A completely inflexible person.
Someone who isn't willing to be taken advantage of.
Someone who thinks helping out with something is "being taken advantage of"
Someone with a persecution complex.
Professional victim.
The type of person called their mom hitler growing up because she told you to clean your room.
Someone who thinks that working off the clock is "helping out with something."
I'm a bit embarrassed...I thought you were talking to me and the point I was making.
So what else did the strawman say that you want to get mad about?
I thought constructing strawmen was what we were doing.
Every description I gave was for the type of person who would say "that's not in my job description" if a coworker asked to help them with a task.
You know, the specific example I've been talking about in this entire comment chain?
Don't show up in my replies arguing against a point I'm not making and then act like I'm the one off base.
And the description I gave was of the type of employer who doesn't respect the boundaries of his employees.
And uses their "attitude" as an excuse.
You see why that's a strawman, right? I'm not talking about employers asking people to stay late. I'm talking about coworkers who say "training isn't in my job description" when you ask them to show you how to do something.
And I'm talking about employers because they're the ones who consider themselves entitled to ignore employee protections.
Yeah, so...this whole comment chain is about how people like that make shitty coworkers. You don't get to switch it up, exaggerate, and be like "well actually I was talking about this other thing the whole time"
Catch you in another thread, I think we're good here
Thread started with talking about a job interview.
Acting their wage.
Helping out your coworkers on a one-off thing is just a thing normal people do. People like you are insufferable
People who live to work are insufferable. People who set work/life boundaries are not.
Your replies make me think you've never had a job with coworkers. You're so caught up in the anti-capitalist mindset and apparently don't realize there's a HUMAN BEING struggling.
Just let someone struggle for an hour instead of taking 2 minutes to help. That's how we do things here on the left, right?
Get a grip, man. Join us in the real world.
How do you know I don’t help coworkers? You’re blindly jumping to conclusions because I won’t let my job take advantage of me.
I never said anything about coworkers.
Forgive me, I thought you were the guy I've been arguing with who has been throwing insults toward people willing to help.
But still, saying no to helping a coworker for 2 minutes is not the same thing as setting a work/life boundary in the slightest. No one in this thread is arguing for overtime.
