Kind of makes me want to work for commission. More work done, more money received. If I work with someone else, my name goes on the project and I get a portion of their commission. You slack off and need help, you get your base rate and you get only part of the project's commission. Or everyone can just be competent and do their own work, and when projects fall behind we know who needs further training so they can actually go solo.
How many times have we heard the lie " you work hard and get noticed and get a raise and a promotion":..which is all bullshit. The reward for hard work is more work, trust me when I say there are some employers out there who wish the days of owning slaves.
Maybe you but not I. Everytime I got more work I got a $2-$3 raise. My pay went from $11.75-$26hr in 8 years from 2016 to now plus overtime 8hrs weekly which I don't mind as it's $39 an hour every hour over time. I don't do more work for nothing. I work in Sales Analytics and I'm my teams Senior member. I'm not even mad they won't promote me due to yearly raises, 401k and vacation. I only have a H.S Diploma also. So much for College degrees.

Oh god, the “multiple hats” speech. 🤦♂️ Followed by the “doing more with less” cliche. You can’t do more with less, Greg. You can only do less with less. That’s what less means.
That about sums it up - most companies don't care about what you actually produce, only what looks good on paper: what is actually produced by the employee is credited to the management and any failings (be they of the employee or of management) gets blamed on the lower ranks of the employees - the game is rigged, so why bother playing at all?
Yes.. At my job they say 'Pace yourself' I finally realized what they ACTUALLY meant when I got older...Space your work out , Dont work to quick. A lightbulb went on ' Everyone is just LOOKING busy'.
When you're young, you think that speed, accuracy, efficiency, and reliability are the keys to getting ahead. They you find out that the only thing those buy you is MORE WORK. Then you start noticing that the people getting ahead are the arse-kissers and goldbricks who can talk a good line of shyte but can't do anything. And they are ones who end up as your bosses.
I had a job and my coworkers were angry they said I was making thrm look bad, then after I ran out of chemistry samples to run, I started cleaning the lab, they complained I used up all the cleaning supplies. It seems they didn't clean before I came and save the supplies all year for decoration.
Had a temp job. People working at snail pace looking miserable. I followed example. Day 5 I went to the bathroom and leaned against the stall wall and accidentally fell asleep. 4 hours later lunch bathroom rush woke me. After lunch I worked at a normal pace instead of snail. End of day boss came and congratulated me on a productive day. Called temp agency from parking lot and told them I wouldn't be coming back and to find me a different gig.
@@silverhammer7779 When they may tell me to pace myself, I try to slow down, but that just makes me daydreamy and inattentive, so I make mistakes, which then takes longer than the slackers doing the job because I have to fix my stuff back to normal. If I go at my own quick pace, I can knock the job out at twice the speed of the other guys with perfect accuracy. One it looks like I don't know what I'm doing, the other I finish the work too fast so it looks like I'm slacking off when there's nothing for me to do. You can't win.
This has happened to me at the same job more times than I can remember, and the ones who always need help not only get paid more, they get promoted faster. They'd probably finish their tasks if they weren't busy networking for half of their shift.
Yes, but NEVER admit to this to anyone at your workplace. They're not your friends, they might tell the colleague whose job you're doing or even the boss. Never assume colleagues are friends.

I'm pretty sure he works an amount you would normally need AT LEAST two people for, maybe even more. But he is bad at saying no.☹️ And obviously he doesn't get payed for two people.

Work as a grocery stocker and they want us to do 2-3 peoples jobs but faster than it takes to do one persons so they can send us home halfway through our (hourly paid) shift. 🙄 Nope,I’m taking my time bc I can barely pay bills as it is.

Had a night shift job as a janitor. It would take me most of the shift to do my work but at the end, I would be done with everything 2 hours before the morning crew came in. Asked if I could leave early and they kept telling me no, so I slowed down and started to watch a show for an hour while hiding on the toilet. People would complain when I use to work the floor that janitors don't do anything, realized not doing anything made people think I was doing things cause I was hard at work when they came in.
Been there many times. I quit a job where I was the only paralegal in the Legal department. The boss treated me and everyone else in the department like garbage. After I left they had to replace me with 2 full time and 1 part-time paralegals. Idiots.
I worked at Best buy for 12 years Yes I know Best buy for 12 years I got raises totaling $0.50 in 12 years not 50 cents a year I was complacent I work for another place now after 6 years I'm making more than double what I was making at Best buy It wasn't about the money but the money helps lol
That's some crazy loyalty you have there bc after my second under .50 raise 6months-1yr in I would've been looking for a new job...I waste no time letting jobs know I will leave. -- Even Home Depot/Lowe's does .50-.75 raises like 2x/yr and they have $500 bonus during the holidays.
