Reddit user Bobcat734 says he knows this all too well. Speaking to the platform’s r/AntiWork community, the disillusioned employee claims he eventually ended up responsible for multiple roles’ responsibilities.

So, to test how the rest of the company would pick up the slack, he says he stopped going the extra mile. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t pretty!
