Hi everybody. How are you? I hope you are all right. These past few weeks, I've been feeling overwhelmed at work. And this challenge feels very right for me to express what I feel. I will answer the second question: What job makes me feel really bad?
This recently happened to me. I love my job. But this month I feel like I have a challenge and a disappointment. The thing that makes me worse now, I feel unappreciated. Last week, I had to contact a vendor that provides hybrid zoom facilities.
This problem came two weeks ago. Suddenly my boss made a unilateral decision. My team has to come to Bandung to help with the hybrid meeting process. Not a matter of substance, but of a technical team. What disappointed me was that my boss didn't see the capacity of my team and the tools we had. Team capacity and tools are very limited. I'm already disappointed with the decision.
I consulted several other people. Finally, we decided to use a vendor. I feel relieved, but this decision is not final. There is another problem, we have to find a vendor that provides zoom and photographer facilities. The thing that makes me feel the worst is that my work is not appreciated.
I've been looking for vendors that already provide zoom. I have provided an offer from the vendor. There were 4 vendors I could contact, not just 3. However, one more vendor did not reply to messages. Before my boss asked to contact me, I already contacted them and sent them a recap of the rental price.
Last Monday, my boss called himself. I feel my work is not appreciated. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but he just did it himself. I feel really bad. This week, I feel uninspired at work. There are many targets that I do not work on.
This feeling of disrespect has a domino effect on other jobs. I need to rest a little so that my feelings recover. So little story from me. Have you ever felt the same way? It's stuff like this, feeling unappreciated, to me makes me the worst at work.
