What do you do when you feel that your co workers dont appreciate the job that you do?
When I ask for something why is it that they dont keep to deadlines but expect me to bend over backwards to support them. And that its my opinion thats always listened to last, and 99% of the time always discounted.
Try to be more assertive someone said to me, and when I did I was told that I came across as being aggressive as it was so out of character for me!
Don't they appreciate that my job is just as important as theirs!

I work with a couple of people who used to make me feel unappreciated. I had to change my mind set and focus on my job and not worry about them. There are selfish people out there and it's unfortunate we have to work with some of them. Do your job and do it the best you can. That in itself should make you feel good. :0)

I have a really good line manager in that she knows that there are some staff who have a problem with deadlines. She also knows that I am the kind of person who likes to draw a line under something and tick it off as done. I dont think that they they really appreciate the amount of work that I do and that their style of work really doesn't help me, infact it stresses me out ... not good!
I tried to change my way of working and tried the age old assertiveness quote of "when you do that it makes me feel" However a good tip that was given to me only the other day was to add onto the end of that sentence "so what are we going to do it". It's ok them knowing how I feel but when they keep on doing it thats when I start to feel unappreciated. Howwever by adding those extra few words it soon opens up a whole new topic of conversation!