You’re way too dead on 😂 My poor mum is exactly in this situation… but they don’t even pretend to "appreciate " her hard work. Bless their hearts, what will they do when she leaves ?
So I just work PT. I don't need FT anymore because people call TF out so often that I end up with almost FT hours. I can accept or decline. I usually decline bc I am PT... PT employees usually make more money per hour than a full timer btw :) I just take the extra hours I want and the company can figure the rest out while their employees constantly call out :)
I had this discussion with my manager & his response was that we are all in the same team & that the work needs to get done regardless of whom does it. So by not being a "Team player" the whole team will suffer at the end of the month because targets were not met as a result, there will be no commissions paid.
A team & teamwork means EVERYONE pulls their weight & contributes the same as their peers. If they're not doing that, then those are the people who are not team players & don't deserve any rewards. They are the ones letting down the team. It's not the job of one person to pull their own weight as well as that of other people. If someone isn't meeting the minimum requirements for the job then you need to either figure how to get them there (without giving them credit for someone else doing their work) or you need to remove them from the team.
I stopped working as hard as I did because they were taking advantage of me. I came in and made supervisor in less than a year of being with a company. There are people I work with that have been with the company for years more than me, don't do a third of what I put in, don't know a third of what I learn and know but are getting paid more. My phrase is "I ran out of time and couldn't get to it, sorry". I've flat out had to tell my boss I wasn't doing other people's work.
I have a coworker similar to Jenny. I've just stopping helping him on most tasks where I've either explained and showed him several times or straight up did it for him. The mental stress of doing something over and over again and no one seems to learn anything as well as the physical work of doing extra tasks in the same time.... What's the point of "helping him" in addition to my tasks. I might as well just do him and my's work, while you leave me alone and don't bother me with how long I'm taking.
I know so many people who pride themselves on getting things done fast, and they never realize they just get more work assigned while the executives get huge bonuses.
This happened to my sister and associates at her job. Someone got behind in their work and didn't ask for help so when the uppers found out it fell on them. Not fair!
Yeah I’m surprised the boss didn’t have something to say like “You aren’t finished yet?!” They’ll want to know why after the second time you go above and beyond. They even bully people with potential who are new to a position. Do what you can within the allotted time frame of each task and don’t let someone mess with your outside time. They are always trying to mess with your advancement.
I literally just came off a contract like this except without the recognition or appreciation from the manager, mainly the people making twice what I was.
Ooof, this one hits home with me. Ive always been that person finishing early and helping others, but fortunately i finally found a leader that really does appreciate the talents i provide. They advocate for more pay and benefits on the regular as long as i continue performing.
*Something else I've always noticed, single people are always asked to work overtime. In any work environment I've ever been in, single people, especially those without children, are the most put-upon. Bosses assume single people are ALWAYS available. I've always worked in creative fields. I'm so glad I've been freelancing for many years. I could never go back to stifling work environments. Not to mention, being watched over and micro-managed, especially while working in a creative field, is ridiculous. No one can be forced to create on demand! It's especially ridiculous when a manager isn't even clear exactly what they want. I've also noticed, the so-called 'bosses' know even less than their workers!*
Years ago when I did office work, I would notice there was a person who is always incompetent and needed "help" from others. After awhile you realize the scam. "I'll just do poor/slow work (or screw up altogether) and let other people finish the job, I'll still get paid and not stress myself." It worked for them every time. Go figure.🤨 Don't fall for it, and call it out for what it is.
Employers are sh*t. I need to help another worker that makes around $39 because they run behind because all they do is talk and kiss 4ss all day. I only make $23.
Even when you get paid by the hour, and you do the work of people paid less than you for your pay...it still sucks like hell. And the bosses think you aint shit, until they cant even do what youve been doing for 15 minutes without saying the work conditions are unbearable and then they arrange everything like it should be for safe and fair working conditions......but just fir themselves. As soon as they no longer have to do the jobs they been making everyone else do, then its "we no longer can spare all that effort for those working conditions." Fuckin warehouse foremen and superintendents
Show appreciation with money. Not only it's the most respectful thing to do, it's fair and will get that "it's not going unnoticed thing" to make all the sense it's supposed to make.
I still do my work faster and don't get paid more. I am to a point to where I don't volunteer for more work anymore. It has gotten me nowhere except being told I get introduced to upper management because I am white.
This happened at my job and when the position opened i was promoted to team lead(as i was already doing the job). Then again when the management position opened i was promoted to that job. However, i am in an engineering role, so its possible my experience is not the same for lower skilled labor. It doesnt matter to me what i do at work so long as the price is right and my checks clear
If they can’t give a pay rise to people that do more than their fair share, they should give perks like letting them go home early sometimes. Incentivise efficiency.
