career-related therapy ??

Question

I just got out of college a few years ago... when I compare my career experience to that of others in my field (paralegal) who do the same tasks it seems like I'm not making nearly what I'm worth, and that I am MUCH more active throughout the workday.... furthermore, I've gotten into a problem where basically I've been competing with my boss for work (so then my boss claims that my performance is sub-par to the big boss to muscle me out). This has evolved into a deep personal problem --- I feel lousy and incompetent - even though nobody's complained about my work who's truely on the "recieving" end of it, now I'm getting told I'm doing a bad job, and every day is just terrible.

Any professional counselors that can help ppl develop some human capital or just give good advice for situations like this... I I hate knowing when you look at the avg or the norm I'm way off the curve as far as $$$/productivity goes and furthermore the office politics are getting just plain hateful.

I guess this does sound a little proud -- I certainly am being civil about the ordeal and I'm not gonna die or file a lawsuit.... another detail though is my responsibilities have been cut back significantly and also, I neverINTENDed to be "competing" w/ my boss (good chance I'm the LAST person around there who would pull something disrespectful) and I feel pretty badly about having that kind of a thing going on.... but on the same token, I would NEVER resort to setting someone up out of spite to make them look bad... that's real poor ethics, makes me lose a lot of respect for the guy. And my bosses seem angry IN ANTICIPATION OF me going to some big shot lawyer to get a better set up --- again something I would not and have not considered doing....

I'm venting, not helping, again my question is are the professionals out there who can give career advice like counselors etc...

that could really help to lay this one out objectively if possible...

Answer 1

All i really know if it's that bad a situation, it might not be worth it to stay there.

Can you get a discrimination suit going for yourself? You've got the training.

If this doesn't work out, it's not meant too, there is something just waiting for you.

Can you advertise in the paper and somehow work solo? Wishing you luck.

Oh, and you can get a career counselor. Maybe where you went to school.

I have heard of a job coach, at the employment office, but i"m not sure they work with people as high as you're level.

Answer 2

Your first mistake is competing with your boss, big big mistake there. Also, if you've just gotten out of college you are still in the learning phase and should ask to be mentored, not jeopardizing your job by being a smart alec and competing with your boss.

Maybe just a bit humility might help. You need to observe and learn, not be The Donald fresh out of college.

I'm way off the curve too honey, but I don't burn my bridges. There is a lot of "brown nosing" going on out there not to mention "I know someone who knows someone" garbage. That's life and you need to figure out how to work around it. Mostly it has to do with not pissing anyone supervising you off. Keep working hard and moving up. Make sure you retain integrity along with obtaining some humility.
