Today was the first time in my 7 year long career that I shed a tear.
Firstly I would like to say I am very grateful of my job. I have been polishing my career in the IT industry really well. I am always described as the go to guy.
Heres when the stuff goes bad. I work in a 2/3rd support analyst. Usually its fine and bearable with stuff being crammed down our throats. My colleagues are under a lot of pressure because of last minute projects etc. So I decided to assist them. Only issue is that I took on more than I can chew. Fast forward 2 months its been the most intense period of my work life. Constantly working overtime stressed. But then I finally managed to complete one of the projects.
Got into a call with my manager expecting a little appreciation but instead was scolded. I had to stand my ground so I was defending myself that I took the task to assist my colleagues but he was busy complaining that it took so long. Then he said you are getting the highest pay in our team I expect better.
After that call i just went outside for a smoke and got teary. I feel like shit. I think its time for me to move on.
