themselves either. This guy/girl rolls up new and starts absolutely busting rear end going as quickly as possible every day, working circles around everyone else. given that it's a stupid minimum wage/dead end type gig management doesn't give a poo poo and they don't get a raise or promotion for this. Instead of toning down their work ethic to everyone else's level or quitting they get more and more resentful of their coworkers and not management, ranting about how they work harder than everyone else. wtf is their deal? and this isn't a boomer thing either i've seen it in zoomers for christsake.

Some folks are just built that way, I used to know someone like that in my last job that flamed out and quit after it turned out working harder did not, in fact, give them better pay or benefits

Sometimes you gotta get that everyone's built different and you can't expect all of em to meet your standards or think the same as you do. It just do be like that.

Some guys are born wired to jizz in their pants every time the master cracks a whip. In the right dom/sub scenario the dopamine flows in so fast that eventually they short circuit.

I was that person at a job once but it's because it was the most braindead effortless job ever and even working at a pace where I felt like I was constantly on the verge of getting fired for spending 80% of my time staring at the wall, I completed 75% of the workload of my 3 person team, and the other 25% of the workload got done incorrectly.

my general rule is not to get upset about anything my fellow workers do and direct all of my scrutiny toward the executives maybe if i had any stake or ownership in the performance of the company i'd care more about how the low level employees perform

The only thing to care about is being better than your coworkers during annual reviews. Unfortunately it's inevitable somebody will show up who is better than you, so just help and support them and weigh your options when you see your raise. Typically I rate a gig on 3 factors: good team, good boss, and good type of work. I hope for at least 2 of those And good money can replace 1. After that, ignore everybody and just do the needful.

pencilhands posted:yes and no If you just need to vent and don't need internet advice, just disregard this. For context, I worked in kitchens for a decade, hourly, as a shift manager+line cook. And a lot of things that are standard in salaried positions I've now learned were totally foreign/unknown to me as an hourly employee. If you'd like to make more money, you should ask your manager, in whatever way makes sense for your job, how you can gain/crosstrain more skills. Then, ask annually at least to review the progress you've made. I don't know what's involved in being a diesel mechanic but I bet there's lots of stuff that's learned on the job and valuable. Keyword valuable, I never knew what my own worth was in kitchens. The best way to get a raise is get a competing offer from another company and go there, tho sometimes you can parley that into a raise with your current employer, caveat emptor.

Since he left they've been through about seven other managers because the expectations for the job are through the roof and no one normal is going to produce the same amount of work or even come close. When the big boss discussed me taking over the role a flat out said I’d never do as much work as him because a lot of it really didn’t matter, the previous manager did piss all and the end result was effectively the same.

Yeah there was this guy at the dicksucking factory and he was like, idk man somehow way too enthusiastic. I mean he would show up early, practice on the break room model dildos, always brag about finishing people off first but then he would go on break and eat rear end. Sometimes he would inject Novocain in his tongue and work late, and he was always looking through the client roster, calling people just to “hang out after work” and poo poo, like undercutting people. Anyways he got limp lip and had to quit. Enthusiasm doesn’t equal skill buddy.

The thing about any scam (which capitalism is) that you should remember is there's no bullshit slogan so dumb absolutely nobody will buy it. Popular media often presents the job market as a meritocracy where the only limit is your ability to psych yourself to work like a mule on amphetamine, some people buy it hook line and sinker.

I mean people are like this is school too going above and beyond when they don't have to, to try to impress people or suck up to the teacher. They probably think "all their hard work" will pay off one day, some day soon someone will recognize them for their hard work. Any day now. It's coming soon. Everyone will line up and take turns fellating them for an entire shift and then they will be made ceo of the company. Take that lazy good for nothing coworkers!!

Sometimes people don't realize stuff unless it is made very clear and direct. Also sometimes people think they are being clear and direct and other people have no idea what's going on.

Everyone else would go at their own pace and IDGAF what that might be, not my problem. Quite often they'd try to push me into management positions and I'd refuse because that meant I'd have to start giving a gently caress about other people's output and I sure wasn't interested in doing that at all. In one particularly lovely data entry job the manager was always micromanaging everyone and hassling me in particular about turning up a few minutes late here and there but during one of my reviews he let slip that my KPI was 120% and the rest of the office was under 100%, so not only was I the only one meeting targets but in every 5 day work week I was doing 6 days worth of work. Soon after he tried to write me up for turning up 5 minutes late and I gave my two week notice on the spot. In retrospect I guess he hated me in particular because I was meeting the targets so easily which really highlighted how badly he was mismanaging the rest of the team, lol

There's definitely no reason to kill yourself by working hard for employers that won't recognise you, in a job that won't reward you but having a positive attitude to work is quite important. At very least, having some direction and purpose might help you get out of a 'lovely mcjob'.

No but I work with the guy with one concern and one concern only and that concern is doing everything fast. Doesn't matter if they do it completely wrong or only partial completion, doesn't matter if they leave a mess of destruction and discarded materials and tools behind them for someone else to pick up. As long as they do it fast they've done it good enough! They've been told to slow the gently caress down and make sure they do things correctly, and that eventually by doing things correctly the speed of the process will take care of itself many, many times, not listened and hosed up plenty of customer orders this way and still have a job here because I don't know why.

Btw, how many of you personally suffered from wage theft? I was very fortunate in this regard but I did have to chase down one employer for a week for my paycheck after the place closed down suddenly.

Those are people you can weaponize to your advantage, dummy. Hyper active new co-worker, you just show and share how to do some basic tasks. They do a great job. When reviews and evaluations come around, you mention that you helped the hyper person on getting focused on some tasks, and suddenly you're regarded as a genius. Personally I've had quite the opposite experience of working with team mates that were completely lackadaisical and non-performers, literally not doing the job they were hired for. Weekly team meeting, everyone has tasks to work on, and one dumbass has not finished a single thing they were assigned by the next week's meeting. The rest of us conspired to do their work so they looked bad, not having any answers and the rest of us did. Had to get poo poo done.
