Working Hard really doesn't pay off in the workplace

[SuperDemocrat]

It has been my experience in life that working hard doesn't really pay off that much. The raises you get are not that much for the effort you put out to get one sometimes so I figure what is the point of all that hard work. Don't get me wrong. One should definitely work hard towards the goals they have in life because sometimes it is the only thing one can do in life but in work it rarely does. The amount of energy you put in usually doesn't equal the amount you get back in pay.

What does pay off is 'kissing ass'. I'm going to say this just once. Kissing ass works way better than working hard. Your bosses will think you are an awesome person because you say something nice to them. It is a little humiliating to but it works. You don't have to go overboard with it but it does work. It would be nice to live in a world where work alone will determine your success in the workplace but all your hard work will not pay off if YOUR BOSS HATES YOUR GUTS!

There is nothing in the world you can do at that point because your boss will never give you a break on anything. You may think your supervisor like you but they are playing the same game with you that you with them which is you pretend to be nice to everyone so your work thinks you are a team player. They won't say whether or not they hate you or not just like they won't say that to you so don't fool yourself into thinking that they like you because they happen to greet you when you come into work. Don't you do the same with employees that you don't like?

Your boss could be prejudice against you. I'm not talking about the race, religion, sexual orientation, etc, etc, but she could really hate short ugly men. Maybe your hair was messed up one day or you happen to have bad BO. It is all pretty superficial but it is f'n true. Human nature is pretty superficial. It is the reason we don't go outside in our underwear. We don't want other people to think we are retarded because we happen to go outside in the most efficient clothing style for how weather (maximizing skin surface area to cool you off).

Some people can look pass the superficialness and see the real you. Isn't it wonderful that those people exist? They don't exist at work. In fact, being judged by totally superficial standards seems to increase ten fold at work. A college degree gets you into higher places but people with college degrees can be pretty stupid sometimes as highlighted by videos where college graduates didn't know who christopher columbus is (they know who Karl Marx is though).

Lets not forget what your fellow co-workers will say about you. They hate you too! I'm not fucking kidding on this. They hate you as well and won't tell you. When you are about to get fired they will know and then they will unleash all the hate they wanted to unleash on you at that point. It then snowballs because they tell other people how much you suck as human being. They minute you say anything bad about them they accuse you of engaging in rumors. What the fuck have they been doing for the last five years with your life?

That is another thing. God damn hypocrisy of other human beings just seems rather unfair. They can rip into you 24/7 but the minute you say anything about them then they cry foul to the HR department. They are always the fuckin victim of you the minute you do the same shit they have been doing to you. Don't even bother hoping that HR will solve your issues in your favor. Don't waste your time. Occassionally you might run into one that really does help you but that is only because they are gay and they like you or you happen to be a hot babe that he wants to screw.

That is the only way you get anything special from your supervisor. The rule of thumb is hope you have a gay supervisor or you are a super hot chick. Then you get anything you ever want from them. Don't work hard just be sexy and the whole world will come to you because of universal law number 1 of human nature which is everyone wants to screw.

With an attitude like that,no wonder you look to blame your employer,your defeating yourself before you even get started.

I've worked at plenty of work places where this is true.

I've also worked at some where this is NOT true.

Smaller organizations tend to be better in my experience.

Try to not let it get you down.

Look to work the system or for places with less bad systems.

 

[WinterBorn]

In the short term this is often true. People who get a lot done tend to get more work handed to them.

But in the long run the work often pays off.

Think bigger CO are better...raises come from Corp not the local tyrant.

Because it sounds like you are both lazy fucks. Plus, I don't believe that your supervisor likes you. He is probably scared of you and worries that you will snap at any time. Being that you are a government employee it is next to impossible to get rid of you, so he is stuck with that time bomb ticking in your head.

In most larger companies advancement isn't based on ability, it is based on favoritism. In the worst ones the VPs and middle managers simply view their position of authority to hire people as their license to hire family and friends into high paid jobs and ignore everyone else and what is best for the company. And at companies like this it is generally because the president or CEO is not concerned with such things and doesn't get involved in any of the internal company machinations on a daily basis. This allows a culture of corruption to totally engulf a company, where if you fight one manager you are in essence fighting all the management that protect him/her. Usually an entrenched middle management is subordinate to a few VPs who allows lower level managers to do what they want as long as the VP gets no negative blowback ON ANYTHING. At the most blatant companies you can use anti disciminatory laws to thwart some of this, but it is a hard fight. If a manager doesn't hire women, the law WILL assist you. Same with age discrimination. Of course the more savvy losers in management will hire one or two token employees so they can tell the state "see, I have this woman or this minority or this old person".

At some companies this isn't the case and they do actually want the most talented people to advance and thereby advance the company and increase the bottom line. But this is the exception.

The best thing to do is go straight to corporate and bypass ALL other management, including VPs and if possible, branch or regional presidents. Make a clear case to the main corporate with other people in your area also lending their voice. If corporate isn't really interested in managerial wrong-doing or they are corrupt themselves then the only option is going to state and federal agencies. There is no company that is more powerful than the government, and they know this. Once a government agency starts investigating the company will act because they don't want either the state, or worse, federal government to start investigating ALL of the operation. Which is generally what happens.

I'll add, they rely on instilling fear in people. Don't be afraid at all. The worst that can happen is you have to find another job, big deal. The worst thing that can happen for the company is FAR FAR greater. They know this as well. Be absolutely fearless.

