I'm the person management calls when difficult clients need handling or when we're behind on quarterly targets. I've covered for sick colleagues countless times and work through lunch daily. Yet my name NEVER comes up in team meetings for praise. What am I doing wrong?

Humbly, but confidently, bring it up when it matters. Follow up after those occasions where you are de-escalating clients, explain what happened and how you handled it. Advocate for yourself if nobody else is singing you praises.

Sometimes if you're too accommodating that will happen. A lot of people think in terms of everything being transactional, and since you go above and beyond without receiving praise, people see no need to give it to you. They're praising other people because that's how they get results from them. That may be the explanation.

You’re gaining a reputation as a people pleaser and doormat. Start saying no

I truly think this is a good question for your manager.

OP, how’s it going?
