Then they would hire someone else, and that person would be doing the same job title as me (less work though) but somehow be getting paid more. When I decided to leave, after trying to get some things more balanced, they were like all shocked and saying stuff like, "Why didn't you say you were unhappy?".

This is what happened to me at my first admin job. I finished my work faster in the day then always had to help another colleague, same age 19 and paid the same. When after a while I complained to my boss, she said. In your working life some people are race horses who complete their work quickly whilst others are cart horses who are slow.

In the real world Jenny is Veronica's superior and she assigns tasks to Veronica and then reports and takes all the credit.

In Brazil we say: "The good donkey carries twice the load.". Instead of rewarding the good work, they always burden people that give 110% at work.

I had a manager push another employee's work off on me just so she could send her home early since we were slow. When I asked, since we were slow, why didn't I get cut? The manager responded with, "Because we were slow, and she was finished first." She finished first because YOU gave me all of her side work since MY sidework was done. After that I refused to do anyone else's sidework and gotten written up for not being a team player.

No, you can continue to be efficient. Just don't tell anyone you are and use that free time to upskill or learn something different so you can get an even better job down the line. Or use the efficiency to get a raise or promotion but don't make it seem like you're not busy. For instance, if your efficiency increases department productivity goals, or improves sales quotas, or operational efficiency that leads to replicating your process in another department, or helping the company cut costs. Things that are worth telling higher ups so you can get a raise or promotion. If the company you work for don't care about that stuff, then save it for your resume for when you're looking for a better job.

No good deed goes unpunished. You get someone else's work for finishing your own early.

and this is why i follow the "you get what you pay for" mentality when it comes to work. i do the job that is in my job description and nothing else, unless i get a substantial raise for doing more.

This makes more sense in an hourly factory job than a salaried position like it seems Veronica has.

I absolutely love Veronica !! I wish I had her courage.😊

This actually happened to me. Any time I finished MY work, I was supposed to send an e-mail around to the entire firm, asking all of my attorneys (six of them) and all of the other secretaries (23 of them) if anybody needed any help with anything. Five times out of six, the answer was, “No.” After a while, people started complaining that I was annoying them with my constant queries. But if my keyboard was idle for more than a minute or two, then my supervisor wanted to know why I wasn’t working. If I responded that no one had given me anything to do, then she insisted that I send round that annoying e-mail to everyone. If that did not yield an assignment, then I was supposed to ask my supervisor for an assignment. The end result of this charade was that I wound up looking like a total slacker who never worked. Oh, and I made inquiries - not one of other secretaries EVER sent round a similar e-mail asking for work, or offering to help others. I just wish I had seen this video three years ago.

Amen! Yes! How many friggin YEARS did it take me to figure out that I was essentially lowering my hourly wage by finishing early and doing someone else’s work for them!!

Veronica is my hero.

My favorite experience was a boss that refused to let anyone else work on key tasks for projects to go forward and finish, even completely re-writing core parts that forced everyone to rebuild everything from scratch, which resulted in the entire department getting let go, because we "weren't meeting deadlines", without standard industry severance, even people who had been there for years, and only a couple days of health insurance, except him, who kept his job... The best part, I had everything logged in project management, which proved he was the problem, and the owner told me project management was a waste, and ignored everything I said.

"They feed the pigs and whip the horses."

This is a deep secret in the corporate world.

No good deed goes unpunished

I learned that lesson early in my working career

And then bosses wonder why people quiet quit

The more you do , the more they want

First day, second day maybe, sure I’ll help out, be a team player and all that. Third day? “Actually I have a question. Have you spoken with Jenny about her constantly missing deadlines? Maybe you can work out why she’s falling behind so much.”

Hard work often only gets you more hard work. 😢

No matter the size of the organization 10% do the majority of work. Of that 10% a further 10% do the majority of that work. The lesson is reward those by merit appropriately. Sometimes authority is reward, sometimes money, etc. A leader can bring the team up to standards more befitting the whole, and a manager can focus on the individuals and find appropriate opportunities for development. Both skill sets are necessary.

Problem is, the manager won't deal with Jenny.

This was nothing but my life. Someone else’s work when I’m ALWAYS done early. It started to be a consistent thing at an under pay rate. More work less pay. Back away from the table. Manage your TIME wisely.

I agree with this 100%

If I'm doing any portion of Jenny's job I expect that percentage of Jenny's pay.

I warned my kids about setting the bar too high and the rewards that come with it. The better you do, the more rewards you get (in the form of other work). The only real reward is money.

I used to stock an entite department by myself and I was never able to finish before everyone else finished their areas (most departments had 2-3 people stocking). Always felt like shit when people would come over and help me.

I know how this feels. I’ve alway done my job and hit my quotas. While others that get paid more than me never hit their quotas. I had to go part time due to a family illness and I agreed to take on a little bit more than part-time work quotas. I’ve been making my quotas again just working part time taking more than part-time work. I’ve been doing that for four months …now we’re shortstaffed and I have more quotes, than I worked when I was full-time and only working part time. It’s CRAZY! And STILL THE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES ARE NOT GETTING THEIR WORK DONE. I’m about done myself. This is not fair. My performance evaluation looks great but my pay looks sorry They won’t pay over a certain amount in the company based on the years you’ve been there. I’m going to retire early because of this crap but it’s a job that I love. 😢

I learned that lesson in the military. Go Head Veronica!

This is so true. Sadly

I hit the subscribe button on this video, this video hit me hard… I’m dealing with a very similar situation at my job…. Being a Diesel Mechanic… they hire this older guy who’s been in the field older so they are paying him more than me,but he always need help with something and they will take me off my job to go help him……. Pisses me off

PREACH!!!

Exactly the problem with jobs and why we have so many lazy people who don't want to work. Companies don't properly reward people who go above the expectations anymore. I'm not even 30 but even I know back in the day if you were someone like this, always got stuff done early, etc. you'd be highly recommended for promotion, end up with less work, and more pay. Not now. Now management just hires their fucking nephew or friend who's unqualified and speeds them through the gravy train route while normal employees have everything thrown on them to make it easier for the manager's favorites.

If you work hard they simply give you more work

Run me Jenny’s pay for doing her work.
