people have been telling me that my whole life when i act happy over doing something neurotypical people do easily :(
You won't get rewarded for doing the bare minimum, but when your employer gives you the bare minimum in terms of pay and benefits you should reward them by working as hard as you possibly can.
I've never even heard that phrase. Who says that kind of garbage? It's also just plain wrong, you'll still get paid for doing the minimum, i.e. your responsibilities, while some nerd who does extra work for no reason can easily get ignored for promotions because they don't communicate that they're doing "extra".
Also you should feel good when you accomplish something and screw anyone that craps on it. They're toxic.
no the term refers to treating people kindly and not being a bigot, not work
