Stuck in a Job with No Raise or Promotion: What Should I Do?

Ans:

I think this is an impression that you have formed in your mind.

This is the time where multi-generations are part of the workforce.

Organisations are encouraging diversity in the workplace and hence employees of all ages are needed and valued.

Be positive and continue to give your best every day; the rest will fall into place.

 

Ans:

Any increase in compensation will depend on the policy of the company.

You would know whether your colleagues and other employees in the company are getting salary increments.

If they are, then you must immediately approach your management.

Requesting for a salary increase is within an employee's rights and will be taken in the right spirit.

Ans: It's understandable to feel frustrated and undervalued in your current work situation. Schedule a meeting with your manager to discuss your concerns. Express your desire for more challenging work, feedback on your performance, and opportunities for growth within the company. Be specific about what you're looking for and how you believe it will benefit both you and the company.If your manager is unable to provide regular feedback, consider seeking it from other colleagues or mentors within the company.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Maybe it's time to reevaluate your priorities...
Maybe it's time to ask yourself if this job is something that is not posing very creative challenges...
Where there are people, there will always be politics and this has to be managed. How do you do that? By raising your emotional quotient.
Reading books on this may help, but in the current state, you can ask a senior from the office who can be trusted to step in as a role model or anyone else who has been in the industry for a good number of years and has been successful at people management.
Learn from them and this could be a way in which you can navigate and course though in your work place. As for working round the clock, it could be time management or you are possibly spending time worrying about the politics and losing your job that you may have ended up taking on more work in order to please your team or manager. This is just a thought and you can think further about it...

All the best!
