I would send an email to my boss at 4 AM, giving her/him updates on the project(s).
EVERY TIME, both bosses would respond immediately.
Dear Bosses,
If you’re lazy and have terrible work ethics but you’re looking for employees who’ll be hardworking and give their best, you’re not ready to own a generational business. You lead by example, they follow.
My reward for working hard/smart and doing extra came as a brand new car in my name but that wasn’t the main reward. It was the fact that they began to leave so much to me that I gained so much experience in a short time.
Employees: The experience you gain while working is forever yours. No one is USING YOU, good bosses who demand better from you are mostly DOING YOU A FAVOUR, you’ll see.
