5 Signs You're Undervalued at Work
https://faithfulontheclock.captivate.fm/episode/5-signs-youre-undervalued-at-work
In today’s competitive market, people don’t just want great pay. They want to feel valued. Faithful on the Clock Episode 49 lays out the biggest signs your team or boss isn’t giving you your full due.
Timestamps:
[00:05] - Intro
[00:32] - The rates of dissatisfaction at work are high, especially now in the Great Resignation. But you deserve to be in a place where you feel valued and don’t have to settle.
[01:23] - Sign #1 - Compensation isn’t so great compared to other companies. But remember, smaller companies might just not have the budget other businesses do. So look at how others interact with you, too.
[02:27] - Sign #2 - People don’t praise you. The kudos doesn’t have to be about big things, but it should be consistent enough to send the message that people see the effort you’re putting in. Take into account how your coworkers or boss praise everyone, though, because you might be looking for more than they usually give, in which case their lack of support isn’t personal.
[03:48] - Sign #3 - You haven’t been promoted or gotten a raise in a while. Good leaders will talk to you about your dreams and potential and reward accordingly. Bad managers, however, will pile on responsibilities without giving any kind of thanks or recognition for the extra effort.
[05:44] - Sign #4 - People won’t let you voice your opinions. People who value you will ask for your input and really hear you out.
[06:33] - Sign #5 - You don’t feel motivated or inspired. This usually happens because the company isn’t communicating a clear goal or vision and is failing to explain how workers fit into the plan. But that failure and poor communication stem from the fact they take an “anybody can do this” approach to the roles in the business and don’t see people as true individuals.
[08:01] - If you’re in a position of leadership, evaluate what you are doing in terms of showing that you value your team. Be upfront and ask for feedback about it.
[08:45] - No matter how you are treated, God has a plan for you. He has valued you so much He gave His only Son for you. So stick up for yourself.
