Trying hard to hang on and stay positive

What would I do without my daily dose of motivational quotes, followed by some successful self counselling.

Its tough...It hurts cause I get punched where it hurts most... my heart, my ego. Yet I continue to work like theres no tomorrow.

I bend backwards to make sure I put in that extra bit and take the feedback given during my appraisal and act on it diligently.

Yet, I find myself getting constantly ticked off by my bosses. The vibes are cold. I know well they have the power and so I console myself saying, "every dog has its day"

Even winning an award at an industry function did not get me a word of appreciation. I know the reading is clear- My face is not liked. Sometimes.. and Im almost certain about this, they just push me cause they think, "heres a sub-ordinate whos good..so let get the most out of her, which means doing far more than Im expected to do...

It baffles me how some so called seasoned professionals can be so biased, insensitive and completely insecure when it comes to sub-ordinates.

He asserts his authority not through his work, but rather through his aggressive, arrogant and unfair behaviour towards people and me for sure. Beauty and fair skin are the only two attributes which soften him. So now you know what his level is.

Whats is sometimes and rather strangely a sort of consolation for me is the fact that Ive realized this guy is not a very sound professional. He has lots of learning to do himslef. His sense of judgement and instincts are rather weak.

They say whn the going gets tough at work, its best to put your head down and work really hard. Since my taling will not help, Im hoping my work will do some talking for me.
