How to Avoid Extra Work Without Being a Bum
Office deadlines: miss them and, you’re in trouble. Beat them and you get extra work. What’s an employee to do?
Here’s one strategy: when given work on a deadline, do it as soon as possible but don’t hand it in until the deadline. This way you are free of the stress of the job, but won’t be given extra (and often unnecessary) work. For bonus points, hand it in on your way out the door the day before it’s due.
