I don’t expect perfection, nor did I ever state that I did. I expect the literal bare minimum of service which in the realm of delivering something means as I said to the other person, taking it from point A to point B. If you take it to anywhere but point B, you have failed the basic task your job revolves around.
Exactly.
And please don’t anyone get me wrong, I’m in no way saying “Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!” or “Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs”, I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain’t-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h’s worth. If you’re in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven’t rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny’s worth of labour above $7/h.
But there’s a difference between ‘doing 125% when you’re being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free’ and ‘well I don’t care about this job so I’m not even going to attempt the literal minimum.’ If you’re getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.
