Quirky-Boss-618 on April 28, 2026 1:29 pm We know how 99% people get promoted, we just don’t say it out loud.
Zenumbral on April 28, 2026 1:47 pm I’ve gotten 3 raises since I started and I get to go to an expensive spa once a month. Oh, and get to play a hand in company policy changes. …. I’m pretty sure I disagree with this meme.
HumbleFruit4201 on April 28, 2026 1:50 pm This was me at the beginning of my career. Five years later, I hide out in my lab all day and leave out the back as soon as my work is done. I always meet or exceed expectations.
rosyboys_daisygirls on April 28, 2026 1:54 pm i have a supervisor that actually got written up for skipping his break lol. He only takes breaks when the gm is around
Time_Blacksmith861 on April 28, 2026 2:01 pm What if I’m working hard to be unreplacable given my current position?
BreadfruitOk6160 on April 28, 2026 2:05 pm I did it at this one new job, to keep up, until I learned what the fuck I was doing. Not trying to get promoted but trying not to get fired.
Drudgework on April 28, 2026 2:06 pm After 20 years on the job I now skip lunch and breaks to go home early.

They’ll learn. They always learn.

Wait till they realize the reward is just more work

Every noob made this mistake

Depends on the job.

You’re mistaken. I do that so I can go home earlier.
Ehh I skip my breaks but leave early instead
Min wage worker mentality lol
Working hard doesn’t get you more money, it gets you more work.
