If you find your employer to be an asshat and especially also the employees do you game the system?

I worked for a local chain, only here in Denver, and I worked as a food runner.
The hourly pay was regular and we got a portion of tips from servers, we did have to run 99% of food, but in general it was run in large part by asshats who where obnoxious. However I did speed up sorts of things to make my tips higher and still allowed me to dodge work and pass the shaft.
For the short time I was there I did work tons of hours and sports games where things where busy and even got scheduled by myself a lot, one thing I hated was being asked to do prep for the cart and having people who can't keep up on that or something. Plus I hated the food runner I worked with most but not any of the other ones or anyone else who helped, expect the retard kitchen manager who everyone hated and dodged somehow. (he fucked stuff up the most)
so I did half assed prep things that made things fast for me, maybe prepping salsa bowls for just grabbing and running, but i also didn't like throwing out perfectly good salad dressings that where going to be used anyway and having to prep that shit. also some of them where prepped in easy to dump in plastic things.
I changed dates. Some of this stuff wouldn't go bad for a very long time of course anyway, i mean carrots and celery in water? holy shit i hated to do cut those and deal with their inefficient food runners having to prep shit and gamed the system to allow for less food waste, and stuff to make me not have to set the whole thing up but for shit to fall apart and be totally set up for shifts. One food runner was always like "Well I was going to set up but everything is done for a change"
I know, I orchestrated it that way. things could be made to look full and then when it was time to condense or run out of almost all the servings things of ranch back to back to back, because they get half used and changed and then reduced so that someone will notice we need to get set up again well after I leave, or even just allow nature to run its course how it is somehow because It will definitely be set up on my next shift. well after people who would tell me to do it leave and as soon as I get told I am cut for the day, bam, marry the carrots and celeries, or whatever and get the fuck outta dodge.

I recently ran into issues with both people and morals. I worked as a computer programmer for 13 hospitals. I basically designed custom software for them. After seeing the databases, doctors, nurses and how things run it made me realize that hospitals are nothing more than a corporation. They give 2 shits about anyone. It's sad really. There is no money in cures.
They administer tests you don't need based on your insurance status, They use treatments they know don't work and they prolong death to drain money. After I was aware of all this I made the decision to quit.
I made great money and they offered me more money. They truly didn't get it. I told them to take their money and shove it up their ass.
Since I have left the stress and worry has completely subsided. There is no way I am changing my beliefs or bending my morals for a little bit of money. no way.

I worked in an office long before the food runner job, and got paid 11, which seemed nice until I realized the job was worth more. Some drama happened but either way I ensured that I could screw around and game the system because I was to supervise all these properties who the agents usually got screwed on because they would do the running aorund in hopes of a contract, mostly stuff got sent to auction.
it meant I went from 300% increase in productivity to 800% and doing even less work. I had invested in cross checking stuff so that I could make my reports look nice and not have to change them later, because I knew when stuff came in I had predone it because no one checks my database stuff but me, and I had ways of chipping away at work and controlling the flow of other people for maximum efficiency and me being away and out of my desk as much as possible and still dumping work on them.

That happened to me to. I started as a contractor there. It was worth it then because I was paid hourly. Once I got on full time and salary... fucked! When I left my short weeks were around 65-70 hrs. and on call 24-7.

I basically made my life as easy as I could and I got good money if I was really slave driven because I would be all by myself and shaft their ass on the prep work and even with others I was making things faster, I would fix it for overall speed in rushes, then alter things, and that meant being strategic and using downtimes to rip the rush a new one and then dump the extra dishes on the dishwasher because I would prep the really important things extra so I could leave the cart alone, and then burn it out when needed along with the extra stuff, fill up the salsa thing instead of changing it, then almost run out of whats on the cart and get the hell outta dodge when asked to leave

Maybe if they where doing shit right in the first place, I wouldn't have to manipulate them and pass the shaft. I would always laugh when I knew this one clown Victor was getting on a shift and I set it up so he blasts through and finds that two half empty of whatevers, equal the one he uses means total meltdown of the food runner station to have to do at the end of the night and I always made it so worst case scenario I could do it all half assed on my own shift just to get by and pass the shaft
