My job is easy as fuck for the most part, don't get me wrong, I work in an ethylene plant, its dangerous and theres a shit load at stake if anything goes wrong, but for the most part, the plant runs smoothly and everyone gets an easy-ish time, but none the less, there are still some cunts who STILL want to do less. I mean we do 12 hour shifts, and if everyone put in 3 or 4 hours of proper work in each shift, it would be all good. But then you get cunts who think that its ok for them to do no hours of work and some other poor bastard has to take up their slack. It's actually a really scummy way to behave.

Another thing that annoys me at work is when you get the shift handover and something hasn't been done, or people stick rigidly to the operating instructions and wont step a foot outside of protocol in order to backheel a job, then people come away with some shit like "oh its just a bit of politics". Shut the fuck up with that shit, I dont work on a fucking politics plant, politics dont pay the fucking bills.

I swear the days of people finding a way to get a job done have been replaced with people finding ways to not do a job.

Yeah I used to get so shitty at work. My manager resigned about 1.5 years ago, and we didn't have a manager until about 6 months ago. So no manager for about a year. I have 3 others that work with me, one is a guy I don't mind, but he is a dead set dumb shit, such a stupid guy, lazy and really stupid if I didn't already mention that. The other guy is good when he wants to be, but is always away, averages about a day off for a fortnight for like over 2 years.
I pretty much took on a lot of the extra work when we had no manager, and always fixed the stupid dudes fuck ups and a lot of the time it was before it caused any problems. Though he used to always answer the phone, walk around with a piece of paper to look like he is doing something, walking around and chatting to the big bosses, basically trying to look like the man. He is also spineless and says 'yes' to anything someone requests, even if it's stupid or unreasonable. So people liked him, and he used to con people by trying to look like the guy doing all the work and trying to get noticed. It worked for a bit, and people went directly to him, because they assumed he was the go to man, lol.
Well, we got a manager about 6 months ago, she was already working in our place and is manager of the help desk team (she still is). She has always loved me, but since then. The dumb cunt has been getting seriously exposed. A while back, my manager called me in and said she has noticed, that I am doing all the work and everyone else seem to be lazy. She even said how now she notices first hand how stupid and lazy the guy is.
Just in December, I got invited to the customers drinks christmas party by my manager and another sales woman upstairs. I don't think the other guys would have been too happy. Then one night after work in December, I got a phone call from the accounts manager at work, and he told me that I will find $2k in my account for all my good work that's been noticed for my christmas bonus, and then said to keep it quiet. Which I was quiet happy with, compared to what others got.

Things ended out well for me. I still hate my job, lol.

Its good to see that some managers still recognise who is the best at doing the work rather than who is the best at bullshitting. It seems at my work that the managers are just happy if no one is getting hurt, they dont seem to challenge laziness or incompetence, nor do they recognize hard work and effort. It will get to the point where people with a conscience like myself will just give up, why should I do more than some lazy stupid fuck who not only gets the same scratch as me but gets off with doing fuck all and I get no credit for making an effort.

You should do more because you can't stand doing less, or you should find a job that rewards you properly for your efforts.

Commission sales is an option. Of course, that's playing without a net.
