Agreed. You gotta show people the same level of respect they give you. The paycheck is earned and same goes for your time and effort. This isn't a one way street, so unless the employer is invested in you then you're under no obligation to give more than your due diligence. This was my mindset managing as well as when I had a few guys working for me. There's no room for unrequited love type of bs in a work environment.I remind all my friends and my wife to be ruthless with their employers unless they have stake in the company, commission bonuses or other incentives to actually work hard. Your coworkers and bosses aren't your friends. If you died, you'd be replaced within a week. Use and abuse your employers lol.
I had a boss tell me, all magnanimous like, he'd "give me" my requested time off. At the same time he'd tell us to go home once already on site if there wasn't enough work to go around. Fair enough, but if you're gonna deprive me of $ at the drop of the hat, then I'll take my scheduled time off whether you'll "give it to me" or not. Lol
