I work in the design department at a big fancy global firm, and it's safe to say that we get treated like a bunch of low rats.
I was just scrolling through my LinkedIn when I came across a picture of most of the people in my workplace at a big fancy event receiving awards on stage and the only person who went from my department was the head of design.
And there were a bunch of people who didn't need to be there if I wasn't there, I finished my probation last week and I would say oh okay so maybe I'm just too new to be considered a part of the team but no, there's people in my department who's worked here for almost a decade and they weren't there either and it's just put a huge dent to my ego.
We put in way more work and hours than any other department and for what? This really opened my eyes to Idek what, I know this is how the corporate world works but this is my first ever first hand experience. I feel disrespected and degraded on a whole new level and I'm honestly just aiming to quit as I cross my one year here. I'm immediately getting back to freelancing and figure something out so I never have to work for someone who look down on me.
