At work, you're better off being a procrastinator or just generally slow. If you're fast and reactive, you'll be called lazy when you're sitting there with nothing left to do 😤

Just experienced this, was blown away. Thought productivity would be rewarded

Your time is their money. Capitalism is powerful because you live on the scraps of what you make while giving most everything to the person that tells you to make it. Not sure how anyone who collects payments from customers for repairs or installations, can remain sane after seeing that they're billed out for at least 10x what they get compensated.

Yes, rewarded with more work.

Efficient workers are punished with more work.

"You're such a great employee! We'll reward you by giving your more training so you can do more complicated stuff while being paid the same salary!"

Yeah, I'm moving out of my current department because people doing the same job I am in other departments are paid more than me, but my current manager swears that he's been working very hard to get us the same conditions as other departments!
