Why do managers always preach "teamwork" and then a few of us work hard and the rest of them slack? Then when a hard worker complains, the managers don't like it.

Then I start to act bossy and I hate that. Any tips to keep quiet?

Yes but don't worry so much about the slackers. It will just make you miserable. Just do your job and go home with more money than them (if you waitress).

They all have their favorites. Ever notice the male managers always like the giggly flirty girls the best? Sickening, isn't it?
The managers always preach teamwork, then do nothing but sit on their behind and usually pig out!

Yeah!! They call it bit ching .........The managers don't really care who does the work as long as it gets done.....It makes them look good. If your gonna take up the slack for another employee and do their work they will usually let you. They don't want conflict...If you complain they actually have to deal with it.....when they say stop whining or bit ching you get mad walk away and do the work anyways.....right? Ive been the one doing all the side work for years..........But not anymore......heres how to stop
Don't do their work......do exactly what is expected of you and not one bit more.......if theres no assigned work ,split what does need to be done up between workers and only do your share...............don't give in cuz they will take advantage of the slightest give in!!! Tell your manager that you did blah blah and blah and your done and punching out....if he says you have to help tell him to ask the others what they have done..............suggest to him that there be assigned side work where every ones responsibilities are clear........

Unfortunately this is just the way the world works, my daughter finally walked out on her job in a restaurant because of this.
