The whole time clock, "I'm on MY time" mentality is actually dragging the workers down and limiting their opportunities in life. Unfortunately that attitude is fostered by labor unions and Democrats.
A true professional will show up to do his job and do it well. He will not fret about being asked to do something "off the clock". I actually find it kind of demeaning to "punch a clock" like I'm some kind of unskilled laborer. I think the last time I punched a clock was when I was 17 and working at the supermarket bagging groceries.
I don’t work for free. Your attitude is what sucks. You ought to listen to yourself. I guess I ought to be glad I got a job that I should just work for free.
I am a professional and expect to be paid for same. I am not a charity and do not represent myself as one.
You know, the other day, I hired someone to help me cut some small trees and limbs. The chain came off the chainsaw and I had to replace it. NEVER occured to me to NOT pay him for having to wait on me to fix the chainsaw.
"Asked"? This is not some informal request where your neighbor is asking you to give him a hand with a heavy package or something, this is a long-term commercial transaction where one party sells labor and the other buys it. Trying to apply the standards of the former to the latter is silly. Professional transactions ought to be handled in a professional manner -- each job requirement is paid for at the agreed rate.
