[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 819085, member: 31608"] This just happens to have been on my mind lately, so excuse me for the somewhat OT ... I have this attitude myself, and it actually has gotten to the point where I am somewhat ostracized from those I work with - not to mention the entire unload crew thinks I smooch keister. I try and explain myself by saying pretty much that "UPS hired me, I'm not doing them a favor by working for them", so on and so forth - but what does it say about the attitude of the average worker (at least, around these parts) that I have to explain why I show up on time and work hard every day anyway? I've had people actually tell me things to the effect of, 'Hey, quit working so hard.' As a result of this attitude, management at the building likes the work I do and they move me around from time to time and they don't rag on me constantly if I make a mistake because ... *gasp* ... I have a track record of working hard and not making mistakes. I could go on, but I've said enough - just seemed like a convenient place to vent. End off-topic blathering. [/QUOTE]
