Everynight, I go to work throw my soul down into something that's sopose to make my life easier but in all reality it makes it More stressful.

Everynight, someone talks down to me, over looks me and or Judges me.

Everynight, I put more than my best effort into something and still manage to get nothing out of it.

Everynight, I feel like i waste my time, and my life. It's only when i come home and see my children that I realize that i really do work for something, even if it drains me to my core, and Even if I hate it sometimes.

I tend to feel useless lately, not as a person, but just un-motivated only because for some reason, everyone understestimates me, and looks over me. It's like something they can't get over about me, or maybe my work ethic.

I work hard every night, I help other employees, I refuse to kiss a**, I know my job just as well as most everyone else, and I've proven that Im an excellent scheduler. I keep telling myself, (for my pride's sake) that they just arn't ready for me to step into a leadership role.

I come home in the morning from a long day of work, and just wonder what more I must do in order to Prove myself, to just push myself over that Hump that they can't seem to look over to see me. I see my wife and Kids, and know that they deserve more from me, than i may possibly be able to give. But even if it kills me I've got to try.

Someday I'll get what i work for, someday ill feel that im really working for something.

I know most everyone has some kind of stress in thier life, work related that is, I'd really love to know how you're able to deal with it daily. I could use to great Ideas.

You sound like a sensitive soul who takes on the whole world. You made me think of the saying " what you resist persists". I think you have to come to like your present situation before the next one ( a better one) presents itself. You sound as if you hate what you are doing. I got labeled too and got held back from the job i really wanted. I didn't even know it, they were talking behind my back. I just put my all into the job I had then and I kept believing in myself and eventually i overcame the problem. I said affirmations too. When you say you don't kiss butt it made me wonder if you are cynical on the job. If so it could make people not trust you and there fore not want to promote you. A leader must show that he/she wants to do the best for the organization. It made me sad that you take on the burden of feeling totally responsible for your family. They are responsible too for making their own lives happy. Its is hard enough for one person to make themselves happy let alone thinking your not doing right for your family. You are.
I will be curious to see what others say also. I am quite blunt so Understand that I don't mean to offend you, only wish to help.

I thank you for your Honesty. I will have to consider a few things that you said. For example, People not trusting me, because i may be or am cynical. That's a fact, im overly cynical, and at certain times its hard not to be. I try to be less negative daily, but i fall short when i get dragged into the mess of gossip, and words that pile around our team. I think that most of all i question why i tend to hold back my feelings so much, I hold them in for so long, the as you'd guess something comes along and I want to explode, just to let them flow. But i know that in the business world that that'll do is get me stuck in a worse rut then I feel I'm already in. Maybe when i go In tonight in about an hour ill try to focus on all the good things about my job, and see what kind of energys are created with that attitude, it's worth a shot I guess.

First of all I'd ask myself if I truly love the job.
And second are you sure people treat you the way you feel they do or it just SEEMS like that to you because you are a sensitive person? Or is it more that you don't appreciate yourself?

Watch me! I have many skills.
