My job does not need to be my life when I’m getting paid a Medicare wage.

Your work is substandard.

You are fired.

You can't fire me; I quit. You hired me to work 9 hours a day and I work 12- to 15-hours a day doing your damned job without extra pay or compensation of any kind. When I complained to you about it, you wrote me up for insubordination and threatened me with termination that would "probably prevent me from working in this industry again." I've taken it as long as I can and I'm out of here.

Yep. That happens. And that's what the younger generation are railing about and performing their own "go slows" and "work to rule". I work with a lot of Ys and Zs and they bust it when they're working. But they see employment as a contract with a solid quid-pro-quo; older people sometimes get caught up in the whole "do it for the company (that will someday can you anyway because corp loyalty is a myth nowadays)" that they don't understand that.
