Wtf is this shit? Why does every scumbag corporate website tell me to “appreciate” being given more work?
“Do additional work to polish your skills!”
“Your boss will appreciate it!”
“Your CV will look good!” (This negates the fact that by working within your current job scope, your CV probably already looks good).
I work to be PAID. If I wanted to develop my skills, I’d go for a course or apply them to something I actually care about. My boss appreciating my work means nothing as it’ll probably mean they’ll take advantage of me in the future. I’m unlikely to get a pay raise or promotion from my boss just “appreciating” me.
The worst part is I can’t deny taking on these additional roles without being retrenched in this shit economy. My country isn’t like the US where I could get unemployment benefits or anything. There are almost no pro-worker laws here (or general welfare benefits) and everything is run for companies to be profitable.
