Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss

  If your employer is paying you the bare minimum, then you’re the sucker if you’re putting in more than the bare minimum of effort.

  Sure, if you work really hard you might get some recognition in the form of a thank you and perhaps a gift worth less than $50. If you do it for long enough you might get a promotion and a pay rise - but you’ll still be earning far less than the person they hired from outside to do the same job and you’ll have worked much harder for it.

  In most companies, 99% of the benefit from you working hard goes to the owners. They don’t give you any more than 1% because they don’t have to.
