After reading all the comments, I’m extra glad that I’m not in the rat race anymore.

Retired in 1999 and have loved every minute of it.

I've had a change in outlook toward the workplace environment. in general. I will put out exactly what they pay me for. If they want the use of my ‘additional skills’ I bring with me then pay for them!

I recently watched a woman assume the managerial duties of our department....the more she took on the more the rightful dept manger handed her.....and this without compensation. This went on for about a year.....she gave notice this week.

I have well noted that in today's workforce exceeding your responsibilities is rarely going to advance you in any measure....but it wasn't this way before companies determined it was cheaper for them to roll employees.
