Im done over extending myself

Spent a year building something I was proud of. Brought someone in to collaborate, shared everything openly… only to watch it get slightly tweaked and presented as their idea to the team.

This isn’t the first time. Just the latest reminder that being generous with your work doesn’t always come back the same way.

So I’m done sharing like that.
Done handing over things I’ve poured time and energy into just to watch them get repackaged and claimed. I chose to stay here and finish my project and now I regret it.

All this plus Not to mention Ive gone years being promised a promotion and the raises get smaller and smaller each year. Im dont being the lowest paid but highest achieving on my team. Im moving different now.

My advice is to do your job and your job alone. Go the extra step here and there just to keep yourself relevant enough but, no more than that. Promotions have been MIA for 6 years now and raises are like you said, getting lower and lower. What point is there in putting MORE work into a job if there is no reward or benefit?

I'm an i6 and love my job but, don't feel the desire to do much more than what is expected at this point. Because why should I?

@ba Passion doesn’t pay the bills.

Money isn’t everything it’s having a passion in what you like to do.

My best story on one of these is when my last manager took one of my ideas and claimed it as her own in a meeting, then when people were peppering her with questions that she could not answer she asked me. I said that it's your idea what do I know?

After the meeting she called to ask why I didn't answer the questions. I told her she presented it as her idea and never once gave me any credit for the work I did on it.

2 months later I got the long sought after parting gift.

"This isn't the first time..." So...you're going to do it again I bet...

I wish Dell had more Managers that recognized and rewarded going "above and beyond." But that is very rare in this company anymore. You get the same lousy raise no matter how much effort you give. And barely any recognition. Very sad.

Par for the course for most of the 'successful' Cockroaches who manage to survive at Dell.

WHA WHA,poor me.You sound like a dedicated worker

@OP This is what managers do at Dell. They go around taking credit for other people's work. Dell leadership is toxic!
