In the workplace, the more reliable your boss thinks you are, the more work you will be given. The majority of employees hope that their efforts will be rewarded. However, if you are given a large workload without any returns, it could be because your boss only values their own people and only gives them easy tasks and core business activities. This is the reality for most employees. Recognizing this truth is important, as being reliable without any rewards will only hold you back and prevent you from getting promoted.

If your boss is only using you and you cannot change the situation, you need to change your mindset and approach. Learn to control your time and consider your future during your free time. You can read more books, connect with industry professionals, improve your skills, and build your network. You can also try cross-functional work, enhance your skills in other departments, evaluate your worth in the job market, and explore additional sources of income through finance and investments.

Never complain about being talented but unnoticed, and don't give up on your dreams. Take control of your own destiny and make the necessary changes. 

When feeling frustrated, find a place to heal and recover. Even though you may work hard and excel, if you are not connected to the right people, you will never have opportunities for growth. You may be assigned menial tasks and even if you achieve success, someone else will take credit.

This can be discouraging, especially when there seems to be no end in sight. 

Remember, no job is without its grievances, but we must learn to accept and process them. If we were younger, we might have left, but as responsible adults, we have to continue working for our families. We have to choose to be positive and optimistic, giving ourselves time to heal before facing work and life challenges.

We have to control our emotions and learn to deal with people. If we cannot control our emotions, we cannot control our own lives. Taking a break and finding ways to relax and adjust our mindset can greatly improve our well-being and ability to handle situations. It's important to control emotions not only in the workplace but also in life. Impulsive reactions can lead to mistakes and offend others.

Don't provoke others, especially your boss, as it can lead to serious consequences. Taking a step back and adjusting our attitudes can bring about positive changes and opportunities. 

When faced with problems that cannot be changed, try to approach them with wisdom and look for opportunities to learn and improve.

Accept the reality and adapt to it with a positive mindset. Avoid resentment and continuous complaints as they will hinder your work and future development. Analyze the situation and the key people involved. Seek advice from higher-ups, colleagues, and clients to gain different perspectives. The most important thing is to change ourselves rather than expecting others to change. Recognize our own mistakes instead of blaming others unless we have the power to make the final decision.
