I'm soon accepting a promotion and I'd love to know how to ask for some job security / benefits.
When I started working I was wide-eyed and ambitious. Starting early, staying late, taking extra shifts, reporting 30x the amount of hazards as everyone else, always trying to improve etc.
Lockdown happened and some people had to lose their jobs. I'm safe though because of everything above…right?
I was so naive.
That hard to swallow pill has jaded me severely. I kept my job and it had nothing to do with my work ethic.
Since then I make no extra effort. I do my job well and nothing more.
When I'm about to sign the new contract how do I say “You showed me you don't care if I am an incredible employee during lockdown. If you don't give me job security and reward me for doing more than required I will do just enough work to not get fired.” ?
