I’m a good worker. I dislike adding responsibilities without a pay raise. I do just enough but if I feel like it, I will do extra only if I want to. I tend to avoid getting too involved with work related stuff because I have it in my mind that ‘that work place is not my business’ it’s simply a service transaction. I get paid per the work I agreed to do. That being said, I am starting to get caught up with my boss’s hostility. He is a man with multiple hats, doesn’t know how to delegate. When he does ask for people to help him out, he comes off rude. His problem is he is a “yes man” and expects everyone to be the same. I was able to deal with his micromanaging because I just think to myself “alright man you want to be in do know it all…have at it idgf”. He constantly tries to push for me to want to do more for the company and give in and be part of their “team” but I don’t. Recently, he has been a little less discreet with his pushiness and now it’s getting to me. I don’t care enough to correct him because idgf about how that business runs. It is not my business, not my problem. I just pretty much want to do my work and get paid. How can I avoid his comments from getting me upset?? Example: yesterday I told him “by the way tomorrow I’m leaving at 4” he responded with “you have to say CAN I leave at 4” in my head I was like wtf your not my father. I chose to not say anything because to me that was childish. There was more to that conversation but this is just one of the things that got to me. He is 37, has a wife and children, works pretty much 24/7. Im 31, live alone, no children. We have different priorities. I try my best not to care about this place because I value my time and unfortunately i have to give it up for money if I want to pay my bills and live comfortably. I just cannot allow this place to get in the way of me time. When I clock out, I’m done. I don’t want to take any of that home. That to me is giving free time to a business that aint mine. If I waste time home that’s because I chose not because work related things are bothering me. Thinking about work outside of that place is time wasted.
