A recent Wall Street Journal article — an actual article, in the workplace/lifestyle section, not even an op-ed! — laments the recent trend of horrible, lazy workers who, umm … *checks notes* … tak…
I’d say work to your compensation, not the bare minimum. Bare minimum is what you do when you make bare minimum.
But- do take all your compensation. Time or money, its yours, you earned it.
I busted ass at my first two jobs and never got raises to match so I walked into my current one with a different mindset. I do only what’s asked of me and nothing more unless I think it’ll fun. When it’s not, I tell them to talk to my boss to get it on my calendar. It’s so much easier to avoid mistakes when you’re not stressed out from overwork.
It’s incredible. I wish I would have thought to do this 15 years ago.
The issue with the do the bare minimum attitude is it’ll end up hurting you more than them.
Do good work, be reliable, and take the time you’ve accrued/are given. This type of person is above average these days. Only incompetent managers have an issue with that.
