The longstanding union tactic of “working to rule” — in which workers do only exactly what is required by their employment contracts and, as a result, slow things down so much that management has to take notice — reflects the fact that workplaces falter unless people do more than is strictly required. A well-functioning organization, whether in the private sector or the public, is full of people doing things they don’t have a formal obligation to do.

hahahahahahaha catch me in my coffin before I EVER do more than what my goddamn job description lays out, especially if my dumbass bosses won't give me a $2.00 raise so I can actually afford the average cost of a 2br apartment in this state.
