    Two things stand out to me: “work family” and “support your co-workers.”

    I don’t “support my co-workers,” I do my job, and they do theirs. When one of us isn’t there, the other one keeps working. Nobody is waiting around for me to finish my lunch. I’m not holding anything up. Tell THEM to get to work, not me. I’m on lunch.

    And “work family?” Get fucked with that nonsense. It’s my job, not my family. I love my family, I will die for my family. I will NEVER die for my job. You have me for 40 hours a week. The rest is MINE. You don’t even have the right to request any of MY time, without compensation.

    The value of my excess labor belongs to ME.
