“Every job is a self portrait of the person who does it, autograph your work in excellence.”
One thing we keep repeating saying to ourselves while at work is “do your best” to maintain our spirit. Regardless of the job we have, we are required to put our best efforts in carrying out our duties. Whether we are having blue collar job as office boy, cleaning officer, washing dishes at local restaurant, pushing shopping carts in off the lot of the local super-market or white collar job as managers, consultants, or lawyers, we should keep in mind that people don’t judge you by what work you do. Rather, they will observe how you do the work. They are looking to see if you value what you do. If you autograph your work with excellence, they would certainly pay you respect. Conversely, if you disrespect what you do, people will treat you the same way.
Yet, we often face a dilemma in sticking to that principle while the environment aren't supportive. We have been doing a good job, yet we are underpaid. It’s frustrating to know that no matter how well you perform, the salary system in the company will never allow you to have better income or facility compared to your colleagues having lower grade and risk. You are feeling too furious sometimes that you wanna throw a chair or just play truant at your work...or you feel compelled to hit somebody you thought responsible for your fate, lol.
To make matter worse, you never hear from the boss one way or another on this basic issue of your security. You will be tempted to eventually slow down as you never feel appreciated. You work nail to toe, yet you don’t feel happy. You don’t like working in a vacuum. After all, feeling appreciated is a fundamental human need.
Frustrated and irritated can lead into resentment, thus lowering the workplace morale or lower the general work standard. This is your biggest challenge to keep your morale high despite the discouraging situation. This will be the test of your character reflected on how you keep doing your job.
It's hard to do, beleive me, I know how that feels :-). The easiest trick is just do your best while keep chanelling your anger into positive activities. Don't ever give up hope. Keep seeking an opportunity to put your argument forward on how you feel being mistreated. When you've done your share, but the system still doesn't respond, then you just wait. The outcome does not mattter since you've done your best already :-). Afterall, the job is your bread and butter. Make a compromise without negating your basic principle :-).
