I'm very depressed

[IBM]

Hi.

This last week I went through incredible and yet sad events on my work. I've been "stabbed" in my back so to regaine professional pride and dignity and to prove that the fault wasnt mine i'd to work TWO DAYS without sleep. ON AND ON. Fortunately the client saw that my work was excelent and the fault was the persons that used my work as scapegoat to their hide inability and lack of professionalism.
To this they are in deep trouble and only a miracle can save them in time.

I should be happy for the great end i had.

But no, i'm very sad and depressed. I'm going to quit from my job because they betrayed me. I always helped as i could, I'm the guy with the less wage and yet the most tallented worker. To this they never helped me when i needed. NEVER. I WORKED ALONE LIKE A SLAVE. Besides never called me for lunch or snack.

They always treated me like a South Africa ********.

Thanks to God and my family i got the strenght to make this decision. I've been seriously abused feeling always guilty, depressed and anxious.

Just quit my friend

and you will have a massive burden lifted up from off your back...And you will feel much better for it. Those traitors you work with don't deserve to bask in your talent and intergrity. Find another job where someone will recognize your talents and award you accordingly

can you explain exactly what happened?

I used to consult for IBM BCS (never made it past band 6) and I know you can switch projects on a dime and move all around the world - one of the advantages of working for such a big company.

Why not just reassign to a new project?

Well if the company want my work just pay me around the double of what i gain. There's a lot of workers that does not know sh*t, dont do a thing and have wages far superior to mine.
I said to my boss that i want to move to another project. Also i tried to move to Madrid (with a facility that the company provides) but i was unsuccessful.

Anyway i dont want to have anything with those people that try to blame another instead of protect and work as a team.

After all the traitors were discovered and now they are in deep deep trouble.

I know very well my value so i'm not going to sell my services for a piece of sh*t. I refuse to be treated like a illegal immigrant.

f*** them!

They always treated me like a South Africa ******. I refuse to be treated like a illegal immigrant.

dude you sound kind of racist

 

[s.a.f]

Dont quit until you have a new job waiting for you. How long have you worked for the company? Most new employees have to slave away for a few years before they get any recognition.
Surely after all this has happenend people will now be giving you more respect and this looks good for your chances of future promotion? But you have to stick around and wait for the chances of promotion to arise.

What is the problem of reminding apartheid of South Africa? And I dont have problems to write say n i g g e r since it's not in racist manner. That was the way black people in that country were treated.

And do you think explotation of illegal immigrant is something to hide? The problem exists and is in front of everyone.

Well i got the maximum rank in company's anual evaluation. More than that was impossible.

They promised me that i would grow up and they would raise my salary. After 5 months i dont see a thing. And i see new people entering in the company with better salaries then mine with far less knowledge and expertise. They only say good morning or good night when they need help or a hand.
I cant go on like that.

I still live with my family. I dont have a house, car or girlfriend to maintain so I'm free to do whatever i want. Also the debts are less than five years ago so we can live with that for some time.
And for sure i'll get a job where people work and treat with dignity.

A break will be good. I can improve myself. Make some sport and enjoy the sun. That wont do any harm.

Working with people that dont their job well unpunished is time/mind consuming and stressful. It can bring me serious health problems.
Besides i'm enough with cleaning other's shits and flaws.

If you haven't seen any promotion in 5 months approach your manager about it. I don't know, your whole story just sounds very one sided and I'm not sure I buy it. Also, why not get your own place? I know I can only tolerate living with my family for about a week at a time.

Dont you have regular performance reviews? Or performance based pay rises? Just tell them how you're feeling. But once again dont quit without having another job ready to go to.

what type of work do you do IBM?

 

[uncomfortable man]

Ever see the movie Office Space. Remember that character who's fat with the glasses and is very timid and soft spoken and constantly being pushed around the office against his will. He said he was going to burn the office down and where did he end up at the end of the movie?- rich, sipping margaritas on the beach. Just a movie though.

Yes I can imagine IBM being a thin version of him, doing all the work whilst then the others take the credit for it and he does'nt speak up.

Check out my new avatar guys. Everyone else was doing it so I had to too. It is a picture of the elephant man and look he has a full head of hair, but even if he were going bald he shouldn't shave it- he doesn't have the right shaped head for it. :crazy:

Well trying to make me as scapegoat and not presenting me to the client where other collegue were presented is enough to leave the company. Its lack of respect. Even the client joked to me that he didnt know who i was and they were prepared to call the police. My managers and collegues proceded very wrong.

I'll just leave and put an end to this sad story. If there's someone who lose then this someone is the company.

s.a.f. I feel like sh*t in the office. I cant stand it.

Computer engineer.

That reminds me of a commercial I saw for CareerBuilder.com (maybe you've seen this one). A well dressed man goes to work and all of his co-workers are monkeys- xeroxing their asses and flinging crap around like total primates. Time to get a new job IBM.

I put an end to the story. No more preconception and lack of respect. Now its one month wandering in the company and look to no one's face.

Well i'll have to start from zero.