How is it that management more often than not seems to have people in leadership roles that could not understand what leadership is if it was tattooed to their forearms and required for them to read it hourly?
I’ve experienced this…lady there for 10+ years more than me asking everyone for help for minimal work. Then being irate when she would have to come back from her PTO because she expected her work to be done while out. Lol the audacity
They always tell you it is appreciated - never back it up with money
And act like you are crazy that you would bring up the notion of money when being asked to do more work
🙌
Kind of makes me want to work for commission. More work done, more money received.
If I work with someone else, my name goes on the project and I get a portion of their commission. You slack off and need help, you get your base rate and you get only part of the project's commission.
Or everyone can just be competent and do their own work, and when projects fall behind we know who needs further training so they can actually go solo.

This is called quiet quitting. Lots of employees are doing that now because there is a lack of recognition for going the extra mile. Sad but true.

The worst offenders of this is the government. This was me. I finally got fed up and left.
Had a night shift job as a janitor. It would take me most of the shift to do my work but at the end, I would be done with everything 2 hours before the morning crew came in.
Asked if I could leave early and they kept telling me no, so I slowed down and started to watch a show for an hour while hiding on the toilet.
People would complain when I use to work the floor that janitors don't do anything, realized not doing anything made people think I was doing things cause I was hard at work when they came in.
Been there many times. I quit a job where I was the only paralegal in the Legal department. The boss treated me and everyone else in the department like garbage. After I left they had to replace me with 2 full time and 1 part-time paralegals. Idiots.
I worked at Best buy for 12 years Yes I know Best buy for 12 years I got raises totaling $0.50 in 12 years not 50 cents a year I was complacent I work for another place now after 6 years I'm making more than double what I was making at Best buy It wasn't about the money but the money helps lol
That's some crazy loyalty you have there bc after my second under .50 raise 6months-1yr in I would've been looking for a new job...I waste no time letting jobs know I will leave. -- Even Home Depot/Lowe's does .50-.75 raises like 2x/yr and they have $500 bonus during the holidays.
@@LaShaynaMonique It was only meant to be a part-time job for 6 months then years later I was full-time and the rest is history lol
If you want me to do someone else's job in addition to mine, you need to give me their paycheck.
I've always said that if you want me to help someone else do there job you need to give me some of their pay.
You’re way too dead on 😂
My poor mum is exactly in this situation… but they don’t even pretend to "appreciate " her hard work. Bless their hearts, what will they do when she leaves ?
Then they might try to bribe her with actual salary increase or gaslight the sh#t out of here for not being part of "the family".
So I just work PT. I don't need FT anymore because people call TF out so often that I end up with almost FT hours. I can accept or decline. I usually decline bc I am PT... PT employees usually make more money per hour than a full timer btw :) I just take the extra hours I want and the company can figure the rest out while their employees constantly call out :)
Been there. Been there. Been there.
I had this discussion with my manager & his response was that we are all in the same team & that the work needs to get done regardless of whom does it. So by not being a "Team player" the whole team will suffer at the end of the month because targets were not met as a result, there will be no commissions paid.
It should never be on one person's shoulders. That's bad management and demoralizing for the worker who always delivers.
A team & teamwork means EVERYONE pulls their weight & contributes the same as their peers. If they're not doing that, then those are the people who are not team players & don't deserve any rewards. They are the ones letting down the team. It's not the job of one person to pull their own weight as well as that of other people. If someone isn't meeting the minimum requirements for the job then you need to either figure how to get them there (without giving them credit for someone else doing their work) or you need to remove them from the team.
Reply is "well, looks like no more commissions then"
I stopped working as hard as I did because they were taking advantage of me. I came in and made supervisor in less than a year of being with a company. There are people I work with that have been with the company for years more than me, don't do a third of what I put in, don't know a third of what I learn and know but are getting paid more. My phrase is "I ran out of time and couldn't get to it, sorry". I've flat out had to tell my boss I wasn't doing other people's work.
I have a coworker similar to Jenny.
I've just stopping helping him on most tasks where I've either explained and showed him several times or straight up did it for him. The mental stress of doing something over and over again and no one seems to learn anything as well as the physical work of doing extra tasks in the same time....
What's the point of "helping him" in addition to my tasks. I might as well just do him and my's work, while you leave me alone and don't bother me with how long I'm taking.
Tell em’ like it is Veronica.
Why are managers like this!! 😢 I'm in Africa, and its the same where I work! What do those management schools teach them?
