'I don't have to do half of my job anymore': Part-time grocery worker asks for raise after halting extra work

As a grocery store employee, this part-time worker is known for taking on additional work to make the store run smoother. You'd think that would make them the ideal employee! But at this grocery store, that's just not how things work.

As the OP explained in their story, they work very hard at their job, doing tasks that honestly sound like managerial work, like adjusting inventory or handling deliveries. Despite that, they still did all these things happily, until a new boss decided to step in and change things up.

This person's story gained an interesting reaction from commenters. Some people loved the tale. But others said that the OP "sounded full of him/herself." I actually think the manager, K, was correct in a roundabout way here. She saw that the OP was doing tasks inappropriate for their wage, and stepped in. It's hard to know if she intended to maliciously comply, but after reading the u/Welcomesnooze's story, it does make us wonder. The OP is way to much of an overachiever to be stuck in a part-time retail gig.

Up next, these people revealed their cringiest and most embarrassing moments ever, like one kid who offered to do the worm across the stage during their winter school play.
