I'm looking for advice because I can't work this out, but it feels like employers just don't want me to be an adult.. Or to put it another way, refuse to ever know, or use, my skills well and reward me, but always seem to think I'm crap and useless..but I'm really not.
I'm qualified with a business qualification, am imaginative, personable, and results orientated, have a series of roles where I have exceeded expectations, but never seem to get a good review and/or bosses seem to want to fire me, or help someone useless at the expense of me 'to give them a chance' but I don't even earn enough to have the family I desperately want. I can't go on like this, but it just keeps happening. How do I either become mediocre, but promotable, or get the promotions I deserve without getting fired? I can see that despite my abilities being higher than average, I am barely at out of school wages despite the degree. My peers are becoming directors on £80k salaries, and people I know are performing worse than me are getting promoted ahead of me. What is going on?