The raises you get are not that much for the effort you put out to get one sometimes so I figure what is the point of all that hard work. Don't get me wrong. One should definitely work hard towards the goals they have in life because sometimes it is the only thing one can do in life but in work it rarely does.

You may think your supervisor like you but they are playing the same game with you that you with them which is you pretend to be nice to everyone so your work thinks you are a team player.

And at companies like this it is generally because the president or CEO is not concerned with such things and doesn't get involved in any of the internal company machinations on a daily basis. This allows a culture of corruption to totally engulf a company, where if you fight one manager you are in essence fighting all the management that protect him/her. Usually an entrenched middle management is subordinate to a few VPs who allows lower level managers to do what they want as long as the VP gets no negative blowback ON ANYTHING. At the most blatant companies you can use anti disciminatory laws to thwart some of this, but it is a hard fight. If a manager doesn't hire women, the law WILL assist you. Same with age discrimination. Of course the more savvy losers in management will hire one or two token employees so they can tell the state "see, I have this woman or this minority or this old person".

At some companies this isn't the case and they do actually want the most talented people to advance and thereby advance the company and increase the bottom line. But this is the exception.

The best thing to do is go straight to corporate and bypass ALL other management, including VPs and if possible, branch or regional presidents. Make a clear case to the main corporate with other people in your area also lending their voice. If corporate isn't really interested in managerial wrong-doing or they are corrupt themselves then the only option is going to state and federal agencies. There is no company that is more powerful than the government, and they know this. Once a government agency starts investigating the company will act because they don't want either the state, or worse, federal government to start investigating ALL of the operation. Which is generally what happens.

I'll add, they rely on instilling fear in people. Don't be afraid at all. The worst that can happen is you have to find another job, big deal. The worst thing that can happen for the company is FAR FAR greater. They know this as well. Be absolutely fearless.

That is exactly true about organizations that allow favoritism to be the rule. Managers begin to act like they are untouchable and they begin to suck really bad. In the end, ineffective management will bring down their bottomline and then and only then will they change how they do things.

It has been my experience in life that working hard doesn't really pay off that much. The raises you get are not that much for the effort you put out to get one sometimes so I figure what is the point of all that hard work. Don't get me wrong. One should definitely work hard towards the goals they have in life because sometimes it is the only thing one can do in life but in work it rarely does. The amount of energy you put in usually doesn't equal the amount you get back in p

What does pay off is 'kissing ass'. I'm going to say this just once. Kissing ass works way better than working hard. Your bosses will think you are an awesome person because you say something nice to them. It is a little humiliating to but it works. You don't have to go overboard with it but it does work. It would be nice to live in a world where work alone will determine your success in the workplace but all your hard work will not pay off if YOUR BOSS HATES YOUR GUTS!

There is nothing in the world you can do at that point because your boss will never give you a break on anything. You may think your supervisor like you but they are playing the same game with you that you with them which is you pretend to be nice to everyone so your work thinks you are a team player. They won't say whether or not they hate you or not just like they won't say that to you so don't fool yourself into thinking that they like you because they happen to greet you when you come into work. Don't you do the same with employees that you don't like?

Your boss could be prejudice against you. I'm not talking about the race, religion, sexual orientation, etc, etc, but she could really hate short ugly men. Maybe your hair was messed up one day or you happen to have bad BO. It is all pretty superficial but it is f'n true. Human nature is pretty superficial. It is the reason we don't go outside in our underwear. We don't want other people to think we are retarded because we happen to go outside in the most efficient clothing style for how weather (maximizing skin surface area to cool you off).

Some people can look pass the superficialness and see the real you. Isn't it wonderful that those people exist? They don't exist at work. In fact, being judged by totally superficial standards seems to increase ten fold at work. A college degree gets you into higher places but people with college degrees can be pretty stupid sometimes as highlighted by videos where college graduates didn't know who christopher columbus is (they know who Karl Marx is though).

Lets not forget what your fellow co-workers will say about you. They hate you too! I'm not fucking kidding on this. They hate you as well and won't tell you. When you are about to get fired they will know and then they will unleash all the hate they wanted to unleash on you at that point. It then snowballs because they tell other people how much you suck as human being. They minute you say anything bad about them they accuse you of engaging in rumors. What the fuck have they been doing for the last five years with your life?

That is another thing. God damn hypocrisy of other human beings just seems rather unfair. They can rip into you 24/7 but the minute you say anything about them then they cry foul to the HR department. They are always the fuckin victim of you the minute you do the same shit they have been doing to you. Don't even bother hoping that HR will solve your issues in your favor. Don't waste your time. Occassionally you might run into one that really does help you but that is only because they are gay and they like you or you happen to be a hot babe that he wants to screw.

That is the only way you get anything special from your supervisor. The rule of thumb is hope you have a gay supervisor or you are a super hot chick. Then you get anything you ever want from them. Don't work hard just be sexy and the whole world will come to you because of universal law number 1 of human nature which is everyone wants to screw.

With an attitude like that,no wonder you look to blame your employer,your defeating yourself before you even get started.

Plenty of people with bad attitudes get promoted so it isn't always about good or bad attitude. I agree with you that a good attitude does help out but it is more for yourself so you can keep on cutting through your shitty day.
