I'm just frustrated.
Me and my partner work for the same company. I used to love it here until major leadership changes led to my work becoming unbearable and led to extended stress leaves, exacerbation of mental health issues and physical disabilities.
And yet my partner, who (unlike my team) makes the company money directly (sales) and doesn't mind kissing ass and faking corporate bs to get ahead, has seen mutiple promotions, big raises, awards, etc.
I hate this. Why can't my work speak for me and give me the same opportunities. Why do I have to drink the bullshit corporate koolaid and/or directly generate revenue to be valued. I honestly don't think I can do this for another 15 years. And it's causing me to resent my partner even though I know it's completely unfair to them
Don't get me wrong. I'm proud of what they've accomplished. But I can't stand them gushing about work when the same company in a different area has shown that my team doesn't matter, our work isn't valued, and has actively alienated large amounts of experienced employees.
