Tbh I’m really just done. I like to get my work done quickly at my job and leave ASAP. For me, as long as my bills are paid, then everything else is fine.
There are others at work though that milk their hours for all that they’re worth, and I’m fine with that as long as it doesn’t affect me, which it has. Today I got done at my 4 1/2hr mark. I could have left, but was made to stay for another hour and a half since someone else hadn’t finished their job. They could have finished early. They had help, but they wanted to milk it. And of course if they don’t have help for the last bit they have to do, they’ll pitch a fit.
The thing is, whenever I’m left by myself to do something, and this person is done early, they get to peace out. Same with almost everyone else in our department. It’s incredibly frustrating, and then they get mad when I want to leave when I’m finished and don’t want to help them out.
I am there to do MY work. Not yours. When I am done with my job. I am done with my job. Unless something out of your control has happened to put you behind, do not count on me staying any longer than I have to. Especially when you won’t bother to help me when I’m in the weeds.
I wish my manager would stop rolling over and giving in to this person just because they don’t want to deal with an altercation. Granted, this person does know how to pitch one helluva fit, but to me that’s all the more reason to put your foot down.
