I know I am good at my job and I know I am capable and deep down I know, I can progress.
A lot of colleagues comment to tell me that I am good at my job, yet higher management never praise me. They actually praise others who do not put any where near the effort I do in. I'm usually the one who picks up the pieces when they're lacking.
On two separate occasions its been said to me 'No not you, we mean the pretty one.'
I have no confidence anyway, I suffered many years with eating disorders and have put on weight over the pandemic so when this gets said to me it triggers me. Hence why I'm wide awake questioning my whole career.
I feel like going to work tomorrow and blurting all this out, or I should I just carry on quietly being the one without praise and apparently the one who "isn't pretty"
