"sir, i am working hard day and night...but still my efforts are not appreciated, not recognised and i am not rewarded!!"

 Dear all....One Question...One Answer....

Qn. "Sir, i am working hard day and night...but still my efforts are not appreciated, not recognised and i am not rewarded!!"

Ans: Please check out the following:-

(1) Whether you are interested in what you are doing from morning to night. Whether you are able to lose yourself, forget the food, sleep, time etc in what you are doing. Whether it is entertaining you and not making you tired. Whether you are without anxiety and stress....whether you are peaceful in doing the job...!!

(2) Whether it is a Key Result Area (KRA) activity in your section or department or the entire organisation. Whether it is a Functional activity. Only then you will get focus, attention, priority, immediate recognition, rewards etc. If your activity is Secondary or Tertiary and not Primary, then you may or may not get. Probability is less. 

(3) Whether you are doing as per the expectations of your boss or not. You might bring the sky and heavens to earth. But if your boss is not liking it or organisation is not appreciating it, then it is of no use. It is similar to a husband or wife saying that they are working for the other person only at home like dogs and donkeys but feel that the other person is not appreciating it...because they don't do those things as per the expectations of the other person...they do only those things which they feel important or priority!!

(4) Whether you are briefing your boss adequately (blowing your trumpet) that she/he is aware of your efforts, results, output, hard work, feels you are working hard, you are creative, you are different, you are adding value to the project, section, department, organisation etc. you will bring profits, name, fame, status, etc to the department/organisation.  

(5) Whether you are creative and doing things differently to the likes of the boss.

(6) Whether you are cutting costs and bringing profits.

(7) Whether you are doing jobs that are quantifyable with factors of realisation which are quantified and specified in numbers.

(8) Whether what you are doing is significant part of the project.

(9) Whether you are doing appropriate things with efficiency...i.e correct things in less time, more output...high productivity in most important and vital things...!!

(10) Whether you do not have any attitude problem, you are a good listener, whether you are a good team member and team leader...whether you do not have any personality disorder issues...whether you do not have any ego...whether you are generally liked by all as a good peer, good subordinate, good boss and a good human being. 

If all the above are there, then no way that you will lose out....if you are losing out, then one or more of the above are missing...just bring them in...you will be successful, you will be recognised and rewarded!!

Peacefully yours...Rams...Psychologist!!
