It hurts when a senior employee has done so much for her co-workers, helped them in every way she could, even for the company doing the best an employee can do for the company, fought against the director for employees, and now the same employees, because of a misunderstanding, are not reciprocating.
It hurts the most when you teach everything to your subordinate and then she just supersedes you, wanting your position.
It hurts so much when you fight against the fraud happening in the company but then your immediate boss goes against you.
It hurts when you are working honestly towards the goal of your company, but your boss gives away your responsibilities to your subordinate without informing you.
It hurts so much, but you can't leave the job as you have so many liabilities on you...

Hi Yogita,
Have you thought about why all that has happened? Whenever you are working against the tides, it is natural to face lots of problems. The tides coming from the opposite side will hurt you and take you farther from your destination. However, like a good swimmer, never lose hope. Keep working with the same moral values and continue working against the tides.
I'm sure the difficulties are there. Talk it out with your seniors. Ask them openly why all this is happening and how they can give your responsibilities to your junior without any explanation. Unless you raise the question marks, the management will not understand it. It's your right to know all this, and it's legal as well.
So, all the best.

Dear Archna,
Thanks for your advice. For sure, there are many difficulties, but actually, the problem is I have 2 bosses - the Executive Director and the Managing Director. I have gone against my ED as he has committed fraud, but I am lucky to have the MD on my side. Just imagine what a war.

Dear Ms. Yogita,
You sound very pained with what has happened to you in the office.
What I learn from your writing is that you are deeply pained because of your subordinate's changed behavior and bias that has happened to you because of her. I can understand what you are going through, but this is the time to learn a lesson from what has happened so that you can save yourself from future hurt.
My experience tells me that successful people have well-balanced their emotional and logical selves, and that is what is called being professional, I feel.
Many times we get emotional and get very close to our subordinates (or with our seniors), share too many things with them, try to be good with them, feel very comfortable with them, and also make them comfortable for that matter. This all jolly good scenario looks nice for some time; however, as days change and challenges increase, people look after their self-interests. And there is nothing wrong in it because we cannot control people and their behavior.
You need to muster internal strength and stay put in the situation. Yes, injustice has happened to you, but reciprocating now will not help you. Stay calm and stable. Don't blame others or yourself for anything; it is part of life, and we are going to meet many such people in our lives. Just look at it as an experience and learn from it. When time passes, the world will realize who is right and who is wrong. Before that, you need to be okay. If you get hurt and keep simmering from the inside, it's your loss. Look at the whole scenario as a third person and just laugh at it. It is difficult, I know, but you don't have a choice as you don't even want to quit.
So the moral of the story is to relax, it's okay. You can't change people, so just take care of yourself and don't get hurt by thinking of painful situations. Go out, chill out with your friends, and remember work is just part of your life; it is not everything. Don't let it affect you so much.
Take care,
Prajakta.
