Fuck work, blah blah blah, all the rest. Here is the thread for those of us who couldn't care fucking less about the miserable world that is employment.


My own repetoire;

• Rarely on time from discrepancies of 5-10 minutes to an hour and a half.
• Complete disregard for procedure in the workplace ie; no monthly stock count for like 4+ months now
• Complete lack of enthusiasm ie; on my phone 75% of the work day.
• Does not adhere to dress standards
• Takes so many sick days I have a reputation.

So, how fucking much do you not care? To the point where you may be borderlining on getting fired? If not, I win at this.

I'm a good employee, one of the guys I work with not so much.

He does the following:

- Rocks up half an hour to an hour late everyday, he record is 3 hours.
- Regularly gets drunk during work hours.
- Steals his lunch emost days.
- One time he went home halfway through the day to buy beer and get some weed then got baked and came back to work.
- Has ~8 Smoke breaks a day.
- If he's had a big night out he'll nap in the disabled toilets for an hour or so.
- If he's bored he'll nap in the disabled toilets for an hour or so.
- If his manager isn't there he does no work at all, just browses the web.
- Made one of the girls stay back and keep the work bar open until 8:30pm so he could get drunk.
- Drunkenly yelled at the head of IT for not giving him a proper computer.

I'll remember more probably.

He's not even close to being fired though.

Thats why he's heavily in debt struggles with money sucks at life and probably will be jobless in 6 months with little to no refrences. Work Ethic does effect your all round happiness and lifestyle.


Anyways, People know i would go to work with a broken leg, all my line Managers Really like me, Only had one dispute with a manager ever and if i ever wanted the day off i've explained and managed to swap shifts. I've been pushed around a little bit in the past however i've always accepted more responcibility and gone out of my way to help guys knowing if i did it they'll look after me

I was like that working at Dick Smith, did a month straight open to close 7 days a week. Then come when they are looking for a new store manager they said I was not qualified, then a year later new manager was needed again.

Was told I was not qualified again, yet I had trained a 2ic from the ground up, trained the casuals up. My boss knew I had enough cause I was calling in sick after a night on the town. Not doing much around the store.

So they fired me for using my staff discount card for friends, to be honest I am glad, now I can not work at a Woolies chain ever.
Cut off a limb and two more shall take its place. HEIL HYDRA!

You guys have a bar at work... don't you work at a bank? O__o?

The greatest work ethic I've ever seen was represented by Mike's Dad. He is the head of a disposal company in the Middle-East that is highly widespread throughout the island. He'll go in despite sickness, days off, even coming back one week earlier from his first ever Australian holiday because the company was concerned with the rioting and problems they were having disrupting business as usual (and they had another son over there. =P). Mike saw a video of the streets around the area of his Dad's office building, he called and asked him whether he was aware and was at work still and ... you bet he was... :P

From what I've been told, Mike's Dad started off in the career of waste disposal as a garbage man well over a decade or two ago. Now he runs a major company. A paid for three-story house in Bahrain, "business" trips (i.e. grease to spin the wheels of a deal) in Japan and other fine locations. When I was over there during Christmas he was always coming back with "little gifts" of fine alcohol he had received from work. You can tell he's a man of perseverance and dedication.

The worst ethic I've seen? None that I can really think of.... although I used to have a work friend at IGA who stole one of those cheese palette mixes. :P I guess I haven't been in the working world very much. ^_^

More like how awesome! I wish I had a bar at work, but that'd be totally... wrong.

I like my job, but I get pissed off when no matter how hard you work, you don't get recognised. I've been asking my company for a full-time job for three years and yet I'm still classed as "casual relief". Sometimes it makes me slacker, but in the end I figure my job is about the children, not me. So really, I love my job and (most of the time) do the very best I can.

We have a few slacker members, but there's not a lot you can get away with.

^ what do you do? ^

I have no work ethic but wanting to get along with the people I work with motivates me a bit. I do as little as possible without pissing people off. Especially with working in cafes and stuff, the owners are trying to get the most possible work out of you while paying as little as possible. If you're too nice, they take advantage of it. On the other hand, if you're too slack, you're just creating more work for other people who are in the same position so you gotta balance it.

Pretty much, while you spend quite a bit of your day with the guys you want to keep it civil.

As much as I hate working, I'm a good worker and I really hate slackers. It's almost like I'm a different person at work. I never take a sick day unless I've either lost a limb or physically can't get up. Anything else can be fixed with pills. I've gone to work while dog tired, crippling period pain, throbbing headache or terrible cold. Then you get people who whine and take days off coz they've got a little cold. Princesses need to harden the fuck up.

If I'm sick I don't go to work. Fuck it. The sooner I get a chance to sleep it off, the sooner I get better.
