There's not too many of you, but damn, you are infuriating to work with.
Glad to let you know luckily most of us up here are the same were not all a bunch of pansy push overs
My boss asked me to help in the warehouse tomorrow and I said "no way", was I right?

I wouldn't be expecting any progression if I didn't do a favour once in a while. Won't go far just working to rule.

Looking at thread history posted a couple of pages back I can only assume that the op hates it there......all he does is whinge lol.
Office too hot, office too cold, boss not doing this.....
Times are hard at the moment, for most companies.
The company I work for is quite big, but we are going through a quiet period at the moment and to keep people in work, they have everybody doing totaly different jobs than their usual ones.
We have even had Managers help out in the warehouse, its rare, but ive seen them do it.

When i was working, i once got asked to help clean a large workspace and dismantle working areas as another contract would be relocating to the space we occupied.
I refused, simply because it's not my job, doesn't make me any less of a hard worker, nor does it make me lazy.

well I was given none and told to get on with it, I'm doing fine.
No, you're just lazy.
I'm injured in some way doing said cleaning, Claim goes in, i get money people lose their jobs.
You injure yourself and your company won't be.
In other words your not interested in doing anything other than sitting on your arse.
I think a lot of people in this thread are getting the wrong end of the stick, I personally have worked in warehouses for years doing manual stuff and driving fork lifts etc, and I've been in IT for the last 3 years - its nothing to do with being difficult if his job is ****ty , its got every thing to do with his working environment, swings and roundabouts as they say.
It sounds like he feels he doesn't get much respect from his manager so why would he help out? You could say the management set themselves up for his refusal.
On the other side of the coin, in a healthy team environment, where people feel valued, no one is going to refuse helping out, especially if they are not busy with their own work.
Personally, treat me well and make me feel valued, and I will bend over backwards in times of need, treat me like a mug, and you will see the complete opposite attitude.

As much as I disliked the Italians for ruining Creda/Hotpoint, I'll never forget the day when the boss was actually on an assembly line helping to build the cookers himself.
A few months later at dinnertime, he would march around 20 suits out of the offices down to packing where they would pack cookers for 30 minutes.
It was quite funny to see around 200 workers watching them for entertainment value.
After a year it was normal to see a suit come out of the office and asked to work on the assembly lines.
OP -
As much as you think you've got a 'contract' I would start looking for another job if you're not willing to help out.
I'll be very surprised if there isn't something in your contract that says 'and to help out where necessary' like mine does.

I think it's clear from his posts that's not the reason though. If it is though I would agree.
It's completely different to cleaning, cleaning isn't time critical for the average business, having a lorry sat in the warehouse is.
Thanks for identifying yourself as another "that guy" in the workplace.

Thing is, by mucking in, you're just getting the poor management out of the ****. Let the job fail, then maybe management will learn to be less ****?
