Yes! Pretend that you feel like this but do your own thing man. Show up to work excited but only do what you’re paid for or what they deserve.
I work just hard enough not to get fired
Peter? Yo man, check out channel 9!
Everybody is down to work. They just aren't little bitches who say thank you when you abuse them.
Not just on the Americas side of the pond, apparently.
I'm applying for dozens and dozens of jobs right now in the UK, so I expect to get plenty of rejection emails, but today, Monday, two days before Christmas, 11 rejection emails so far, which is a record (I'm not upset, I am aware I will get far more rejections than interviews). Obviously people are working like crazy to get everything done right before Christmas, but I thought at least the UK was more relaxed on this stuff. You really couldn't wait until January to send out rejection emails? Gotta grind right up to Christmas?
You know thw thing is all the tales of really successful people arent about going to the office early and grinding down some stupid task a superior gave you but about following your dreams and putting effort into those. Quitting your job and taking out a loan to build a racecar or start helping people with pc repair or whatever your dream is, is better advice than putting any effort into something you hate. Its not work ethic but being a mindless slave.
Pay me as little as you can get away with and I will work as little as I can get away with.
Actually, guys, boots are super tasty and licking them is very cool.
This gives big "Brian Johnson is a working class hero" vibes.
Even if you work at one of the rare unicorns where hard work is rewarded with raises and promotions, hard work has nothing to do with working extra hours. Fuck off with this "You need to be the first one in and last one out" shit.
It wants you to be a janitor?
When you have nothing in you life but your job, are you even living at all? At the very least not a life that is worth living IMHO

Hehe.
If you want to play it that way: let me count my 2 hour commute through standstill traffic as paid hours.
As it should be. Both directions.
Lol what a brown noser
I have work ethic.
If work pays me the bare minimum then i will match them in-kind. It's only fair.
Side tangent: I hate the term 'nuggets of wisdom. Seriously, only Tenders of Wisdom are much tastier.
Boneless Thighs of Wisdom
That's my thighdeology.
Idk what's more upsetting: the fact that I was called out as a slacker. Or this slacker waited 6 months to post this... Either way, where both in the same boat... I feel called out.
I have a work ethic. I guess some people wouldn't like mine, but I have one.
