What kind of worker are you?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Ok so they'll be others to choose from.
But are you:
Hard working, conscientious and honest, never shy away from responsibility and take ownership of your work but don't expect anything other than wages?
Or
Do just enough to warrant your employment not really interested but competent enough and can do a good job when you can be arsed?
Or
Pretty fucking useless hide behind others but great at sucking up to management or owner's, you have mastered the art of stealing others hard work and making it look like you have done it?
Or
Lazy arse, don't give a fuck willing to let everyone else do all the work and let them take the responsibility but your always the first to complain if you don't get what you want? |

I'm the moron who can't just watch the fuckers burn the business to the ground, so I spend most of my days stressed and trying to wipe the arses of the clueless morons being paid at least twice as much as me so that things keep moving forward. Fully aware that they will not recognise it or pay me an appropriate wage for the amount that I do 💜 |

Way too conscientious for my own good
I find it very difficult to walk away knowing there is still stuff to do
That said, I have some principles
I take all my holidays, take my lunch break, will not work weekends and I won't wipe someone else's arse for them
I don't carry the lazy
Not a chance |

Watch everyone reply with number 1 because they're just the bestest employees ever 
I'm number 2. When the motivation is there, I I'm genuinely very good at what I do but I'm not going above and beyond and stressing myself out for anyone. If they want shit done on time with good quality, then set reasonable deadlines |

At the moment I really like my job so it’s the first one. I’m paid good money, have good bosses who appreciate my work and I get to wfh. That said I don’t work a minute longer than I have to and always take my breaks. It’s currently a good balance for all of us. |

"Way too many number 1s in here. You must think your managers are watching
He is.
Every minute of every day, no matter how many times I tell him to fuck the fuck off. "
What a loser!
(I’m kidding I know it’s you) |

The fact that I can tell my manager to fuck off and just refuse to turn up to meetings I consider a waste of my time is one of the few reasons I tolerate the place. That and actually enjoying making the numbers dance when I'm not stuck trying to fix everyone else's shit.
I could easily find something less stressful for more money. But nowhere else would even consider tolerating my attitude if they don't know my worth. And I cannot be fucked to mask completely for the months that would take 💜 |

"I do what I need to do and do my job well, that's as far as I go. I used to give a lot more but it didn't benefit me so I've learnt to take a step back."
Lazy if I’m honest as I don’t give a damn.n |

As much as I try to fit into the
"Not giving a fuck" category unfortunately due to me being a total worry guys, overthinking everything care way too much about what people think of me my harshest critic is myself and I genuinely lose sleep if I feel I haven't given 100%.
I worry about every job I do and set myself up for a fall by setting unachievable goals.
I rarely stop for more than a few minutes a day,I'm early to every job and always go over and above.
Most of the guy's I work with keep telling me I worry too much, but I just can't be the alternative.
I work hard and will probably drop dead at work.
The really really sad thing is I fucking hate what I do I dislike being a carpenter and hate the whole industry.
But still want to be the best I can be at it.
What a sad loser  |

Conscientious but am done with doing way more hrs than I'm paid to do for free so I don't. That makes me feel crap often but that's my new approach to working esp given the money I'm on. Have given lots to my workplace and feel over the years it's been thrown back in my face. Definitely not a 2 way street. So I get in an hour early, work through break and lunch and stay for an hour and a half after hrs. If I can't get everything done in those hours I don't. |

Two ish leaning towards one when it matters. I do what I'm paid to do and regularly clean up other people's mess but I don't do it for the company, I do it for the customers. I won't work past my hours but that doesn't mean I can leave jt behind when I clock out. Unfortunately my job can be quite mentally draining. I couldn't and won't do it forever. |

Definitely number one. Been doing my job for so frigging long in the same firm, it should be in the Guinness book of records. Then again I have mastered the art of looking busy when I'm not when a tyre kicker walks through the door. |

I align closest to the 'hard worker' option. If i wasnt then i wouldnt survive in the line of work that im in. But i also try my best to work smart to avoid burnout and maintain a work life balance. |

Stay focused till the job is done, no matter how long that mighy take. Do every job with integrity and to high standard. Support anyone who might need help, praise good work and celebrate achievement. Who you work for and work with can influence all that. Good teamwork and common goals and supporting one other to achieve those brings joy and fulfilment in what you do imo |

I was a scaffolder and for the most part loved my job I liked it because it was hard going pretty dangerous and the banter was brilliant.I liked getting home from work knowing that I’d earned my money.I miss it.A lot |

How hard of a worker I am all depends how deep your pockets are.
For example: good hourly rate/ salary means good worker. Minimum wage = minimum effort.
You get what you pay for, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

I think being a chippy would be awesome job such a cool set of practical skills. Are used to be a fibreglass boat maker when I left school for about eight years and I worked alongside chippies making the models very very skilled people I always wanted to get into that but it never happened |

It completely depends on what day it is and what's going on in all honesty. I'd probably say I'm no 2 on the list, just because I do work, I do my job, but also I'm not one of those who'll go above and beyond or work silly hours/overtime etc. |
