By working hard eight hours a day, every day, you may just get more work to do. That’s my experience, but I believe others don’t have any better experience here either. I would love to know a person who said that their hard work was really rewarded, or that it was crucial to keep their job.

My hard work has been rewarded, to a degree. I finally crossed the eight–figure mark and my compensation should only increase. However with all the superlative work I have done turning this company around one could make the case my compensation should be double, triple, even quadruple what it is now.
Pfft. People in my segment worked their as––s off last year. All metrics exceeded and lots of praise but when it came down to ratings and merit increases they gave us the shaft with a 3. Excuse was that “you could always develop and be better”.
You can barely get a freaking good act award now days.
Did not matter. Had over 50% of 3's on EPRS and still was sent packing.
My pal would always say the best whre in the whrehouse gets ****ed the most. @1iyr THAT IS SO TRUE!
Hard work just got me a lot more quantity, and more "challenging" work per day than others in my same position. Being the Go–To person sounds like a compliment, but others are having a stress free day while you're juggling 10 things at once. You gobble your lunch down and work a few mins extra while they play on their phones in the bathroom and have nice leisurely lunches. My pal would always say the best whre in the whrehouse gets ****ed the most. I have yet to see any promotion awarded to someone who worked extremely, or extra hard. My bosses loved me because they could do a lot less, but took a lot of credit to their bosses. They didnt really tell their bosses how much I was really getting done for them.
work hard enough to hit average and maybe slightly above once in a while, in my experience if you over achieve and say hit 120% then that becomes your baseline, the expected minimum and at some point you paint yourself in a corner and cannot meet the outrageous goals you cornered yourself in.
be helpful if you can to co workers just because they are human too but other than that it aint worth it to stay late just to hit that number or overwork yourself to look good on a metric, we all have limited time on this earth and should not have to spend it stressing over phone/tasks metrics.
It's just a job. Remember! They give you nothing. You work for it. Mgmt are politicians and worthless.
just from experience I would say be likable, interview well, and do just enough work to hit metrics and nothing more. Knowing the job, working well with customers, and hard work seem to be low on the list of things they look for. I've not seen true hardwork pay off in really any meaningful way. Hard work is you over producing so that someone who doesnt produce can be employed, and they love promoting those people.
My hard work of keeping my mouth shut. I realized if I go to work everyday and not talk to anyone I cease to exist until my TM remembers I exist and ask if everything is ok, I say I’m fine and that’s that.
I used to be an over achiever for 2 years, now I’m sending back rererework to someone else so I can get off on time and let them turn it into rerererework for job security.
They want you to feel individual blame under the term of “team” I dealt with a sports organization that simply fired or cut contracts with lesser teammates. This mentality keeps people over working themselves and band aid problems and ride off the backs of the actual smart people who care to stay employed.
