Hey everyone, I need some advice on a tricky situation at work. 🤔 So, my boss keeps pushing me to do more work because I’m faster and better at it than my coworkers. Yet, despite exceeding the set rate consistently, I’m not getting any recognition or a raise. Meanwhile, some of my coworkers who do less than me are making more money. 😕
I feel like I’m being taken advantage of here, and it’s really starting to get to me. Has anyone else been in a similar situation before? How did you handle it?
Here are some potential solutions that I’ve been considering:
– Have a candid conversation with my boss about my performance and compensation
– Document my achievements and contributions to bring to the table
– Consider looking for opportunities elsewhere if the issue persists
What do you guys think? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! Let’s help each other out. 💪 #SupportEachOther #WorkplaceAdvice
The let them fire you while you find a new job in the meantime.
If you’re really so much more talented and higher performing than others usually that would mean you’ll get promoted more quickly, as long as there wasn’t some other issue like a toxic personality. So promotions or performance-based bonuses and raises are how the higher comp comes, usually in the performance review process not just when people randomly ask. It can take some time though.
One other thing to consider is that it’s possible you’re performing well on some portions of the job but not others, so there’s a disconnect there. As an example, it’s not uncommon for folks to crush their metrics but struggle in teamwork or soft-skills in a way the strength gets washed out by the issues. Open conversations with your manager and actively listening to feedback is important here.
If you really don’t think performance will be rewarded where you are, you should likely find another job. But be cautious as the reality is many people don’t like working with others that aren’t willing to give their full effort and come across as lazy or not really trying so that issue may repeat.
You should only be giving 70-80% effort at work all the time. Only give 100% when it really matters. I would recommend looking for a new job or talking to your boss about a raise, showing data etc. on why they need to give you one. Still look for a new job though because they will expect 100% from you going forward. Just learn to never do 100%. Do what is expected, no more and no less. Then when it really matters and counts, go over the top.
I’d be like bye bitch
Your boss is bad and you’re experiencing the peter’s principles. Time to plan your next move.
Look for a new job. If you constantly outperform, then you’ve outgrown this company and can work anywhere.
Threatening you job is a definite I am out of here. They can make good on the threat and you are left out in the cold begging for another job. Find another job and let his other employees pick up the slack.
Time to update your resume and test your interview skills.
Bide your time while you look for another job. It sounds like your boss needs more production, so he’s trying to pile it on his one good worker without making it worth it for you. He’ll figure out his mistake when/if you give notice. Please don’t accept a counter offer from them when you do. Nothing will change.
How old are you OP? If you’re young, take it as a learning opportunity to hide your power level unless you’re paid.
I always tell my juniors that you never really “lose” responsibilities until you become senior, you just get more work added on you, so don’t work at 100% unless you’re ok working at 120% the next year.
Case in point, I had a junior pull all nighters to rush out work for the boss the next day. Was impressive but I explained to him that its not that I couldn’t do that, its that its not neccesarry to finish it that fast and you’re setting the bar too high for yourself.
Now, 3 years later, he expected to do one day turnarounds as a his baseline on top of all his extra work and now he’s frustrated at his workload.
Dust off the resume,gtfo of there
Start taking your sweet time
Start looking for another job. You may waste your entire career if you stay in a place where there is no objectivity and fairness. You may end up doing even doing the work that results in promotion of the deadbeat workers hired for any reason really other than skillset and value.
To be a fly on the wall of this conversation..
Methinks there’s a lot more to this story.
“Quiet quitting” is when you reduce your effort to the absolute minimum of your job description and focus on your personal life, your hobbies, and the search for a new job.
Unless you’re gunning for a promotion, this is how EVERYONE outside patient care should be working. Save your hustle for your housework, working out, and your loved ones. Life is too short to live it for your job.
