'I’m clocking out and walking out': Overworked employee has enough of taking over two coworkers who keep hiding in the back

It's not easy being the employee that everyone can depend on…

For starters, that's a lot to live up to and can add unnecessary pressure on top of the normal stress that comes with the work day. Then, there's the fact that as soon as people begin to realize that you are overqualified and far too good at your job than you necessarily need to be, those same people will start giving you more work. 

Sometimes, it's not even the manager. In this case, two coworkers thought they could get away with disappearing in the back room in the middle of a shift when this diligent employee was present. They felt he could take on all their responsibilities without any complaining and that they could spend the rest of their shift gossiping and getting nothing done. Unfortunately for these slackers, all good things must come to an end, and it would only be a matter of time before the overworked employee had enough.
