So I've just logged of my system and came to know about this Antiwork group on Reddit and realise what I did wrong.
To explain let me take you back in 2019 when I joined a MNC and due to my to much freaking focus on work my assistant manager moved me in a department where I have to check and give resolution to client escalation.
At first everyone at my workplace were quite surprised that I was moved in suck in complicated process however I took it as challenge and worked my ass off to sort out everything. I had 3 other team members and we all were just working fine until COVID hit us and we started WFH. At first we all were happy that we'll be working from home and everyone used that liberty pretty well but as time passed things started to get a bit complicated.
Since all of us were working in shift, my friends would login and logoff within time as per shift and stay no extra hours however I don't know what TF happened to me due this WFH time and I started to put extra 1-2 hours every fuckin day. My sleep pattern changed too and most days i would wake up at 2-3am in morning to find out that I still have time to sleep. And still I make sure that everything is done on time and never showed up my manager that I'm pushing myself to make sure everything worked out well in our department.
Coming to last couple of months. My colleague started to take me for granted and would expect me to login 1-2hr early and would just take a break of hr or 2 stating they're tired and I would work. This was actually seen by couple of other team members as well and they asked me let the work go and login as per work shift cause my colleague are all seniors and they don't give a shit about any work backlog. One of my colleague could barely write or understand any escalation however now he has been promoted cause he was close to management and would lick their shoe and backstab others in front of management. My other colleague is also promoted who infact is good and asked me that I should've been the one who should've got this promotion cause I guide both of them for every issue they face however I don't have any grudge against my colleague and wish them best of luck for their new role.
Coming to this week of month. All the work burden is now upon me and when I asked my supervisor to train someone else cause this work require atleast a team of 3-4 people his response was sloppy and said we're looking for someone. They're expecting me to keep extending my shift from morning 9am to 9pm every single day so I resolve every escalation for time being without any OT pay cause when anyone ask for overtime pay the company reply only 1 thing saying you should be lucky you're having food on your table. What once was considered to be challenging job is boring for me now. It's been more than a year I've been putting extra efforts and what my supervisor told me during annual review left me suprised. He said I'm expecting you to do some multitasking as well since you've been doing same thing for 2yrs straight and your job is monotonous which is not that challenging. When he said that I realise how dumb I've been for last 2yrs skipping my meal, my leaves just to make sure I complete every work given to me.
I could barely even have my breakfast or lunch everyday. The moment I get of system there is some query or escalation me being stupid idiot ignore the food or friends just to make sure I complete my work. Adding to this i applied for a leave (which I barely do) due to personal reasons so my new supervisor started asking me questions like where are you going, why you need the leave and stuff. I was thinking wtf is actually happening here, these are my leaves I do whatever I want whoever I meet or just sleep all day, why the fuck someone question me just cause you're hitting backlog in work and you're not willing to highlight it to manager or train someone on time.
Anyone out there facing the same situation or been through this? I could really use some useful tips from someone who's experienced these thing and dealt with it as well. Should I start working as per my shift and take my hourly break as well cause I've set a expectations to a fuckin stupid level. I wish I found out about this group earlier instead of memes (shit I like memes too).
Note: I'm 26 and this is my 2nd job. Not too connected with job, it's just my nature to complete all my assigned work on time before logoff.
