I am expected to do all the work, but it is never recognized.

It sounds as if, subha12, as though you are being psychologically pressured into quitting your job. This is one of the many many tactics management is taught to cause someone to quit because they do not want to fire the person for a variety of legal and/or financial reasons. You are in a sticky situation. You may either ride it out and hope you outlast the people above you making your job and life miserable. Or you may just find another job then quit this one. Good luck subha12! *hugs*

Hi subha, please understand onething. Whenever you are expecting something from someone and not received the same you are getting disappointed. If you are not expect anything and doing your work honestly you will never feel sad. Also one more thing, being a PSU bank officer I am working even in all the sundays and holidays for the last three months because of some conversion of the data and others and was applauded and praise my higher ups and others, but when promotion chance had come my name was omitted whereas the persons who contributed not even 20 % of my work was given. Though they were telling bad about that persons they were promoted due to some high level recommendations. Still I was not worried, because I have heard about such incidents earlier also. In fact they were showing their sadness in me for not getting promotion. But this year I got, because I contributed to the maximum and they could not drop me. Anyhow whenever you are working more the benefit to you is more than that of the institution, it is my experience.

Hi, it's so sad that you're not enjoy your work. Do you have to stay there ? Why not trying to get another one ? Or start your own business, you may start it online like in this site and find another one, or take some freelance jobs while looking for another one. Enjoy your life dear, live your best life. Regards :)

It may have to do with your personality. Sometimes quiet and efficient worker just do not get recognised, the boss assumes that she is happy with her work and not aiming for promotion. And when in department meeting, the person who talks a lot tend to give better impression, at least show interest. While the quiet one who speaks when asks give boss the impression that she is not interested in the discussion at all. So if you are the quiet type, try to speak out, and try to have some good suggestions in meetings even when you are not asked to speak.

Hi lotter iam not a working woman like you ,iam a housewife but my situation is the same as yours,i am also expected to do all the work in house ,in parties,marriages or any other occassions in the family ,but when the time of credit comes ,no body gives me the credit,every one call it as my duty ,it hurts na,a single word of appreciation inspires to do more work. happy my lotting

If you still want to stay there. I guess you better love what you're doing. Just dont do it because it was instructed to you. You do it because you believe that it will make you a better person at the end. Successful people are those who have been at the bottom. Be optimistic. god bless.

get a new job somewhere else, it seems you are never going to be recognized there.

This is a miserable working condition and I think you really need to put your foot down now. They have now started to take you for granted and you must not take it anymore now. You are so capable and your talent I think will better flourish somewhere else. However, having said this, we all think that grass is greener on the other side. Its better to look changeover and from day 1 bell the cat.

It is the same old story for juniors in the office. You have to be patient your day will come sooner or later. Best of luck!

Did you request a copy of your job duties? That is the very first thing one should do when hired for a job. If you do not ask for this, they will most definitely take advantage of you, mark my word. Make it crystal clear that you want a copy, and also make it crystal clear that people need to start doing their fair share of work around there, that you are swamped and can not get your own work done. If your immediate supervisor refuses to do anything about it, go over his or her head, to HIS or HER supervisor. Keep going higher and higher if you have to. In the mean time, I would look for a job elsewhere because ti obviously sounds like you are burnt out from the excessive workload. Always, always, always get a copy of your job description, and if someone asks you to do something that is not on that job description, you have a right to say, "I do not mind helping out this one time, but please do not make a habit of it. I have my own work to do, and this is not on my job description, and it is keeping me from being productive in my department." Or you can say, "I really would love to help you, but I am unable to at this moment." You do not owe them an explanation as to why, unless it is a supervisor. A third option would be to see if they would not mind helping you with one of your tasks - a fair trade. If they decline helping you, then you decline helping them; fair is fair.

It is really sad that you not not treated well in the office. There is one very important word in the organization that is learn to say no to people. You have to show them what you are and what you can do for them. Prove your worth and make them realize the same. With dirty politics setting in the company, you need to be really active and smart. Happy Mylotting!!!

Sometimes we really felt sad thinking that administration or administrators are unfair. The best thing to do however is to do our best and show them we can make what others can. I was also puzzled before in sales why those who have made more sales were the one being given all the oppurtunities instead of those who were not able to make sales. Yes all the praises and all the recognitions but of course they did a good job, I understand. We feel these top sellers are always welcome, they are always being accomodated, always sweet to the big bosses. We took it however as a challenge. Every incentive given to these top sellers motivate us to strive more and be on top as well. When we recieve all of those incentives, recognitions, praises, special accomodations and everything, I just fully understand everything. So, just be patient and be positive,do your best and soon you'll realize, It's nice to be on top and getting all the reward and incentives for being one.

This is a common occurrence on many jobs. Depending on how much experience you have it can work to your advantage when looking for another job. Do you think it is worth it to continue to work there? If you are miserable perhaps you should look for something else.

This is not the new thing and only happen with you so try to think positive and do your work hard with dedication because hard work always give good returns.

I know how you feel about it friend. Same thing happened to me also. I am depromoted from a salary of Rs 12,000 to Rs 9,000 while some others were promoted from Rs 12,000 to Rs 14,000. There are people in the world who are very smart and knows what to talk and what to talk. Some people are always favorite of the top people. Some people get paid more for less work they do. Some people gets everything in their life fame, money, popularity, etc. While some others work hard and gets nothing just frustration in their life. You know what I am feeling I am feeling very down at this moment due to the depromotion. I feel like a joker right now in the office.

Congrats Subha for reaching 15000 posts. I could understand your feelings, and same is the problem with my boss also, even though i work in an Governmental organization. Extract work to the fullest from those who do work, and give promotion to those whom they liked so, is the trend every where. Cheers Subha, I have got myself accustomed to these kind of strolls in my office, and oflate enjoying life as it comes. Take care friend and have a good day. Saivenkat

If it is that big of an issue and it seems to me like it is then you might want to start looking elsewhere for employment. I had a similar experience when I first started working during my college days. I was putting in several hours doing many things for many people and they would always take the credit for my work. It wasn't long beofre I left that job and went elsewhere.

Maybe it's the right for you to leave them and look for another job. are they giving you benefits or bonuses for your hard work? or maybe the guy had the same experience as you are having recently before he got to work on another site. be patient and I am sure you will get your turn and be recognized. have a great day.

Hi Subha, did you step on someone toes? If not, they won't react like this but good news for you. This thing won't happen like as if like accident and it is a good time for you to search for a new opportunity. This is a good sign for you to explore the outside world and have yourself prepare for this moment. Happy Mylotting. :0)

Well this happens sometimes even to me. Sometimes our efforts go without recognition and appreciation. This will make one demotivate and loose interest in work. Employees should be recognized and organizations should make this point.
