    They’re the type of person who wouldn’t take 2 minutes to help you with something that’s not explicitly outlined in their job description.

    Yeah.

    Boundaries.

          Someone who thinks helping out with something is “being taken advantage of”

          Someone with a persecution complex.

          Professional victim.

          The type of person called their mom hitler growing up because she told you to clean your room.

              I’m a bit embarrassed…I thought you were talking to me and the point I was making.

              So what else did the strawman say that you want to get mad about?

                I thought constructing strawmen was what we were doing.

                  Every description I gave was for the type of person who would say “that’s not in my job description” if a coworker asked to help them with a task.

                  You know, the specific example I’ve been talking about in this entire comment chain?

                  Don’t show up in my replies arguing against a point I’m not making and then act like I’m the one off base.

                    And the description I gave was of the type of employer who doesn’t respect the boundaries of his employees.

                    And uses their “attitude” as an excuse.

          Helping out your coworkers on a one-off thing is just a thing normal people do. People like you are insufferable

              Your replies make me think you’ve never had a job with coworkers. You’re so caught up in the anti-capitalist mindset and apparently don’t realize there’s a HUMAN BEING struggling.

              Just let someone struggle for an hour instead of taking 2 minutes to help. That’s how we do things here on the left, right?

              Get a grip, man. Join us in the real world.

                How do you know I don’t help coworkers? You’re blindly jumping to conclusions because I won’t let my job take advantage of me.

                I never said anything about coworkers.

                  Forgive me, I thought you were the guy I’ve been arguing with who has been throwing insults toward people willing to help.

                  But still, saying no to helping a coworker for 2 minutes is not the same thing as setting a work/life boundary in the slightest. No one in this thread is arguing for overtime.
