I recently had a tough conversation with my boss after three years at the company. He bluntly told me that I am of low value to the organization, which was a hard pill to swallow given my dedication and effort. My role involves finding work from clients to bill my hours, and if I'm not billing, it’s considered downtime. They expect me to juggle multiple roles — salesman, engineer, and technician — all while traveling, but the pay and benefits don’t reflect this workload. Lately, there’s been a shortage of work, and the shift in my boss's tone has been noticeable. Instead of congratulating me on my contributions, I now receive constant reminders that I’m not meeting expectations. The job is incredibly stressful, as I troubleshoot issues on-site for clients. I’ve noticed that while turnover used to be high, people are now sticking around due to the current economic climate. I’m feeling stuck and frustrated. I almost sent an email to quit out of anger, but I wonder if that’s what they want. I’ve realized that I haven’t built many transferable skills in these three years since I focused on learning the company’s proprietary technology. To counter this, I’m using my free time to learn about IT and programming in hopes of transitioning to a new role, but the outlook feels bleak right now.
