So in my job which I’ve been in a couple of years this is the one thing that has really screwed me over big style. I’m sure you know they type of person I’m talking about, knows everything, it’s all about me me and me and are you focusing on me because it’s all about me, knows everything, they’re never wrong.
Myself I’m the polar opposite, I’m shy, humble, introverted. What really pisses me off is I know I’ll never win against these kind of people so I just sort of slot in behind them even though I know they’re wrong and don’t have a clue.
In work for example, I’d be classed as the dogs body, I do the shit these other people think they’re too good to do and I do it well without much complaint so I’m stuck there. Now from an outsider looking at this situation would say I’m perhaps least experienced. But let’s roll out the CV’s, I’m the eldest (46) am the only employee with any recognised qualifications in this firm, I’m the most experienced as I’m in this line of work since i left school at 16 yet I’m bottom of the pecking order all because of the above, I can’t blow my own trumpet like these other guys
