I’ve built a reputation for solving problems no one else wants to touch.
But lately, I’m wondering—at what cost?
The more I deliver, the more invisible the effort becomes.
No recognition, no reprieve, just more expectations.
Anyone else navigating the line between being indispensable and being taken for granted?

Any suggestion from anyone?

The problem is there’s no coming back because after a point it becomes a baseline - I did the same thing - do the impossible tasks, work 18 hour days or over weekends when needed and delivered perfectly - what happened next? I was given more work and it was expected that I would get it done. No appreciation. The best I got was a shoutout once during a team meeting.

It happened to me eventually in a year it was me who was only working in the team. Suddenly, I realised that now it's only me who is working and the rest of the people are taking credit for my work. They used to call me younger brother and what not. The worst thing happened when they started even shouting at me. They said do it in 10 minutes/1 hours. So, I got into arguments with them and got released and everyday I felt blessed after that. I used to work 10+ hrs everyday and silently on weekends. One of my best work that I did they even gave the credit of that work to other people that broke me completely, I mean how can they do that? But I think now it's been 3 months. I heard the project collapsed after I left because they were never able to work. The worst thing that happened was not the toxicity it was like how they came back to me who used to treat me brother and said it's common that seniors take the credit of work and said this team is not toxic not even the 5% of other teams. One of the worst people I ever met anywhere was at Nagarro.

I had this at my last job, in the end I was doing the tasks of 3 people with no recognition

I keep starting huge projects or hobbies and being intensely into it for about 10 days/2 weeks, after which I forget about it and the project just lays around my house for months until I get interested in it again or I toss it out/donate it. It was fine when I was living alone but my partner is seriously frustrated with how messy the house gets and how much I spend on supplies for these things. How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
