I’m at the UPA conference today through friday and frankly folks, it’s a wonderful little break from the overly competitive and antagonistic environment that work has been lately. I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly sensitive, but I put together a really well-thought-out survey to send to our customers and 1) only one person I send it to reviews it (she gives me a great review, which is awesome, because she is awesome) 2) the people who don’t take the time to review it because they’re too busy being self-absorbed forget about it and don’t give me credit 3) all credit goes to the new guy who smiles excessively 4) a certain person is always picking on me and antagonizing me, which makes me feel like crap.
crap it gets to me.
crap crap crap crap crap.
I feel like the bastard stepchild.
The keynote speaker at the conference talked about the importance of managers empowering their employees to do good work. Two weeks ago when I was assigned this silly assignment, I was excited and I took it very seriously. Then I get half-thought-out criticism, in addition to just plain people not acknowledging my efforts at all.
It makes me want to scream. Then leave. Know of any opportunities? Drop me a line. Seriously.
