[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Hard to manage" = we set boundaries and don't let managers or work encroach on our personal lives.

I get 60 minutes for lunch. I'm not pausing my lunch to do one quick thing for you. I will do one quick thing for you in 37 minutes when my lunch hour ends.

If you want me to log on for 1 hour each day during my PTO to triage my emails, then I will require that 1 hour of PTO back into my bank of hours, otherwise, I will check all emails when I'm back from time off.

My work day begins at 8 am and ends at 5 pm. Yes, I will always decline any meeting invite sent where the meeting start time is after my ending time. There's no "just this once" on my end if there's no "just this once" on your end...meaning, I won't stay later just this once if you will never approve me coming in later just this once. "I can't allow you to start at 9 am. I'd have to allow others to set their own hours." Ok, well then, I can't allow you to have any of my time after my 5 pm quitting time.

We also don't allow you to fire 2 people and dump their work on us without some kind of additional compensation.

Good luck peaking in your current position.[/quote]

I work with millennials and some Gen Z and see this attitude a lot. It’s very odd to me, as I’ve operated with the idea that you do what you have to do, especially at the beginning, until you can do what you want to do.

Im not even certain that I work that much harder than any of them. Hour for hour I definitely don’t.

But I do make it a point to be visible and to make sure I can be counted on for the big stuff . Even if it means I might have to cancel the planned day off or stay later than my “hours”.

When my colleagues start complaining/comparing salaries and bonuses. I keep quiet because my “dedication” for being easy and available when the sh@t hits the fan is noticed and rewarded handsomely.

And no one complains about what time
I start my day because put effort into making sire that I’m there at the end zone, regardless of time, when a project is completed. [/quote]
