Same thing applies to covering other peoples' shifts, sadly. I did it all the time when I initially started, and then no one would ever be willing to cover mine regardless of what happened. Got to the point I'd be regularly being asked to work 6 days a week, sometimes night and then day shifts, all of which was getting me in trouble with my boss, and yet there was no other options. Eventually I just started refusing to cover shifts unless someone agreed to work one of mine the same week (emergencies and such not withstanding)
75 percent will become the norm the following year, resulting in needing to do another 25 prevent more each year to be considered to be done above normal...
My old econ teacher taught me that as a concept in economics

That might work if your 50% are good enough to get the job in the first place, so you're likely being overly qualified. That's only going to work in the long term if the job offers legit sources of positive feedback apart from "making your way" in the rat race. Also it'd help to be an unambitious person, a typical underachiever and that's usually frowned upon by society. I personally don't see that many obligations coming with talent under everyday circumstances but I'm probably not representative in my views.
Not sure if a bitter American troll, or a rather naive hypocrite from some other country

Nope, this is true in America too. If you do more than what's expected of you, they expect that all the time.

I've settled for a factory job that pays $22.00 an hour. I'm good.
I believe guest was saying this is the mindset of Americans specifically

American Greetings my guy, the greeting card company. I feel you though, I busted my ass in packaging for a year making around $13/hr before I got my current job running a machine.
