Work’s been really draining lately and I’m struggling to stay motivated. It’s hard to give your best when it feels like SOME people get all the recognition while others who actually do the work get overlooked. It’s starting to feel like who you know matters more than the work you do. No matter how much effort I put in, it feels like it’s never enough or it’s not noticed. I used to enjoy my job but now it’s just frustrating.It’s tough because I KNOW I’m capable and I care about doing a good job but it’s hard to keep putting in effort when it feels like it won’t make a difference. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you stay motivated when things feel unfair…? 
totally get where you’re coming from. work can be sooo draining when it feels like your effort isn’t being recognised or even appreciated… ugh so frustrating. hmm what i did was tried to focus more on what i could control, doing whats best for me but tbh that didn’t help much when the environment & work culture is so ingrained like that. eventually i moved to another company where my work is actually valued. maybe it’s worth looking at other places where the environment is a beetter fit because you deserve to be in a place where your hard work is valued… hang in there tho, you’re not alone in this!
Yeahh I’ve been trying to focus on what i can control too but honestly, it’s not fixing the bigger issue. It;s this toxic environment. You’re right, I think it’s time i start looking for a place where my work is actually valued. Thanks for sharing this, it’s exactly what i needed to hear💛
