Ever feel like just doing the bare minimum at work to avoid getting fired but also have time for other hobbies?

WORD !

Man that is literally a mantra of mine. Just do the minimum for the bread in order to get other incomes and finally start a business.

Mfkers in corporations kill themselves to get extra dollars years after.

Use corporations as they use people.

Your workplace is nuts. We just work 40. Some can get away with less.

Do the bare minimum, even if it means you fall behind. This would be best if you could get co-workers to do the same. By doing a slow down, it'll make upper management realize that they need more people.

Keep the pressure and do the same amount of work until you're fully satffed.

Or start looking for a new job while doing the bare minimum. Then bounce when you're hired

In my own business, I do the same general kind of stuff I used to do in a corporate job, except I'm in charge of all aspects of the business now, with no asshole idiot managers, the projects are more mentally stimulating and creative, and I make more than twice as much per hour.

Don't think of your job as an end goal. Use it to pad your resume as necessary, and then bounce to something better.

Job market is tougher than ever, so I say just keep your head down and do as much as will get you by until new opportunities get by as the economy improves.

If you want a raise or promotion, you have to talk to your bosses and not wait for them to notice what a great drone you are.

Sounds like you don't need time for hobbies, you need time for an alternative income.

If that job is pushing you more than you would like, find a new job and it's the best way to get a pay rise anyway.

I feel like I'm doing the opposite. I want more time for my hobbies but am consumed by work. And not just hobbies, but other important shit (that has nothing to do with my job) I need to get done with.

That's what I preach. Never fuck yourself over for a company that wouldn't do the same for you.
