Is it possible to be a good employee and not be taken advantage of?

[Anonymous]

It seems like whren most employers find out you're a hard worker, they just take advantage of you. More work, more responsibility, no increase in pay. How do you avoid this and still have good work ethic?

Yes, it is possible to be a good employee and avoid getting taken advantage of. Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

1. Set clear boundaries with your employer and don't be afraid to say no.
2. Prioritize your tasks and make sure you're making the most of your time.
3. Communicate regularly with your employer and make sure they're aware of your progress on your tasks.
4. Stay organized and try not to take on too much at once.
5. Make sure you're getting the recognition and reward that you deserve for your hard work.

Negotiate and charge what you're worth.

Leave behind bad bosses quickly, and always keep your eye out for opportunities.

Good bosses will fight to keep someone with good work ethic, and will make sure you're compensated fairly.

You are right about being taken advantage of. I have a good work ethic but no longer go the extra mile because I would just get screwed in the end.
