which is worse

[sergebroom]

I don't know which is worse, that office treats me like I am mediocre, or the encroaching feeling that maybe they are right and I *am* mediocre.

Ugh, I hate both too. ISTM that they take you for granted, though, rather than thinking you're mediocre. You do put out fires on a regular basis, and you said they said nice things in that team-building whatever.

IRL (including the internet), of course, you're not mediocre at all.

Thanks. It's hard sometimes to remember. I don't know if you saw my later post, but I had a reminder that I am good. I mean, I built something, had it ready on time (or close to it in spite of their changing the details, but not the target date), and it worked without a glitch the first time around?

I missed it! I'm glad you told me. Glitch-free from the beginning? That's so wonderful!

You should start a list of your accomplishments, and give it to your boss to jog their memory at annual review time. With dates and data, if necessary.

I keep a thorough list. They'll never sink me, based on facts anyway.
