Good results at work should be celebrated, not punished.
But sometoxic bossesreward efficiency with even more work.
Research shows that your average employee isonly productivefor 3 hours per day.
Check out the full story below.
Youll find our interview with them below.
Some hard-working employees are incredibly efficient and get great results.
However, there are two issues here.
After a certain point, theyre unproductive and need rest.
Especially where creative work is concerned.
Secondly, you have to consider what the tangible rewards for taking on additional work are.
Is it a better salary and better career prospects?
Or is it justmore work, vague praise, and the promises of a promotion in five years time?
Look, were not saying that hard work or extra effort isnt valuable.
Meanwhile, you’re gonna wanna prioritize your own welfare.
You want to avoid burnout as much as possible.
But thats hard to do if management is hellbent on getting results and lacks empathy.
Over half admitted that this has happened more than once.
A Future Forum reportfound that42% of 10,243 global workers reported burnout in February 2023.
Flexibility (or rather a lack of it) has a lot to do with this.
91% of 18 to 24-year-olds were stressed, compared to the average of 84%.
Maybe its as simple as if a worker isnt working then a manager isnt managing.
Share pay and salary numbers with other workers.
Never work more than youre paid to work.
Dont be shamed or guilted into doing extra, they advised.
If management expects more work from you than the time allotted, ask why.
Why didnt they hire more workers?
Why didnt they manage better?
Why didnt they reduce the scope?
Why didnt they extend the deadline?
Why havent they provided you better training?
Redditor u/68Cadillac shared another experience that shows their former workplaces philosophy on management.
The author once again stressed the importance of unionizing.
Working long hours doesnt always give the best results.
The rest of the time is spent on work distractions.
According to the survey, employees spent around 25 minutes preparing and eating snacks and making tea.
18 minutes were spent, on average, calling ones partners and friends.
Meanwhile, your average employee also spent 26 minutesyoull never guess!looking for a new job.
Many people are very good at working more efficiently than they let on in public.
Work satisfaction would probably skyrocket if good results were actually rewarded!)
How do you deal with situations where someone tries to burden you withovertimeand busywork?
The story made quite an impact on the online community.
Heres what some readers had to say about poor management
