ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Eight hours really aren’t enough time during a workday to get everything done. There’s always something else. Whether it’s another report or some keyword research, I have to save something for tomorrow. Which only adds to my workload because I’ll get more to do tomorrow as well. I could stay and work some overtime, but I wouldn’t get paid for that overtime. A lot of jobs will give you time and a half for overtime, but I’m working on salary so I get paid the same regardless of how many hours I put in. I want to do a good job, don’t get me wrong. And I strive to be professional. I don’t mind going out of my way to help out either. But I need a reason to go out of my way every single day. I’m not up for promotion or a raise any time soon. All I’d be doing by staying after my work day ends is taking time out from whatever else I have to be doing. I do have a life outside the office, though no boss wants to hear that. No one has said anything to me about anyway. Not yet at least, but it might be coming any day now. I’ve got my argument down pat though. I’ll be fine.
