I’ve learned the hard way that the only reward for hard work is more work so lately I’ve been avoiding when possible. I used to pride myself in my ability to go above and beyond so that I’m prepared for any and all situations, but all that has led to is being a walking door mat. Now if I’m done with my work early I won’t say anything or if I know how to do something I won’t offer to help to anyone. My boss has mentioned that wants me to assist him with his work but since he’s been busy, he wants me to remind him to train me. I’ve casually “reminded” him 3 times during moments I knew he’d forget about and that’s it, I don’t plan on reminding him again. I know it’s work that could probably help me further my career in my field of work, but not only do I hate my work, I don’t actually care about advancing. As much as I’d like a bigger paycheck, I just don’t want more work or responsibilities. I’ve never been much of an ambitious person nor am I competitive. Part of me feels bad and ashamed because I (F30) feel like I should have a stable career at this point and shouldn’t be counting down the days to my weekend every week.
