introvert employee things
Need ko lang ilabas kasi medyo masakit pala pag nangyari sayo personally.
I’ve been in my role for a while now. Tahimik lang akong employee pero ako yung tipo na taga-ayos ng processes, sumasalo ng issues, at usually maaasahan pag may kailangang ayusin behind the scenes. Recently, nadagdagan kami ng tao sa team and management decided na dapat may mag-lead. At hindi ako yung napili
What makes it sting more is ako pa yung nag-turnover ng process sa bagong kasama. Hanggang ngayon sakin siya nagtatanong about workflows and concerns kasi ako talaga yung pinaka-familiar sa system and process namin. Ang feedback sakin is “okay naman daw ako pero tahimik.” And honestly, I think yun yung masakit for me. Hindi naman ako yung tipo na sobrang ambitious or naghahabol ng titles/corporate ladder. Pero siguro deep inside, naisip ko lang na if magkaroon man ng leadership role eventually, baka naturally ako na yun because of the experience and knowledge I built over the years.
Gets ko naman na leadership roles minsan mas preferred nila yung mas outspoken or visible. Wala naman akong galit dun sa napili. Pero ang weird sa feeling na ikaw yung may pinakaalam operationally, ikaw nagturo, ikaw yung go-to person… pero parang hindi pa rin enough.
Parang corporate life really rewards visibility more than consistency sometimes.
This year has been rough already, so napapaisip tuloy ako if sign na ba ito na kailangan ko na ng bagong environment. Nakakapagod din pala maging “reliable but quiet” employee kasi minsan invisible ka hanggang kailangan ka nila
