Just do your job

The past two weekends at work I've come up with a new motto for work.  It is simple.

Just do your job.

That is it.  I don't care to get Facebook messages from an ill co-worker who as home and thinking about how I do my job.  Your not my supervisor and I'm not at work.  Do your job, let me do mine.  If you really have the dying need to comment about the subject, please do it in an appropriate manner.  At work.  I know co-workers might have a lot going on in their personal lives.  But if you are going to be two hours late to work, a phone call saying you will be late would be nice.  I would consider this part of your job.  If you are at work and are told something needs to be done.  Just do it.  I don't really care that someone else "should" be there and doing this particular task already, they aren't and it needs to be done.  Complaining is not going to help, just do your job (because it is really part of your job as well).  And I really don't want to hear about the personal disagreements between co-workers slowing me down from doing my job.  And I really don't like a phone call from my supervisor the next afternoon that lasts for 30 minutes telling me that I did the right thing and if it were to happen again I should do the same thing.  Yeah, thanks.  I really have no interest in you telling me that for 30 minutes, particularly when I'm at home trying to listen to Pyrope talk about his day at school, cook dinner, and make sure Obsidian doesn't get into anything he should be because I'm focusing too much on the phone conversation, Pyrope, and dinner.  Nor do I care to get a phone call at 8 am the next day from a co-worker telling me that my supervisor might be calling me to go over once again what happened on the weekend.  Do NOT care.  If you are sick, then take time off and go home.  I don't care if you want to use your PTO for vacation not sick time.  If you are well enough to be at work, do your job, and all of it.  Don't do part of it, then leave the part you had the time and could have done, but just didn't feel like doing for me to do.  And if you do leave it for me to do, please be clear about what I need to do, so I don't have to waste my time to figure out what parts of your job you didn't do, so I can complete them.  All of this boils down to:

Just do your job.

Thanks.  It makes mine a lot easier.

Note: I really do understand that my department is going through a huge period of change and this is stressing out many people.  But it would be so much nicer for everyone if everyone just attempted to do their own jobs!  Just saying.
