Im fighting my work because I am an exceptional worker. I know everyone says that but I took a project that had 30% success rate, and flipped it to being a 70% success rate. This project I fixed makes my company 30 million dollars a year (no joke). I have received NO recognition for my involvement and that is driving me insane. I should receive a raise at least.
This sounds very frustrating, and I can imagine that you are not feeling valued. I strongly believe that having a sense that we are important and make a difference in our work is essential to feeling happy at your job. When I feel similar feelings to what you are going through, I try to take stock of what's important to me. If it is the recognition, it might be worth a conversation to express how you are not feeling valued in your role. Depending on the workplace, this isn't always communicated in the best possible way. In my experience, where possible, touching base and being open is usually an effective way to make sure all parties are on the same page.
@@violakarl6900 I actually ended up leaving because the gap between what was done for them vs what I should be making - we just couldn’t agree on terms so I left engineering to go work in IT. I think the best advice I could give like the OP said above is to come to an agreement on terms and conditions ahead of time..
I totally felt when you said being a first-time father, trying to juggle everything, while still being present. Sheesh. That's me in a nutshell right now.
It’s such a precious time. I now have two, and it’s been 5 years since I quit that job. Carving out my own definition of balance has changed my entire life. I still struggle with being present (call it conditioning from my last job), but my family is my world first and foremost. What are you doing for work right now? Do you have any plan for getting your work/life balance sorted out?
@@JoyfulThroughItAll I do research. Actually started that job right when my daughter was 4 months, so yeah a lot of learning and a lot of firsts. But this role has ended up draining me mentally and I'm planning on bringing it up tomorrow and trying to be clear that while interested in stay in the org I cannot continue on this certain project.
I told my boss I was unhappy. I explained why.. and knew there's nothing she could probably do anything about. Im.upset, though she told the other co-workers, I was unhappy. NOW! I got coworker saying I have an issue.. I must be going thru menopause......far from that,

Have you asked for that raise?
