Grafter Lost in the World of Self Promotion

[DollyMatrix]

I am bitter, jealous and in a mood for self-beating and self pity.

Perfectionist with imposter syndrome, I feel like others take advantage of me at work, climb for promotion off the back of my work, etc etc. I have no talent for networking, self indulgent LinkedIn posts, you know the type. I feel undervalued at work but too chicken shit to ask my worth, possibly because deep down I know I am not as good as I fancy, or am I am and this is imposter syndrome?

Anyone else has been in this vicious thought pattern and have you managed to make progress?

Zero advice whatsoever just solidarity . Currently work for a place that values motormouthed bullshitters over people who can actually do the job.

is changing employer for one with a better environment an option? Is coaching an option?

You could be describing me. I went self employed in the end. Now the only person who Benefits from my hard work is me!

I also feel that perfectionists don't flourish in paye jobs anyway. Most perfectionists only work at one speed and it's not one that employers like.

Is self employed an option for you OP?
