Your work ethic?

[Melkane]

I probably have a work ethic that pisses companies off....probably not the worst but close to it. I believe my ethic is logical if a bit negative...

I'm of the belief that I don't live to work, I work to live. Work is merely something I'm forced to do so I can earn money to afford to live and have the stuff I love and love to do. If I could get away with not working I really would. I've gotten laid off from jobs twice (companies closed down) and in each place I filed for unemployment and sat on my ass for months earning back the money I paid into while I took an "extended vacation" and worked on my video game playing. I don't believe in company loyalty as a company in reality has no loyalty to me. While at work I'm of the type of belief that I want to do whatever job I have to do, get it done and go the hell home, I'm not one that will ever volunteer to do extra as doing extra only eventually hurts me as they begin to expect it all the time. I also believe that you put in the work equal to what you are getting out. If I'm making $20/hr and have bene's then I'm going to bust my ass off for you. But if I'm making $7/hr with no bene's then I'm only going to give you my bare minimum.

If I had any less of a work ethic, I wouldn't be where I am now. I have a nice home that will be paid for in just a couple more years, I am a business owner and Master Technician. I work hard, I work a lot of long hours, and make a good living. I am not rich, just living comfortably.
Today was a 14 hour day, OTOH, I cleared around a grand.
You can work hard, and make a decent living, or you can sit on your ass, and almost get by.

My bosses all love me. It's important to show up on time every day, and once you're there just do what you're supposed to do in a reasonably efficient manner. It's really not that hard, but most people are so horrible at doing it consistently that it really gives you a huge advantage if you can follow those easy steps.

Depends on if I like what I'm doing. Worked for a flooring place, loved it, worked hard and came up from helper to contractor in two years. ($6.50/hr > $50/hr!!!)

Worked at a recycling center, had a dickhead boss, nasty, sweaty hard work. Quit in a week without notice. Just said f*#k it.

LOL

uh... $6.50/hr ----one week ---> $8/hr -------two years------>$50/hr

School does have money involved. When you get a car you get cheaper insurance. When you graduate you can get money for all kinds of shit. College isnt free

if you want to sit on your arse and do as little as possible dont expect a decent wage, you only get out of life what you put into it. i work my bollocks of for 5 1/2 days a week and my wages reflect that. i buy myself a new car every 2 years i have money in the bank and i allways have a good supply of weed.

[S.P.Q.R.]

Work is pretty important to me... I'm going to have to do it for the rest of my life, I might as well do it good instead of half-assed..

If you have to work, you might as well do it correct and neatly the first time.
