you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family.

The coworkers I like the most are the ones that come to work, don’t like drama, do their job and go home. That’s what I try to do.

However, there are always some established cliques who know how to play the unit / supervisor and get away doing much less, even feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

To people who experience this. How do you tolerate it? Even after changing jobs, this can happen at your new workplace, maybe it happens in every workplace?

    I used to be more sensitive to feeling like other people were getting more recognition for less work.

    Over time though I’ve grown to realize that usually they are just doing something that I don’t fully understand yet, and I’ve gotten far greater rewards from trying to learn from them.

    The title sounds like this person is jealous that someone else found out they could do less work for the same money.

    I’m in a similar situation and I’m taking it poorly because I feel that it is affecting the possibilities of the company, and with that mines as well. So currently I’m in the process of searching for a place that can have more future. Which being also an introvert is being quite a hell.

    I have a base load where I simply couldn’t do less if I tried or I’d die of boredom and simply envy anyone who can.

    also any shitkicker who fancys themselves in charge will quickly get told to act their fucking wage.

    Do less too, if anyone dares to complain, document and point out the double standard then remind your employer that discrimination is illegal. If they punish you, sue and get rich I guess.

    Or

    Find a new job

    Or

    Just ignore it if you aren’t stressed out with the amount of work you have

    Or

    Play the game too, humans are social creatures at the end of the day

    We don’t really know your life or situation so at best, all the advice here is educated guessing or worse.
