Success Feels Like a Punishment at Work 😔
Ever felt like being great at your job just paints a bigger target on your back? That’s me right now. After years of being underpaid and giving my all—late nights, big wins, happy clients—I finally got promoted to Senior Project Manager. I thought, "Hey, maybe now I’ll get paid what I’m worth."
But when I asked for a fair raise, my CEO turned the meeting into a character assassination. He called me selfish, despite everyone else praising my teamwork and dedication. I’ve always tried to lift up my coworkers, but apparently, I should wake up every day wondering how to make his life easier. Is that really what work is about?
Now, I’m left questioning myself and my future here. My mental health is taking a hit, and I’m not sure what to do next. Has anyone else been through this? How did you handle it? I could really use some advice right now. 😞
