andreacanton··on Always be ready to leave (even if you never do)
Thank you for sharing this important detail!

Yes, I have done it 10 years ago: I've left a job because of burnout without another opportunity. After that, I've panicked for 6 months without a job. Never again: I promised myself to never leave a job if I was without energy.

Thank you for your comment. This wasn't my intention, but I'll consider this aspect in future.

English is not my first language so I trusted AI for my article.

I will study better this behavior

Thank you for your comment.

yes, english is not my first language, so I use AI to helping me structure the article, but I've edited and fully reviewed and take responsibility for every word in it. (Anyway I will trust less AI next time, so thank you)

What I was trying to say is that if you do less because you don't like where you work, you are losing opportunity to learn skills, or worst: you are learning to do less in general. How can you find a new and better job if you are doing less?

andreacanton··on Lead by Example, Not by Lecturing
Thank you for your thoughts.

About other people get promoted by the work you do quietly, I think there are three factors that makes a work not noticeable:

1. the quality of the work 2. the presentation of the work (show your work to people that maters) 3. the direct manager unfairness

The first two are in your control, if you think you have done all you can do. I think you should act to change the situation: talking to HR about the situation and/or search for another company