Performance Punishment
Is there another channel with similiar content, voice and characters?
This happens when companies get too big.
Veronica is my hero.
I work there too.
I'm not going to do my work and her work, too! I only get one paycheck!
I know so many people who pride themselves on getting things done fast, and they never realize they just get more work assigned while the executives get huge bonuses.
There is much corruption in each company. This is why laws and mandatory external inspections are needed.
This happened to my sister and associates at her job. Someone got behind in their work and didn't ask for help so when the uppers found out it fell on them. Not fair!
I keep waiting for Veronica to cuss someone out in Spanish 😂
Yeah I’m surprised the boss didn’t have something to say like “You aren’t finished yet?!” They’ll want to know why after the second time you go above and beyond. They even bully people with potential who are new to a position. Do what you can within the allotted time frame of each task and don’t let someone mess with your outside time. They are always trying to mess with your advancement.
I literally just came off a contract like this except without the recognition or appreciation from the manager, mainly the people making twice what I was.
Ooof, this one hits home with me. Ive always been that person finishing early and helping others, but fortunately i finally found a leader that really does appreciate the talents i provide.
They advocate for more pay and benefits on the regular as long as i continue performing.
been there, done that.. & done with that! ❤😂
Tohle mi připomíná tolik situaci v životě…
A tolik zmrdů, co snažilo využít moji efektivity…
So true. The more competent you are, the more you'll be taken advantage of.
*Something else I've always noticed, single people are always asked to work overtime. In any work environment I've ever been in, single people, especially those without children, are the most put-upon. Bosses assume single people are ALWAYS available. I've always worked in creative fields. I'm so glad I've been freelancing for many years. I could never go back to stifling work environments. Not to mention, being watched over and micro-managed, especially while working in a creative field, is ridiculous. No one can be forced to create on demand! It's especially ridiculous when a manager isn't even clear exactly what they want. I've also noticed, the so-called 'bosses' know even less than their workers!*
Years ago when I did office work, I would notice there was a person who is always incompetent and needed "help" from others. After awhile you realize the scam. "I'll just do poor/slow work (or screw up altogether) and let other people finish the job, I'll still get paid and not stress myself."
It worked for them every time. Go figure.🤨
Don't fall for it, and call it out for what it is.
Pace yourself from the beginning. Please people only when you are 100% sure it will benefit you. If she starts slowing down now, they will punish her.
I learned quickly on that nonsense! Can you say drag everything out just like every other employee?
Employers are sh*t. I need to help another worker that makes around $39 because they run behind because all they do is talk and kiss 4ss all day. I only make $23.
Even when you get paid by the hour, and you do the work of people paid less than you for your pay...it still sucks like hell. And the bosses think you aint shit, until they cant even do what youve been doing for 15 minutes without saying the work conditions are unbearable and then they arrange everything like it should be for safe and fair working conditions......but just fir themselves. As soon as they no longer have to do the jobs they been making everyone else do, then its "we no longer can spare all that effort for those working conditions." Fuckin warehouse foremen and superintendents
Show appreciation with money. Not only it's the most respectful thing to do, it's fair and will get that "it's not going unnoticed thing" to make all the sense it's supposed to make.
And it motivates others to do better
You know, I started just doing MY duties. I have a lot more idle time at work. 😊
I still do my work faster and don't get paid more. I am to a point to where I don't volunteer for more work anymore. It has gotten me nowhere except being told I get introduced to upper management because I am white.
This happened at my job and when the position opened i was promoted to team lead(as i was already doing the job). Then again when the management position opened i was promoted to that job.
However, i am in an engineering role, so its possible my experience is not the same for lower skilled labor. It doesnt matter to me what i do at work so long as the price is right and my checks clear
If they can’t give a pay rise to people that do more than their fair share, they should give perks like letting them go home early sometimes. Incentivise efficiency.
I like all of these. Keep them coming.
Yes! They are very encouraging. I like that it's not people doing skits, but instead, stick figures. The message clearly gets acros.m
Girl I lived that life for too long.
Veronica, next time make them email these requests. Just in case.
How is it that management more often than not seems to have people in leadership roles that could not understand what leadership is if it was tattooed to their forearms and required for them to read it hourly?
It's the American way...!
😂Yes Veronica 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Burrnnn! Companies will never stop doing this--glad she spoke up
I only work for compensation.
I’ve experienced this…lady there for 10+ years more than me asking everyone for help for minimal work. Then being irate when she would have to come back from her PTO because she expected her work to be done while out. Lol the audacity
True story, repeat, repeat, repeat....
Culture of laziness.
I know u right 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love this!
😂😂😂
