Bro, I'm salaried and only really need to work six hours a day. So that's exactly what I do. My coworkers put in 12-14 hours a day six days a week... We get the same paycheck.

Granted, I'm consistently rated at the bottom of my department by my supervisors, but I'm also the most highly requested employee by our customers. Literally no one else gets requested by name and I have to triage projects.

Why do you think there is so much disparity between your bosses and your clients?

I show up late and leave early and don't participate in the "work culture" stuff, this makes my employer upset.

I get requested because I'm the best at my job and the customers talk to each other. I've had clients from other employees ask to switch to me but that's not allowed by policy. The best I can do is look at the work they're receiving and give feedback.

Sounds like shitty management.

It's crabs in a bucket and they're mad I won't get in the water. I'm paid well and they mostly leave me alone. They've only once fucked up my career once by bad-mouthing me to a department I tried to transfer to in order to learn a new skill.

Crabs in a bucket makes sense for the staff, but not the management. Management should be judging with outputs in mind.
