Do not ever become an irreplaceable employee. If so, you will never be promoted.

Or when someone who's always cheerful has one bad day everyone freaks out.

That is not how commas work.

Usually the lazy ones know someone who knows someone, and ends up getting a promotion for doing nothing. I've seen it happen, unfortunatel
UserNamesArentEasy
This is why it is good to have a working relationship with you direct supervisor. Unless they are a tool then yea fuck that job.

Just remember, it's not how hard you work, it's how hard they THINK you work

Because a lazy person is expected to be lazy. A hard worker is expected to work hard. Bam.

Even when its the year anniversary of your best friends wifes death and you call in last minute to be with him and your boss gets all shitty

Cause that happened today, and it may be a part time job in a restaurant and last minute, but that guy can fuck him self.

Worked at a university hospital once, coworkers had to go far for a smoke break. So they would take 45 minute breaks like it was nothing.1/2

Your only reward for working hard is more work.

Wouldn't the paycheck be the reward that you earn for the work you provide?
Svartlebee
That's not a reward for *hard* work. Going above and beyond.

I thought the only reward was losing your job.

Promotion: 3% more pay for 300% more work.
srslysterling
Unless you're in consulting where it's 50% more pay and you just supervise other people's work.
Arcian
Or you could have rich parents and inherit their multibillion business with 30,000% more pay and having to do literally no work whatsoever.

As someone who became lead in my team, I couldn't agree more!!!

Don't let the naysayers get you down. Working hard DOES lead to promotion. I took a LONG road to get where I am. I now own my own company.

ramshead91
We have a guy where I work that has been passed up for promotions twice because he is yo profient in his current position.
ramshead91
I am unaware if he's been given raises yo compensate but with our boss is doubt it
LyleVanDeGroot
How'd you manage to do that twice?
ramshead91
It is a lab tech 3 where I work. He has been passed up for both management type and more project type roles because of how efficient he is
SprungLake
I've heard that companies don't want to promote their best employees because then they'll lose their best employees.
srslysterling
How would that be losing them?
SprungLake
They wouldn't be doing their old job anymore
srslysterling
But their best employee would be doing bigger more important things, or training people to do their old job as well as the best employee did
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
that's also just more work.
samthing
Lazy people are usually good at looking busy. And good friends with boss.

Zoltar666
So, who’s the winner here?
WillAlwaysUpvoteTAWOG
no, because the lazy bitch has some relations with the boss: fiscal or physical.
BluePaladin42
Honestly, it's more that managers are conditioned to only react, so they never notice lazy workers because that's the norm.
BluePaladin42
In extreme cases, they DO notice lazy, but because it's the norm, they don't bother with it. Everyone else is expected to make up for it.

Never do anything more than your job at work, otherwise that becomes your job too

See... government work has this wonderful bonus system. If you do your job too well, you get more work and/or less resources to do it with.

I mean, if your going to be there for a while yeah. I busted ass in my last job though bc it was a 6 month gig. Got some kick ass refs.

Before I quit, I was responsible for: sales, translation, engineering, manager role (he quit). Did I mention I was only a regular sales guy?

Got paid the same as the other sales people. It's all about who you know (hang out with), not how much you work or how efficient you are.

I’m encouraged to embark on projects iI love in my own for the same reason. That will then become my job too.

I don't believe in asking for a raise unless its justified. If you're doing the same thing since you started, why do you deserve a raise?

once answered the phone at 7:20 instead of 7:30, cust kept calling until 1 day I couldn't and they FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. Nope, never again

Fuck this. I fire people who say "That's not my job". Work your ass off, own your work, build a kick ass resume and move on if no promotions
Reorder
Did you promote, or give a decent raise, or even a nice bonus, to those that did things out of their stated job?
TheAssassinArtemisEntreri
If there is room and capital, of course. You get room (through expansion) and capital when people are going above and beyond. It's a cycle.
Reorder
So its "Work extra for me, and if you make me more money, you might get some. If it works out". I'd rather be fired by someone like you.
TheAssassinArtemisEntreri
Companies can't spend money they don't have dude.
iwillbeback
Sadly, this is very true. If you do it once, people automatically expect you to always work more

That's why you only do exactly what is expected of you when you get a new job until you can figure out if they reward hard work or not.
