Antiwork

I just had my yearly review and although it wasn’t bad I still am not receiving a promotion that has been dangled in front of me since I started at the company 2 years ago. I keep getting told it’s because of my lack of attention to detail but my job role has shifted greatly. I have had to learn several different roles while working remotely across global time zones. I have also had issues with my managers bad leadership as I feel they do not treat me with respect and constantly pick at me and create hostility to where other people have noticed and I’ve had to have had HR step in.

For some context, I'm a recent engineering grad who works as a very small specialized engineering firm. I have been working at this company for around 5 months and I found that I was doing a good job coping with the transition to full time work. I was given the opportunity to lead a project after about 2 months of being at this company. I knew that it would look good on my resume so I accepted, even though I was hesitant about the new workload. Fast forward 3 months and I know lead around 2 projects, one of which being one that will “redefine the company”, while also being an engineer for other projects. They cause so much stress and I find myself doing more project leading than actual engineering. I was casually talking with my manager last week with whom I have a good relationship with. I was…

Say this to employers. They said it to us for 100 years.
