Manager refuses to assign warehouse worker an assistant to help with heavy lifting, leading worker to spend the entire shift with their arms crossed: ‘I didn’t move an inch’

When you've been at your job long enough, it becomes easier to stand your ground in front of your bosses. When you finally get to the point in which you proved your worth and can see just how much the company will suffer without you, that allows you more space to negotiate your position.

Setting aside the obvious options, like asking for a raise or a promotion, being a valuable asset to the company also means you can start saying 'no' to things. If at first, you agreed to anything that was thrown your way, simply so that your boss would be happy with you, once you've done your time, you can start setting up some much-needed boundaries to ensure you are not doing anything you are not supposed to, or that is beneath your pay grade.

The consequences of standing your ground in this matter can vary, but since you know your worth, you can rest assured that you will not get fired. It's actually more likely that the company would try to accommodate you even more if they knew something happened to displease you.
