Listen, If you are in there swinging you are not failing. I have been a knife salesman, a telemarketer, a mechanic, a carpenter building houses, a failing artist and many other jobs that barely allowed me and my young family to "get by". I kept at it. Now I am Creative Director at a Fortune 500 company with work in the Smithsonian, I lecture around the US and I have traveled the world. Success takes time and perseverance. Don't let the A-Holes get you down. They usually end up getting their just desserts.

But these things are important and outweigh work. Work is not your life.

A little bit of therapy can probably fix that right up.

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
