I have been working for this company for just under a year and a half. A few months after I started, we almost had a 100% turnover, but I stayed and did the work of almost 5 people and doing so much out of my comfort zone. When more people got hired, I helped train and guided almost every single one. I’ve continued to help other as much as I possibly can. I’ve had almost the longest tenure here, which honestly should tell me something.
Today I found out that someone else got promoted. I mean, you’d think I would learn by now. This has happened at almost every job I’ve had: I’m recognized as one of the hardest, most reliable workers, but someone else always gets credited. This is the last hit I needed to get myself to begin doing the bare minimum required. I’m officially done trying.
