I once took a "down shift" job and it didn't work well.

After only a few days I started seeing inefficiencies, some people slacking like crazy while others had to work for two, management that was really incompetent and could not be convinced to improve anything.

I mean, people were nice and everything and I enjoyed the social aspects of the job, but I learned that I was too competitive to function in a less demanding job



Inefficient for the company maybe, but if you are not going to be paid more for extra work or diligence, and the work you are doing is not particularly meaningful or helpful to others (could be wrong as I don't know what we're talking about) why would you work hard unless you are larping?
