If you could buy this clown for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth Baldo could get his dream ride fixed help his family and put Gracie through college and grad school.
Sometimes how one is treated at work changes how one works.
My first job, that was not working for my dad, was supermarket cashier. Based on how we treated I would punch in, work, punch out for break (15 minutes), punch back in and punch out for the day – worked my specified hours for the day. Since I had seen other employees not treated well if, say, they forgot to punch in it could not be adjusted for I would not go over and beyond.
My second job was selling fine jewelry in a local home goods department store. While we had to punch in and out – the company was very nice about how we were treated. At my first review the manager commented that my sales amount was lower than other employees, but that they knew I did a lot of extra things – such as taking items to be polished for a customer etc. and I was given a raise. I did more there than was I needed to do to get by as same was acknowledged and appreciated by the company.
I then graduated from college and started working for an accountant who had a similar type of practice as my dad. I was on fixed salary here. I would take work home to finish it and so on. I got a Christmas bonus. I was appreciated and did beyond what I was suppose to do due to same.
My boss retired and my dad took over his practice – I would do whatever was needed as it was for my dad and I knew my work was appreciated.

If he put as much energy into work as he did avoiding work…

sounds like one of my coworkers. Guy says he won’t work “extra” because he’s not paid enough. Problem is that he won’t work to his duties, either.

I’m surprised he’d even give himself a 25% on a day. At least in the strip he’s never shown giving 5%. I figured it was 100% total for the last month.

This is NOT what is meant by “think positive!”

I used that joke during a roast when my boss left. “He gave 100%. Monday 20% etc.” Always gets a good laugh.
