Pros
The people I worked with were not the issue, and at least the experience was not a complete waste.
Kontras
- You keep your head down, show up every day, get the work done, and somehow still become completely invisible.
- Month after month finishing projects on time, contributing in meetings, stepping in whenever things became chaotic - and it felt like none of it mattered or was even noticed.
- Never a thank you, never even a simple "good work', just pushed straight into the next task like a machine.
- Management praised other employees for work I directly helped execute, while I stood there wondering why my effort meant absolutely nothing.
- The harder I tried to prove myself, the more it felt like screaming into an empty void.
- It is crushing when your only value as an employee is simply showing up and staying quiet.
