Loyalty troubles at work? How are your experiences?

You should not be going in early and working for free - you are being taken advantage of if you do that.

'Work' at stores, runs the entire gamut, I've had to clean bathrooms and wax woodwork at a restaurant even though I was a waitress. It's NOT just what you think the job should be. Working clerical it makes no difference if I'm doing data entry or stuffing envelopes, it's part of doing the job.

Janitorial work is on a lower pay scale, you're making more than a cleaning crew would make, and they need the work done now, not after the place closes down. It's part of your job. If you want more responsibility you go to your manager at the end of the day and ask how you can move forward with more responsibility.

If you can't work with your employers, it might be time to move on. I'm sure they're picking something up from you too, since you have resentment about your place of work.

Loyalty to employers went out when employers stopped being loyal to employees. You owe an employer an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, period. Do the best you can, don't undermine anyone else's ability to work, and always keep your resume up to date. In a situation like yours where you are unhappy, be looking for a new job as hard as if you didn't already have one, and if you find one that seems like a better situation, leave. Give two weeks' notice if you possibly can, and, as Bryan said, leave on good terms.

Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that. An advice I could give you is be proactive and be honest.

In my experiences and my work ethic, loyalty earns you respect. I treat all my coworkers and boss like family and protect them. Within the first 2 weeks the whole company knew my name. I worked as a receptionist and not even in an authoritative position. I began getting more and more opportunities because of my willingness to do anything and Learn anything. But because of my capabilities, my supervisor became threatened and started stabbing me in the back and created drama. She would give me the wrong schedules and even neglect to tell me important work details. All a while spreading rumors that I'm quitting with a fake smile on her face. Because I'm the youngest team member they kept on pointing the finger at me and I would constantly get blamed for mistakes. I had enough and had a formal meeting with her and confronted her about everything. Of course she feigned ignorance and I just treated her indifferently towards her fake tears. Then she unleaded her real face. I decided to change my job within the same company but I'm drastically happier and content in my job. Intact I've gained more respect and trust around me. Sometimes moving on is the best course of action if your just hitting rock bottom. Its never worth it to be miserable.

....I've always been told to be loyal and never give up even through tough times, i have done so, and have yet to be greatly rewarded....

---you are misunderstanding the expression NEVER give up.

when you are the boss or entrepreneur and things just

are not working as you expected AFTER doing your research,

NGU

but when you are an employee and your work is getting

you nothing except poor pay, FIND another company to work for and stay there oNLY as long as respect comes your way.

happy new year and ho ho season!!!

You are working for jerks. they are not going to change, and they probably won't give you any more of a chance than you have already had.

So, keep doing your best and don't let them see you are unhappy with them. Look hard for something better and when you get it, leave on good terms with the jerks. You gain nothing by telling them off, and you may need them for a reference in the future.

Be loyal and be assertive to maintain the loyalty. If others are not changing, better leave that organisation.
