I’m HR and pride myself on my work ethic. Unfortunately I feel very under appreciated. I go way beyond my duties— I have implemented amazing changes, fixed what was broken before I was onboarded, found and signed contracts with other companies, kept up as well as I could with all certifications and client relations issues, created training and evaluation programs, all things that didn’t exist before me, and that’s just tip of an iceberg. But I’m constantly being questioned and I’m tired of it.

Constantly being questioned, how? In the things you do day to day, or where you put your efforts in those extra tasks? I’ve had micromanagers like that. I do a decent job, but every single thing I do comes under fire.

That is tough when you are doing your part, trying to communicate and explain the process. Incredibly hard to work with people who do not want to take the time to understand the work. They just want it done yesterday.

It sounds like you've been doing a bang-up job. My guess is that management just takes it all for granted. That can happen sometimes, when things go well people just assume they happened on their own. In a weird way, high achievers and productive people can be undervalued just because they accomplish a lot and it may look easy to those they work for. Not sure if that's what has happened to you, but it's a thought.

That’s what I think it might be because they keep telling me they can do it themself but to be frank— if they could I wouldn’t have had to do so much cleaning up when I started. This is a common issue I have in my work where I work really hard— do a lot, get praise, etc, and then all the sudden I’m lazy and useless out of the blue. It happened at my last job where my manager turned (but the district advisor had my back thankfully) and I cannot for the life of me figure out why this switch happens to me or if I just have terrible luck.

Sounds like they may feel like it was your job to come in and do all this. Even if it was, it should be appreciated. A lot of companies take for granted employees who are able to come in and make substantive change, as if it’s expected. When will they learn that a little appreciation goes a long way?

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.
