      If either one of you were my employee, you wouldn't last long. I would terminate your employment as soon as your poor work ethic became apparent. If your employment contract specifies you are paid a salary for working 40 hours a week, I expect you to be doing your assigned tasks for each and every one of those 40 hours. If you're an hourly employee, I don't expect you to claim you worked 40 hours when you only worked 37. In either case, once you complete an assignment, you should ask for the next. I shouldn't have to baby you along, asking if you're done before I give you another one. If I don't have an immediate assignment for you, I expect you to be doing something which is of benefit to the company. If you're not meeting these requirements, you're a thief.

      He finished the task he was assigned to. He deserves a promotion or a salary raise because he is proficient and quick. If you force the employee do more that he was assigned in the same time, you steal from him. Who is the thief then?

        There is work to do for tomorrow. He finished today's work. If he works more than he is being paid it is like charity work.

          It sounds very attractive. Me and my colleague are given similar tasks. I finish it early. He can not. Why should I be treated the same? It is obvious that I am superior.

              how about some sincere words of wisdom like telling the manager that I have completed the job and get the new task and tell him that I would start working on it from tomorrow. P.S. That's what I did

                He just said he doesn't want to do more work. How do you not see that this is laziness?

                Not at all. It shows he is hard-working. He worked harder to finish his work in less time than supposed!

                            Yes, it is strange, indeed. You are programmers. You should be on the programmer's side. Instead, you seem to be on the side of the man who forgot / never knew how to code (the boss).

                                If you consistently finish your tasks sooner, then you should be awarded a pay rise. That's the way the system works, not with time off.

                                    If you are not a programmer, what are you doing on a programming site? I personally know lots of bosses. They do mainly administrative work.

                                        If you are not a programmer, what are you doing on a programming site? I personally know lots of bosses. They do mainly administrative work.

                                        I am both a company owner, and a coder. I've probably been coding longer than you've been alive - that gives me the right to be on a programming site, and being a boss I have more perspective on what employers expect than you seem to.

                                          He finished the task he was assigned to. He deserves a promotion or a salary raise because he is proficient and quick. If you force the employee do more that he was assigned in the same time, you steal from him. Who is the thief then?

                                          What are you on? If he has finished his job he has the moral obligation to ask for more. End of story. His job has to be done proficiently and quick. This is why he was hired at first place. This is like asking for extra money for doing the job well... so what? I have had tons of work to do and if one of my workers finishes the part I've assigned him he has to ask for more. I'll give him a little bit more, and I'll decide if it's time to work in other projects, if he has to learn any other / new technology or whatever, but of course he has to work all the contract hours as his contract specifies...
