I'm a tryhard. Not going to sugarcoat it. I like to be busy from the moment I clock in the the moment I clock out. If there isn't enough work I ask for more, because for me work= the day goes by faster. It's not me trying to look better, it's me filling my time.
I also genuinely enjoy the work I do, it's rewarding and I'm fairly compensated and have a fantastic boss. They respect my specific boundaries, I don't work overtime. I don't work weekends. I don't do anything or contact anyone for anything, nor do I ever want to be contacted about anything (beyond all staff info) outside of my 8-5 hours.
With all that said, it gets frustrating when my two co-workers get mad at me for just doing work. I do my work, I happily do their work to help them out, I don't ever complain. I am so tired of the snide “You do too much” or “You're too nice to patients, they are going to get spoiled” said as a joke, but seriously meant comments. I'm tried of my manager having to call me in and ask for my side of things because a co-worker got mad at me that I didn't drag a project that should take maybe an hour out all day and responded that I was done when she asked me where I was on it.
We don't have metrics where work is compared. We have x amount of work and our boss doesn't care how it gets done, or by who, just that it gets done. We are treated like adults who can divide the work amongst ourselves, and I like doing 75% of the work.
Like, I get the antiwork ideal and agree that everyone should be compensated fairly by their employer without being overworked, but leave me alone and let me be happy doing not only my work, but your work too. I'm happy to help, and it's none of my business what you do with your time. If you want to be on your phone all day then more power to you, I'm not your boss.
