I Was always a good Employee that Gave hundred and ten percent to my Employer

Don’t take work for granted

When I watch the news, I often see stories about “Quiet Quitting.” Quiet Quitting is a concept that I can’t wrap my head around. It goes against everything my parents taught me.

My parents taught me to do a good job, regardless if I liked it, or not. I have always enjoyed working. It didn’t matter if I was a dishwasher, janitor, or security guard.

If I was hired, I worked hard

I always gave one hundred and ten percent. When I was a janitor, I would work six or seven days a week without taking breaks, I would never have a lunch break.

When I was a security guard, I would work seven days a week, and many double shifts. I didn’t mind those jobs because I enjoyed working.

Keeping my self-respect was important

Here’s the thing, I was loyal and hard-working, and what did my loyalty and hard work get me? nothing lasting, I can tell you that. It doesn’t matter, The company hired me to do a job and I did that job to the best of my ability.

I’m on Disability, and I’m going nuts. Social Security pays me enough to pay my bills. I rarely have any extra cash to do anything. Two years ago, I had to call the Finance company. I told them to come and get their car.

If you work, you can have nice things

My wife and I are getting by taking a local bus and getting rides with friends and family. If I was able to work, I would still have a car.

I hate being on Food Stamps most of all. My life is in a holding pattern, and I can’t find the landing strip. When I hear about employers having trouble finding people, I wish with all my heart that I could apply for that job.

It kills me to see my wife worry about finances

I’m supposed to be a man and a husband, but I can’t provide for my wife the way I want to. I’m disabled for a reason. I know I can’t work right now. In a few days, I will be sixty-three years old. I know I should be looking forward to retirement, but I would rather be working.

I don’t feel like I’m an old man, despite my health problems. I value and respect hard work. It pisses me off to see people not taking work seriously.

Final thought:

Do your job, if you don’t like the job you have, find another one, someone would love to have the job you disdain.
