Feel undervalued at work

Do You Feel Undervalued At Work?

December 19, 2019 / By / 889 Comments

So, you finally gathered up the courage to talk to your boss about getting a raise. Or you have some great ideas you are excited about that you think would really make a difference for your company. You present your proposal to your manager and you get one big disapproval. Not only doesn’t your manager have time for you, he/she flat out rejects your idea without even giving it a fair consideration. And, as far as getting a raise, not a chance. All of a sudden you feel undervalued. What do you do next?

The first logical step would be to go back to your work and continue with your daily duties, right? Perhaps. You could also consider his/her point of view and try not to take it personally. You could “suck it up” and do what’s expected of you so you could keep your job for a long time. The problem with this approach is that you will be “sucking it up” at this job for a long time. Long enough until you become so miserable there, you will be ready to quit any day.

What Most People Do

When you do not feel valued or appreciated at your job, things usually don’t get any better. You will not be happier unless something drastically changes. The only thing that will grow is your tolerance. Because having a job and holding on to it is so important to you, you may choose not to do anything about things you don’t like. You will grow to tolerate them. Those unpleasant things will likely get worse as your tolerance of them increases. Slowly, but surely, you will start having more and more days when you are ready to quit on the spot. Except that you will get over it and come back to work the next day.

The problem with this approach is that you will continue to be miserable. But, most importantly, it will make it harder for you to find another job when you are really unhappy at your current one. Your energy will be more desperate as you search for other jobs and you might inadvertently push potential employers away. Besides, when you are unhappy and feel undervalued, it is hard to see your own value and notice your accomplishments. And those accomplishments are what will sell you during your next job interview.

Unfortunately, what most people do when they feel undervalued at their job is pull their value away. They become less motivated, don’t try as hard, start feeling resentful and, overall, give less to their jobs. And furthermore, as they give less, they become even less valued. The longer you stay in this type of situation, the harder it will be to get out. Unless of course, it gets to the point where you have no choice but to leave.

What Could You Do Instead

First of all, don’t pull away your value. It’s not so much about what you can give to your company, it is more about what you can give, period. Your next employer will need to see the proof of that. That is what will make them want to hire you. When you are overworked, exhausted, frustrated and possibly even bitter, it is hard to look attractive. Even if you try to hide it during your job interview, it will show up somehow.

Second, start looking for another job. And start early. As soon as you realize that you are not happy about certain aspects, it goes against your values and you know they will not change. But look smart. Don’t just look for anything as you may think anything is better than the mess you are in. Know exactly what you want and be very selective about it. After all, companies will be very selective about you.

    Agora você tem acesso a todo o conteúdo do nosso portal! Outros quatro times brasileiros estão entre os dez melhores, segundo o ranking: Grêmio (5º), Athletico-PR (7º), São Paulo (9º) e Santos (10º). O Independiente del Valle (Equador), atual campeão da Copa Sul-Americana, aparece na 12ª colocação. A resposta do Flamengo saiu aos 7 minutos com Lázaro, batendo em cima de Weverton, mas sem sucesso. Com bola lá e cá, o Palmeiras mais uma vez tomou o controle e continuou a pressionar os rivais até que, aos 15 minutos, Veiga acertou em cheio as redes de Santos, mas o gol foi cancelado por impedimento. Apesar da última derrota ter sido na casa do adversário, palco do duelo do próximo domingo (21), o Flamengo também defende uma invencibilidade jogando no Allianz Parque, em partidas do Campeonato Brasileiro. Desde o confronto de 2017, o Mais Querido visitou o Palmeiras em outras quatro oportunidades. Foram duas vitórias e dois empates no estádio do rival.

    If you are betting in a legal online sports betting state and your casino does have PayPal as an option, we would recommend choosing it because there are no limits on maximum deposits, you won’t have to pay fees, and there aren’t any restrictions on payments. PayPal is a trustworthy payment service so any legal online casino that is offering it is legit. PayPal allows users to withdraw their funds into their Visa debit cards only. When viewing your PayPal balance, select \”Transfer Money\” and then \”Transfer to your bank account.\” Input the desired amount you would like to withdraw and the funds will be made available within 30 minutes in your Visa debit card account. Please note that this method requires you to pay a 1% fee on instant transfers. The instant transfer fee will never exceed $10.

Curiously enough, you cannot access them via Huuuge Casino’s main site. What sets this Huuuge Casino game apart from other single-payline Slots is its wild multiplier feature, which provides players with the chance to multiply their prizes by up to 10x.
