Title says it all. I’ve worked for this person tirelessly and for long without any expectations in return.
But 2 months ago, I was approached requesting me to make a case for my promotion. With my financial situation, I grasped at the opportunity and set high expectations for myself for the first time ever. I deserved this promotion and was elated at being recognized.
But then it didn’t happen. I realized the following… I was the fall guy for another deserving candidate.
I am tired of being the problem solver, the nice guy. I am tired of being paid less than a fresh graduate. I am disappointed in myself.
