Nothing I did ever mattered, apparently
Pros
The office was fine when people weren't around, and I guess the remote option was there if you pushed for it.
Cons
- You could pour every ounce of effort into your work and absolutely nobody would notice, like you were just throwing words into an empty void, which maybe sounds manageable at first but eventually wears you down completely. - I'd finish projects, meet deadlines, produce strong work and then just... nothing. - No acknowledgment, no appreciation, not even a basic "good job" to suggest anyone actually noticed what I was doing or cared that I existed. - It's this miserable dynamic where you're expected to constantly perform and stay invested while there is zero effort from management to make any of it feel worthwhile, and honestly it becomes draining fast. - After months of that, you start questioning whether you're even doing anything right or if anyone is paying attention at all, and eventually all motivation disappears because why keep trying when recognition never comes. - Just invisible, completely invisible.
