when you tell people at wprk you’re unhappy, you think you’re putting the co on notice... like, im a good employee, i’m telling you something is wrong so go fix it before i leave.
but that’s usually not how it works.
your boss tells their boss. then everyone starts asking what’s up... and maybe for five minutes it sounds like they care about the problem.
but then all of this always flips...
because the problem you brought up is probably happening under their leadership. so now it’s not “what do we need to fix?” all of a sudden becomes “is this person becoming a problem?”
then come the usual labels. you know them all...
ur not a culture fit. probably checked out. might leave anyway. maybe we need a backup plan, who's covering for him, who else knows her work, etc...
and now the thing you complained about is no longer the main issue. you are the main issue.
meanwhile you’re sitting there thinking they’re working on it. but behind closed doors, they are deciding what to do with you...
because fixing a broken system is hard. replacing one fu--ing unhappy employee is sooo much easier for them...
so before you tell them everything, just understand the game. rarely feedback leads to change but, often, it just tells them who to plan around.
stay safe.
