If your not 15 minutes early, your late. If you complain about frequently staying late you are not a team player. If you want a day off you are asking for way too much-let alone a paid day off. If you need a sick day you are pressured to come in. If you don’t get a raise your supposed to implement the “it could always be worse”, if you don’t have any benefit you are expected to implement “well at least”--here is how to tell for sure it’s all BS; don’t show up for work for 5 days straight and don’t call in, then come back as if nothing had happened and when they say “hey! Where have you been?” Ask if they can just apply some of the eternal optimism affirmations such as “well at least I came back” or “it could always be worse I could have taken 2 weeks off instead of 1” and see how the optimism is only for you not them. Or try the “if I don’t leave 15 minutes early I’m working overtime”.

This is just the modern equivalent of the Soviet joke: We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us.
