Might as well steal from them, with the tax rate the way it is my pay check isn't worth the time to bother anymore. I do just enough to get by because I don't get paid more to do more, if I did get paid more to do more I'd still cut even on payday because of taxes. Ultimately useless, waste of time, and pathetically pointless.

This message brought to you by; Elmo, if he can quit crack/meth/drinking/heroin/rufies...so can you.

With this attitude, why would anyone think you were worth more? I don't know where you work or what you do, but not very difficult for supervisors to spot those only doing the least to still get the check. Those are the employees who are "disposable". When things are slow, they are the first to be laid off. When things are going well they are the last for the bonuses and other rewards. With my employees, I give as good as I get.
Your attitude is self defeating, and shared by far too many. Just one reason China is kicking out butt. Thanks a lot, to all like you. (yes, that was meant sarcastically for those of you who didn't catch it).

Yep. I do it too.

I have no time or computer at work.

I dont mingle from work much anymore but i am today. I used to do it all the time. Sometimes i could spend maybe ten hours out of a twelve hour shift online, many times a week.

I see the point you make about it being akin to 'stealing', but do not entirely agree. My work is done, and i am here for a purpose, but without anything i really need to do. There are things i could be doing, its true, but in terms of doing what i am paid to do, i have done it all already.

But aside from all that. Who gives a crap? Most employees do not give a crap about their employees. Times get tough, staff get culled, and from what i have seen, in no real fair manner at all. My employer would bend me over the desk and screw me right up the butt if they wanted to, so im not going to reduce myself to a kiss arse and worry about whether my productivity levels could be higher or not.

I believe that if you read through what you posted, you might realize why your employers wouldn't "give a crap".
"There are things i could be doing, its true,"

Stop right there and make sure you realize what you wrote.


"but in terms of doing what i am paid to do, i have done it all already.

But aside from all that. Who gives a crap?"


Absorb that one too.

" Most employees do not give a crap about their employees."

I am guessing you meant employers don't care about employees. And, with the attitude you admitted to above, it does make you easily replaced.

" Times get tough, staff get culled, and from what i have seen, in no real fair manner at all."

Perhaps the deadwood go first, regardless of rank.

" My employer would bend me over the desk and screw me right up the butt if they wanted to,"

Why are you so sure of this, if you are essential personnel?

" so im not going to reduce myself to a kiss arse and worry about whether my productivity levels could be higher or not."

That just sounded like a self defeating excuse for not doing better. Nope, I wouldn't exactly give someone who was doing the bare minimum as the kind of employee I would keep over another if there was any culling to be done. Also, disrespect garners same.
Sorry, but about all I have read in here are a bunch of excuses and attempts at justification that fall flat. And yes, I do believe that this is the attitude that has caused our country to become less competitive in the world market. Also where that lie about illegals doing jobs no American would because they are too pampered, lazy, and consider themselves above it.

Been at my job for two years, I'm cutting them loose next month and moving out of this hell hole. You can say what you will but regardless of whether I moved up or not I would still get paid the same because of state taxes, your government burned this hole and if I have the chance to burn them back I will...without hesitation.

See what good math skills get you? The ability to percentage the tax increases into a yearly earnings, and the ability to add to the earnings and place the tax percentage into it as well. I go up and the taxes go up, Illinois dug a hole and I have to dig them out. Again, it is pointless, I am not standing to gain anything and more or less I'm losing more. More work, same pay, even more work, still the same pay.

Fact is, many people are easily replaced and many employers don't care much about their employees. Outsourcing is proof of this.

Oh man. I have a job where some days am around the most attractive women in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I can't give you many details about it. But, I can say it has to do with the entertainment industry t a pretty high level.

I don't flirt with any of the girls. I have been tempted to, but this is my job and I want to keep it. Sometimes it's hard (forgive the pun).

BECAUSE they only do the bare minimum, which makes them as worthless as a prostitute. You know the old saying, another one will be coming around the block any minute, and then around and around and around that block again LOL Deadwood, to me, is much like the lazy person who just wants to cheapen themself by laying on their back and pretending they are "earning" that pay (can you tell I really think whores are sick and disgusting ? LOL) IF you MAKE yourself as disposable as toilet paper, you will be disposed of, usually so the employer can afford to pay the REAL workers.

Tons of people who do their jobs well are getting laid off because of outsourcing. It has nothing to do with their ability to do their job well. It all has to do with money. In order to save money, employers are willing to outsource the jobs, not caring if the quality of work goes down.
