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?
get away with doing less?
Why is this your problem? It’s not your company and you don’t owe the capitalists who own it the time of day - so why are you making this your problem?
if it isn’t fucking me over I don’t care, but like if it’s fucking me over I’m not afraid to fight fire with fire and I will stoop to their level until mgmt addresses the problem
You don’t. You do your job and go home. Job is there to make money, if you want friends or fairness, look for that outside work.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
I am not paid to manage people, I am paid to manage IT systems.
do their job and go home. That’s what I try to do.
I feel like this is OK and it is not your real problem…
feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.
…but this is.
Do not play along. Learn to not get ordered around. Tell them / teach them that they can play their games at somebody else, but not at you.
