This. Joy to the European work ethic. I haven't worked past 5 for the last 10 years. I refuse to do unpaid work and overtime. Would your employer bill you out for free? Nope.
- DrJokepu 13y agoActually yes, it's called a bonus.
- kryten 13y agoI get a hefty one of them as well. What's your point? I don't expect one. My basic salary is what I expect.
- DrJokepu 13y agoEmployers hand out bonuses to incentivise enployees to stay. Employees do unpaid overtime to incentivise employers to keep them. My point is that they are fundamentally similar concepts. It's great that you're in a position where your employer wants to incentivise you to stay around by giving you bonuses yet you don't need to do overtime to keep your job. I'm also in a similar position. Some people aren't, and this has nothing to do with European work culture or work ethics. It's supply and demand.
- kryten 13y agoNot being disposable or fungible is their incentive for keeping me. The things that make me stay at a company isn't the carrot dangled in front of me like some circus animal who needs to do their performance. People are too grateful for jobs. Employers use this to enforce servitude on people under terrible terms and people just lap it up every time. I'd rather sleep on the street than sell my soul.
- inafield 13y agoWhat's a bonus? I'm a top employee for my employer but I've never had this phantom thing.
- marssaxman 13y agoNot worth it.
