Because leadership changed. Leadership that used to applaud and reward hard work and going extra mile for the corporation.. no longer does so. They prefer to reap the extra work upwards. And then expect you to work extra from now on with the same salary while holding you as the "pedestal" to follow up, and thus cost cut other groups that are not as productive as you or simple fire someone else because you work for two persons for the same costs.

Oh, I didn't think you were calling me specifically selfish, just companies and the workers in general...like the attitude overall has changed in the last decade or so to be more selfish, that no one wants to do more than they have to. And I can sort of see that change in attitude, but I think the shift is more...not necessarily selfish, though for some it kind of expresses in that way, but just more towards standing up for oneself. I think decades ago, people felt like if they had a job, they shouldn't rock the boat, and they felt obligated to do whatever the boss wanted, even if it was beyond the confines of the contract or what was reasonable to ask. Now, people are starting to shift more to an attitude of "Maybe it's not worth it." I can bust my bum working every day and also taking extra shifts, giving up weekends and whatnot and be completely frazzled. Maybe I'll have more money, but is that what's healthy for me? So we start to rethink our priorities...maybe having that extra money isn't worth the work I'm having to do to get it. And bosses, in turn, are starting to see that people aren't willing to bend over backwards for peanuts anymore and are demanding more compensation for that extra work, and they feel like they are losing control, so they start making more demands to show their employees who's in charge. I can only speak from my experience, but I know I used to work SO hard and really did every thing I could to prove I was a good employee. I did the things that no one else seemed to want to do, followed the rules that no one else did, thinking it would set me apart. Then they gave me a terrible evaluation because they didn't see all those things I was doing as an asset. They only saw how many items I was able to scan in a certain amount of time, and how that compared to other people who weren't doing anything but scanning items. And the boss told me it was probably because I'm fat and I'd be able to walk faster if I lost some weight, but until I did, he wouldn't be scheduling me much because there were other people who were faster. (Yes, he got in trouble from HR, because he made similar degrading remarks to other people and everyone refused to sign their evaluations. He left a few years ago.) I realized there's no sense in busting tail because they don't notice it anyway. I was going above and beyond and they didn't even care, so they gave me a bad evaluation and told me they weren't going to give me hours. It changed the way I worked. I still follow the rules, and I still do everything to the best of my ability, but I don't do things without being asked, and I don't fix other people's mistakes. I don't work every available extra hour they ask people to do. I don't take on more than I'll get credit for. If things fall apart, it's not my responsibility. I do my job efficiently, and that's it. It's still more than some other people do. I used to be like Carolyn, but the management didn't see that I was picking up the slack for the slackers. I hope Carolyn is recognized for the work she does. I was not, so I stopped doing it.

Admittedly, my work ethic isn’t perfect, but, it’s pretty darn good. Carolyn on the other hand, her work ethic is impeccable, to the point that she’s been called out by co-workers at more than one job to knock it off ‘cause she was makin’ ‘em look bad…her answer…”Pick up your game!”…!!!!! :hilarious:
And, Carolyn is no “stick in the mud”…she’s silly, funny, vivacious, and very fun to be around, but, she does her work, and then some, without fail…!!!!! :happy:
And, as I posted before, management is aware of what she does…!!! :)
