My boss told me to be LESS enthusiastic about working
Yeah exactly what the title says… my boss called me into his office and spoke to me about my worth ethic.
I am the type of person to go above and beyond. I like to work and I want to bring the best I can to the team and give it my all.
I tend to work very fast and complete my assignments very quickly and effectively. My boss will dump work on my and I end up completing it within a couple of hours, some thing that takes him a week to do.
My boss informed me to please stop reply to so many emails and that it would be better to leave some emails unanswered and as well to try and work slower.
He says I should be doing all this or else people will expect more from the team. He has told me try not to go all in, I know you like your job and everything but you are going wild with this and its starting to effect the ethics in the office.
So I am being told to work less.. so confused.. I was given a verbal warning.

- As someone who used to go above and beyond and get absolutely nothing for it except more work, I’d listen to your boss. Spend that effort during work hours towards something else you’re interested in learning or doing.
- Listen, you go to work to do a job and to get paid. If the boss says do less work to make the team look like a pos so everyone else can work less, do it. lol Just bring some ear buds with you and watch a movie like I do while I work.
- Do you respond to each and every single email with things like “thank you” or “ok”? Not every email needs a response. You may be flooding people’s inboxes with unimportant replies.
- He does not want the entire group to HAVE to work like you, makes sense. Some do not see the work as being more important than the life.
