    I always give 100 percent of what I get paid. Minimum wage equals minimum effort.

    That seems acceptable, but I’m not sure what that does for your chances of promotion. Typically people move up by doing more than they are obligated to do.

      Welcome to the Peter Principle:

      The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to “a level of respective incompetence”: employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.

      Promotion? You mean the guy who gets paid worse than hourly because they’re expected to do unlimited overtime on their salary? Haha no thanks.
