What happens when you ask someone to do their job.

Got this tidbit from my gf yesterday:

I just had someone tell me that the thing I was asking them to is "a colossal pain-in-the-ass" and "bureacracy at its finest."

The think she was asking them to do? Write their (long-overdue) work study student evaluations. As happens every semester.

Translation: "I've left it waaaaay too late (probably not the first time) and now I don't feel like doing it at all so I'm going to make you the EEEBIL drone for reminding me to do what I'm supposed to."

yeah but as you said... it is their job.

And the reply to that is "And so is processing your payrole."

My response to such a statement would have been, "Well, we can arrange for you not to have to worry about it after today. How long will it take for you to clean out your work space?"

And unfortunately, I have had to say such a thing on more than one occasion. So far, everyone got the message and did their respective work.

not to mention... they punish students for turning in work late .. so why should they be exempt?
