Student Given a "Work Ethic Quiz" at School That Smells Like Indoctrination 101
Whether we like it or not, quizzes and tests are part of the whole experience of going to school, but this was the last quiz we expected someone would have to take, and perhaps it's the most disturbing one as well.
This student shared a question that was marked as incorrect from the "work ethic quiz" he had to complete. u/_FractalHeart posted this thread to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit and let's just say, Redditors were quick to drag whoever made this stupid quiz and accuse them of indoctrination. The question "in question," so to speak, was a hypothetical one about whether or not an employee should be expected to come in on a Saturday to finish a presentation if the client is coming earlier than expected. The student elected the first answer (get someone to cover for you) when the "correct" answer was likely "reschedule your plans."
Here's why this concept is damaging. First, if a client comes earlier than expected, they should not expect people to rush a process and have it completed earlier than planned. The work simply won't be of the same quality. No employee should have to suffer because someone else wouldn't stick to the plan. Furthermore, if that employee did choose to come in, they better be fairly compensated for that extra work and should perhaps be rewarded with time off later the following week.
If students really have to take a quiz about work ethic, they should be learning how to advocate for themselves in the workplace and how to ensure that they are being treated fairly. Otherwise, this class is just encouraging kids to embrace outdated values.
