I’m feeling stuck. I led a project that cut processing time by 40%, but when credit was given, it went to someone who didn’t even help. I know it’s not a good look to compare, but how do you show you’re doing more without sounding bitter? I want to advocate for myself without dragging others. How do you make your impact visible when the spotlight keeps missing you?

I am so sorry that happened to you. There is no worse feeling than someone else getting credit for the hard work that you have done. I would have a conversation with your manager regarding your contributions. You have to advocate for yourself.

Thanks so much. I did have a talk with her and showed her my test plans and all. She said she would keep this in mind and thanked me for telling her. That’s it. I guess I have to wait for year end to see if it’ll help with my performance review.

Who gave the credit to the other person? Did they have all of the context? Or do you know why the credit was given to the other person instead of you?

I came up with all the requirements on a macro/automation and passed the UAT testing. It was to go into production. My son got sick, so I was out for 2 days w him in the ER. My coworker took over production checkout (making sure it went in smoothly). She reported the good findings to my boss and her bosses. So they told HER she did a wonderful job! I guess she did help with check out, but I’m a bit peeved. I did tell my boss the details, she said she noted it. I don’t know what that means. But I’ve been looking at other jobs. I actually just told her I’m keeping my eyes open. She said she just wanted me to be happy but was nervous laughing and saying that someone was going to take her “top performer” away. Oh well

Maybe you can lead a retro call, invite your boss and then that can be an opportunity to share what went right / where improvements can be made. I would then book a meet with your manager to highlight your contributions as a summary of the retro

That’s a good idea. Thanks

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years.

She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
