    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.

      Someone who thinks that working off the clock is “helping out with something.”

        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.

                You see why that’s a strawman, right? I’m not talking about employers asking people to stay late. I’m talking about coworkers who say “training isn’t in my job description” when you ask them to show you how to do something.

                  And I’m talking about employers because they’re the ones who consider themselves entitled to ignore employee protections.

                    Yeah, so…this whole comment chain is about how people like that make shitty coworkers. You don’t get to switch it up, exaggerate, and be like “well actually I was talking about this other thing the whole time”

                    Catch you in another thread, I think we’re good here
