Working Hard or Hardly Living? My Career Dilemma

Ever feel like you’re the engine keeping the whole workplace running, but no one seems to notice? That’s me lately. I moved across the country for family, left a cushy job, and landed in a new city where I finally found work in manufacturing—my comfort zone, but with a much smaller paycheck. Despite my experience, I’m doing twice the work of my coworkers, fixing old messes, and even teaching my manager a thing or two. Yet, no one’s talking promotions or raises. Sometimes I wonder if my boss is just taking credit for my hustle while I’m left wondering if it’s all worth it. I’m not broke, but with the cost of living climbing, I’m starting to feel stuck. Ever been in a spot where you’re essential but invisible? How do you push for what you deserve without rocking the boat?
