Constant pressure, endless questioning, no acknowledgment or reward, and then you're dismissed without a word. Eventually you start doubting everything - your skills, your capacity, your value. And yet, the people I've worked with here have been genuinely competent professionals. That's no accident. Companies do this on purpose. They'd rather have a workforce that's limited and easily controllable than one that's thriving and knows its own worth.

@dr I agree!! Don’t give more than you have to. You are disposable anytime - not to be negative. We all need jobs but I think sometimes we give too much.
@e6 Truth hit's hard sometimes. Hit's soft people harder...
@dh you sound like a true je-k!
Take your breaks and don’t stay over. Schedule that pto!
@OP You let work impact your self confidence? Work shouldn't impact one's self . Grow a pair
I understand how you might feel. No company has the power to tell you WHO you are. I tell people all the time do not let work define you. I know it is hard at times though. Your job could never encompass all that you are. Besides, many of those who are making you feel that way do not know who they are. There are tons of bad leaders here. Keep pushing.
@OP well stated! And so true. The company most definitely makes you doubt yourself worth. But we have to remember we know ourself worth and no company can dictate our worth- we can for ourselves! Keep your head high! You have a lot to offer a company and I hope you find a company that appreciates you.
