A recent Wall Street Journal article — an actual article, in the workplace/lifestyle section, not even an op-ed! — laments the recent trend of horrible, lazy workers who, umm … *checks notes* … tak…
The American Corporate Culture is so beyond toxic. Imagine feeling so entitled to other’s LIVES that they lament people taking paid days that are part of their compensation package. Days that are OWED to them. Pay that’s OWED to them. “Oh woe is me, my employees aren’t devoting their every waking moment to increasing the company’s profits & my bonuses”.
Do the bare minimum. Take ALL of you time off. Be a mercenary about your compensation. Show zero loyalty zero allegiance. Corporate America doesn’t give a fuck about you. Your politicians don’t give a fuck about you. Piss, shit, eat, shop, pay your bills, etc on company time. Never go on company outings unless you are paid to. Take your life back and feel zero guilt or shame. These people do not value you as a person and they do not value your life’s experience.
Fuck Them.
[edit] Don’t be shoddy, do what you’re paid to do and if you sign off on it everyone should be able to depend on your work without a 2nd glance. Don’t be a shitbrick.
I’d say work to your compensation, not the bare minimum. Bare minimum is what you do when you make bare minimum.
But- do take all your compensation. Time or money, its yours, you earned it.
I busted ass at my first two jobs and never got raises to match so I walked into my current one with a different mindset. I do only what’s asked of me and nothing more unless I think it’ll fun. When it’s not, I tell them to talk to my boss to get it on my calendar. It’s so much easier to avoid mistakes when you’re not stressed out from overwork.
It’s incredible. I wish I would have thought to do this 15 years ago.
The issue with the do the bare minimum attitude is it’ll end up hurting you more than them.
Do good work, be reliable, and take the time you’ve accrued/are given. This type of person is above average these days. Only incompetent managers have an issue with that.

Apparently the WSJ is incompetent.
