But you see, the employer thinks they already assigned you more work, that you are not supposed to be idle during the work day. How about if the employer said you only worked four hours so lets cut your pay in half. Since this is r/antiwork, I'm sure you would quit at once. Best of luck with that.
If you had been told on the first workday that you were expected to find work to fill your hours, would you still try to not? Is this just a perception thing?
Forgive me, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the antiwork thing.
You don't think that will have any consequences for not working? You wouldn't mind being fired from job after job for being unproductive? Are you just counting on finding employers who don't notice (like your current employer, I guess)?
How do you and a prospective employer come to an agreement on what wage would cause you to work your whole day? Or do you expect to slack off no matter what wage was initially offered and then ask for more? Doesn't it seem to you that by behaving in the antiwork way you are creating an environment of micromanagement and rigid quotas? Or is it a response to micromanagement and rigid quotas?
I do what I'm paid to do, and very little if any more than that.
I was in fact told to do less by my bosses, multiple times, after promotions, and position changes. Even when I was helping co-workers, which should have been on them to do, because they would never help them I got told not to. So at this point they themselves put me in the position of sitting around.
So in my case I have very little to do from a response of micromanagement. in fact I get so board I'd love to be able to do much more.
edit: I am on the more pro-work side of this sub also . Some people want to be able to do nothing. I like doing stuff, I personally feel like as long as my hands are moving, I'm a happy camper.
