Readit NewsWith self-serving advertblogs like this, I always imagine that Simpsons episode where Bart has a pot on his head and is banging two pans together, yelling "I AM SO GREAT, I AM SO GREAT, EVERYBODY LOVES ME, I AM SO GREAT!" lol
English is not my first language so I trusted AI for my article.
I will study better this behavior
The best time to document isn’t two weeks before leaving. It’s right now.
But even more, why a small employee in his right mind would make himself replaceable for the good of the company...
yes, english is not my first language, so I use AI to helping me structure the article, but I've edited and fully reviewed and take responsibility for every word in it. (Anyway I will trust less AI next time, so thank you)
What I was trying to say is that if you do less because you don't like where you work, you are losing opportunity to learn skills, or worst: you are learning to do less in general. How can you find a new and better job if you are doing less?
It is also very frustrating to watch people get promoted after taking or assuming credit for all the work you quietly do behind the scenes.
About other people get promoted by the work you do quietly, I think there are three factors that makes a work not noticeable:
1. the quality of the work 2. the presentation of the work (show your work to people that maters) 3. the direct manager unfairness
The first two are in your control, if you think you have done all you can do. I think you should act to change the situation: talking to HR about the situation and/or search for another company
- Before being ready to leave, make sure you either have, or will have, another opportunity or no need for an employer. VERY often (especially in tech!) employers/managers will have employees, not for their labor, but for vanity, to build a pyramid to themselves, or for image reasons. Such people will immediately send you packing for complaining about non-productivity. Your perception of your superior's alignment can easily be wrong.
Given that precondition... I agree with the premise.
Yes, I have done it 10 years ago: I've left a job because of burnout without another opportunity. After that, I've panicked for 6 months without a job. Never again: I promised myself to never leave a job if I was without energy.
