You Work Hard in Your Office; Overtime, Weekends, and Early Mornings. You Get Paid Well, but You Realize Your Coworkers Get Paid the Same as You Do, Though They Do Not Put in the Effort You Do. Some Have Even Been Promoted Ahead of You.

If you are working hard and putting in time and overtime away from your number one responsibility (which to me is family) and are not getting noticed, then you only have two decisions from my point of view. You can either A) continue to work hard and hope that it is recognized or you can B) Look for another job. Slacking off can guarantee you fired or negative attention. If you get the negative it is too late to show the positive so you are not going to get promoted anyway. Rolling your eyes and treating your co workers differently is not going to help you in any way get noticed by the boss. That is going to start talk with your co workers that is also going to result negatively and they are going to hate you.

With that being said, you can continue to work this job if you like it and you are alright with the pay that you are receiving. Maybe one day the boss will notice and maybe they won’t, but either way you are doing something you like and you are doing it to your best ability. That is what you should be happy about! If you don’t like the job and just took it in hopes to advance, it is time to look for another one or give your boss an updated resume with the position that you are hoping to acquire. Maybe that will give them the extra push they need to recognize your determination and skills and commitment to their company. Either way, you have to make the decision.

If I want to advance, I will at that time put a resume in for that position and articulate clearly my interest to my boss. I will never hope they recognize me and my work. I know what I signed up for. This is only my opinion and I realize that others will be
