I’m tired of being humiliated at work and watching other people get credit for what I do
I think I finally hit my limit this week.
My manager already has this habit of calling out my mistakes in front of everyone. Even tiny things that could be a 2 minute private conversation somehow become a whole discussion in meetings.
But recently something happened that bothered me way more.
I worked on a project for months. I did most of the actual work, stayed late when things went wrong, handled all the changes, basically lived with this thing until it was finished.
Then came the presentation to senior management.
My manager took over and suddenly everything became “I did this”, “my approach”, “I decided we should…”
Someone senior literally praised him for a part I had built from scratch.
He said “thank you.”
I was sitting right there.
Then a few days later I made a small mistake on something completely unrelated and THAT got called out in front of everyone.
So apparently my mistakes have my name on them, but my good work doesn’t.
That really messed with me.
I recently started pursuing an MBA through distance learning alongside work because I want to move ahead, but lately I come home so mentally exhausted that even studying feels impossible.
I keep telling myself to ignore it, collect the salary and focus on getting out. But being treated like this every day is starting to get to me. The worst part is I really need this job, i cant let go.
