Work and Mental Health
I'm a female office admin and I've been working 3 years at an only male small company. I've been feeling unmotivated, stuck and unvalued. My boss doesn't ask how I'm doing, how my vacation went and how's my weekend. He only notices my mistakes and not my everyday efforts. Whenever something goes wrong, he doesn't ask what happened and just gets mad at us. I see him happily chatting with our sales reps and my manager all the time and it makes me feel left out. they don't really ask me to join the conversation. I don't feel comfortable talking about myself or my day unless someone asks. It's unfair that I feel like I have to keep trying to prove myself and I feel like I still get the same treatment. I struggle to be on time in the morning because I just don't feel motivated to work anymore. I would have quit by now, but since it's just my manager in the office, I feel bad leaving him now. So I'm waiting till the busy holiday season ends to look for a new job. I've tried everything, and even tried changing my mindset. I even feel lost and I'm starting to question my value and skills. I always try to be understanding, but I just don't feel respected. Is there something wrong with me or it's just my work environment?
