I work with a couple guys that basically aim to do as little as possible in as much time as possible.

I'm a millenial and it seems i've become a boomer, telling these guys to stop building cardboard towers as everyone notices and will tell their supervisor. Then they get angry with me for some weird ass reason while they just spent 3 days doing one hour worth of work.

Our supervisor wants me to get them to work better, but it's 4 of them and one of me.

I understand the mindset that it's the employers task to supply you with work, but there's plenty y'all just refuse to pick it up and get at it.

are you the manager? if not it ain't your problem, and now you have a valid excuse if your stuff doesn't get done. My work tried that shut with me, I just do my work, then leave, if everything isn't done that's a management problem.

Either you're their manager/supervisor and it's your job to figure it out, or you aren't, and you shouldn't give a shit.

That's nice. Not going to happen but he can want it as much as he wishes.

I have a manager who is a bit like this and expects me to do a lot of his job for him (I mean he is useless), but the thing is if he doesn't do his job, he gets in trouble. If I don't do his job bugger all happens to me.

What incentivises them to do more work in less time? How much autonomy or input do they have on deciding what tasks need to be done, and when?
