Does your boss really value you that much?
Thread Content
There is a situation where your colleagues all think that your supervisor values you and favors you greatly, while you yourself feel that your supervisor is suppressing you. How can this contrast be understood?
Those involved are often blind to it; perhaps one doesn’t realize the blessings they have when they possess them
It shows that you usually perform quite well, which makes others envious.
The onlooker sees most of the game; when others think so, you definitely do too, and arguing against that only makes things worse. Hehe
Asking you to do something means trusting your abilities; in a career, the most important thing is to know yourself well and to have a plan
Personally, I think there are two scenarios: 1) Your expectations are too high; your boss values you, but you feel that he doesn’t give you enough. 2) Your boss is neglecting you
I think personal feelings are the most accurate
I hope to see valuable insights from people from all walks of life; I’ll give you extra points for that.
I think one should analyze the situation carefully and think it through: whether the tasks given by the boss are unimportant and miscellaneous, or rather important and crucial for one’s progress. In the eyes of others, as long as the boss assigns more tasks to you, they will have a better opinion of you. In any case, don’t let other people’s opinions influence you; learn to stick to your own decisions.
One should know best themselves, haha!
Both situations are possible. First, you’re really excellent, or you’re very obedient, so the boss keeps giving you tasks; it’s tough, and you feel aggrieved, but then you think of it as a form of experience. Second, you have offended your boss, who punishes you physically by making you work constantly; yet others think you are valued, which is unfair to you. There’s no other way: leave or keep going and gaining experience.
I think suppression and favoritism cannot coexist at the same time.
I think your feeling is correct. Generally, bosses use their subordinates, nothing but use them. Giving you a chance is nothing but helping himself. Don’t believe that the boss will really be friendly to you!
One should still trust their own feelings; only the feet know best whether a shoe fits or not! Your colleagues only see the surface; perhaps it’s because you are highly capable, and your boss often assigns you more important tasks, which makes them envious. But you haven’t received the treatment you deserve; only you know that. Actually, I’ve encountered such a situation too.
I think what other people feel must be correct. Your boss loves you deeply but is strict with you, frustrated that you don’t meet his expectations~
I think when a company owner asks you to do more work, it’s because they trust you. If your supervisor in a public institution tells you to do some work that brings no recognition or benefits, it’s basically a way of putting you in a difficult situation; on the other hand, such work should be valued!
I think first you need to understand what kind of person the boss is: their personality, their way of handling things, and so on. And then make a judgment. Believe in yourself
Am I too stupid, having constantly and selflessly contributed to my supervisor’s achievements without receiving any recognition for it, and even being exploited in the process?
It’s obvious that your boss is taking advantage of you. I’ve gone through a similar situation; I work in the coal chemical industry, and I was responsible for all aspects of five production units in a subsidiary plant, from civil engineering to equipment installation. Whenever the management had any tasks, they would turn to me, saying that they valued me highly. However, I didn’t receive any promotion in terms of position or salary. In such a situation, you need to adjust your mindset, do your job well, and at the same time focus on gaining experience and learning how to protect yourself. If there are still no opportunities for advancement, then it’s time to find a place that’s more suitable for your development
Being able to sense that your boss is suppressing you shows that you are quite sensitive. Be glad for yourself that you didn’t even realize you were being cooked. In my opinion, when dealing with supervisors, there are two things to keep in mind: 1. A supervisor remains a supervisor, regardless of their abilities. Sometimes, don’t make your work too perfect; allow for some minor mistakes so that your supervisor has the chance to correct you. 2. Adjust your mindset. People in technical fields are not very good at communication and building interpersonal relationships, and that’s actually a good thing, as it gives them more time and energy to focus on their work. The problem is when they’re not proficient in multiple areas.
