Career development 1d

Hi there, im new to here but i thought this might be the best place to ask about this. My manager is two faced, she talks to me about other people and she talks to others about me. I'm doing the job of the assistant and not getting recognized for doing it and it makes me angry. She has said in the past that she would talk to her bosses to see what she can do and now when I bring it up she argues with me as though she never said she'd help me. My skill set as it is doesn't allow me to leave (trust me I've been looking). Any help would be great. Thanks

    at work keep everything private.Most people at work are just colleagues who may never call your after you have left that job. focus on yourself, do... your work and go home to the people that care about you. if you are not appreciated now, then it may never happen. start looking for other opportunities while you work, keep hope and focus on what makes you happy

    I have been in this situation several times. Perhaps you can do a lateral transfer in the company. If not keep your eyes open for an opportunity to... raise your status. My experience has been that sooner or later, someone so viteral will slip and fall. I agree with the above reply. Work hard and be friendly to everyone. more

    It is frustrating not to be treated with respect and honesty, especially when you are working hard and feel stuck with few alternatives. I’m sorry... you are experiencing that.
    While it may not change things overnight, here are a couple of ideas that might help you get a bit of control:
    • Start tracking your contributions in writing, especially anything that falls outside your role. It’ll help you to present your case for recognition or a raise.
    • Document your conversations. Especially when commitments are made and later denied.
    • Build allies where you can. Are there other professionals you trust? A second set of eyes on the situation can be valuable.
    You’re doing more than your job, and even if others aren’t acknowledging it yet, that effort does matter. You’re gaining skills and strength, and one day, they’ll open doors that this current situation can’t shut forever. Hang in there—and good luck.

    First when your boss starts to talk about other people do not engage in the conversation. You can let people know without words you will not... participate in gossip. Secondly if there are other positions within the company apply if you qualify. Do not make a move too quickly you may regret it down the road, If you apply for a position you qualify for and do not get it then go to that manager and professionally ask when you did not get the position. This may open the door for conversation that is needed. Be patient more

    If you’re not happy, you don’t feel appreciated, and the general situation does not improve, find another job.

    I could tell you stories about experiences like you're explaining but instead I will say that you can either wait it out because sooner or later will... either be promoted, fired or resign or retire. If you don't have the patience to deal with this person, it can cause you anxiety which isn't healthy for you. Move on to another department or continue looking for that new job. You never know, you could find that place that's better suited for you. No one should deal with that sort of situation, it's unfair.  more
