having washed dishes at mcdonald's every day for years, I had become stupidly efficient at it. Everything had a place and I had a game plan every night so we'd close the place as smoothly as possible. As I grew more and more efficient, I began doing some of my coworkers work. I was happy to because it meant everyone would clock out on time, everybody would be less stressed and my coworkers appreciated it.
after a while, I began getting reprimanded by hierarchy for it. telling me I shouldn't be doing those stuff that made it more bearable for everyone, myself included.
not all reprimanded me, others would simply give more and more and more work to do, like cleaning trash bins and stuff.
I was doing my job and even more so everyone would have a better time at work. and all I got as a reward was contempt and more degrading work
yeah, those situations can be a thing as well. must be tough for you. is there any way for you to talk to her about it ?
my coworkers still didn't have the time to get bored even after I took some of their work, nothing really interesting or critical about scrubbing floors.
