I work at a tech start up. It’s exhausting. Things are always changing and since it’s a smaller org, there’s the expectation that you have to give everything your all.
I’ve been in my role for two years and am about to graduate with an MBA. There’s still no talk of a promotion for me. I’m about to be 30 with no manager experience and I’m over qualified for my role.
I feel like I’ve put so much of myself into this job and all for what? For other people to tell me “you’re not ready” or “work on xyz”
I’m at the point I just want to do the bare minimum and be done for the day. But I’ll never get promoted if I do that.
I’m stuck and burnt out and so incredibly over the hierarchy and workplace norms.
Should I even bother trying to get promoted – just stick to bare minimum?
