Unappreciated - For the Last Time

Do you have one of those jobs…

… where you’re the workhorse but you get zero credit? Well I happen to have one of those. I work with a team of people, and yet I am the only one that doesn’t gets any recognition for doing the job right.

WTF?!

I’m not the one screwing stuff up, but I get the wrath when they fail. Out of a team of 12, I am the only one that’s not being recognized. At first thought you’d think, much as I did, that my work isn’t up to par, or I’ve made some big mistakes. That’s not it.

I bust my ass just as hard as everyone else, and in some cases harder. I am the only person who does what I do, and I’m the first one overlooked.

Meritocracy?

Fuck that. Apparently merit is given not earned within this company. I am going to look for another job where I’ll be unappreciated at a better pay scale.

Is there a job where you are appreciated? Could it be.. it’s not possible. This is madness. I quit!

As the old adage goes, “Rising to the level of their incompetence.” Try being a little more incompetent and see where that gets you. :)

Well, I guess we should be happy to have a job right now, since the economy has gone to shit and layoffs have become as common as carnies not having teeth.

But I want more too dammit!

We really aren’t meant to run the wheel. I say down with the rat race!

No shite,
That really bites.
It does seem that this happens at a lot of companies.
I myself see it everyday at my job too.
hang in there, it will get better.
