Why am i so worthless?
The story
so i was just sitting there, you know, trying to do my job, when suddenly i hear these whispers from the corner of the office; nothing too clear but definitely about some project. a project i clearly wasn't part of. what the hell?! it's like i'm invisible... totally excluded!!! sometimes it feels like all the work i've been busting my ass on gets stuffed into a black hole or something because no one seems to care or even notice. everyone else gets pats on the back and high-fives while i'm just... here. doing my job, yeah sure, but for what??? there's always this feeling gnawing in the back of my head - "am i really that useless?"
it's not like i'm slacking off or anything: every day it's meetings about KPIs and deliverables and making sure everything aligns with 'corporate objectives'. hell, i spend so much time ensuring all those stupid targets are met! yet who gets acknowledged? definitely not me. ughhh it's exhausting. one small anecdote... last month we wrapped up a major campaign (one i'd basically carried) and as usual, nada recognition. just crickets. makes you wonder if you're gonna be stuck as a background character forever huh?! why is it always someone else getting credit??? 😂😂 maybe i'm cursed lol.
