A young female college student once said that some people will expend an extraordinary amount of energy to do as little work as possible!She understands me perfectly.
Interesting philosophy. With me and my colleagues having been constantly exposed to constant harassment from upper management for most of my career with slogans such as "We are busy beyond belief" and "We demand a lot from our employees" and asking us to work literally 124 hours a week in our company newsletter, I find this attitude quite refreshing. Go ahead and and do it if you can get away with it. I couldn't, but it would be nice to see someone who can.
However, I believe in equal opportunity for all, so others at your company should be able to do it as well.
From a former idealistic computer programmer analyst who had been manipulated far too long by a management that was built on deception, anger, and rage toward their employees. It feels good to vent. And now I am retired from there and am securely in my safe space. No one can touch me now. I'm free!
Sounds to me like it would be better to find something that you love instead of trying to work at getting out of work.
In Healthcare we have people that call in to get what is known as an Excused absence or EA. What happens on the clinical side is if the patient load is down staffing will call and see if anyone wants an EA. Many found that they could call in and place themselves on the EA list. I know of employees that do it often.
I keep asking myself: "If they don't want to work here, why not get a job some where else?"
I used to work with a guy who would leave a voice mail on the company phone at about 2:30 am saying he wasn't going to make it in. He played in a band and didn't get home until the bars closed. I guess he was calling in "Tired", not "Sick". He eventually got busted for meth use and no longer works for the company. BTW-He was a lousy employee by all accounts.
I personally do my best at work so I can't say I' agree with you. Someone pays me to do a job and therefore I do it well. Except for right now cause I'm on CD!!! LOL
