This weirdly propaganda-ish phrase was pounded into our working-class heads and our parents’ heads. But it only helped me ruin relationships and almost my life.
Now I do my work and I go home. If I don’t like the job, I find another one. If I see my coworkers still there EOD I bark at them to go home (half-jokingly). If I make friends - it’s a happy accident. Staying late and working hard doesn’t earn respect 99% of the time. You’re playing yourself if you believe it. Life is short.
