Just I find a good common question over internet, shall I leave my current job as I feel neglect in company of seniors, they do not assign any work, only I am wasting time.
This is one of the most common problems in many companies. Reasons could be any and many, but in the offices someone, somewhere have feeling of rejection, sitting alone, and feeling burdened and depressed. This not happen only with juniors but also with seniors. This deposits a lot of frustration in mind and ultimately harm both the individual and the company. Very few CEOs bother about employee happiness, nobody cares.
In the October of 2025, though it was pure chance, I met 2 minor accidents, in a gap of less than 2 hours. I was feeling very depressed, frustrated and uncertain. I am working with a company since two decades, I thought to inform them, send a short mobile message to CEO and reply was hilarious, Increase Production.
One of your employee is bleeding and you are talking production, even if employee is of no value to you then too out of human nature you can lend some kind words just to maintain business relations. Surprisingly, I didn't found anything strange in his message, because over the years I learnt when you are needy nobody is your friend. You have to take care for yourself your own way.
Coming to the question, my answer is below to all those who feel rejected in workplace environment,
SENIOR means I understand a responsible person, and when seniors make a team, then such a team has the responsibility to take everyone together from other team, freshers, experienced, insiders and outsiders and build a company culture. According to HBRs 10 Must Read On Teams, often companies don't build team, indeed they assemble a few people together, make a group and call it Team, which is not. Team means it should work together in mutual cooperation with each other, it should drive a purpose, it should add value to company. Teams are seen less often.
Incidentally, whether, by chance or choice, if you are working with a company or team where you feel neglect, whether you are/or not, manage yourself first. A job comes in hand with efforts, its not come for free, you struggle a lot before you get that office cubical to work.
1. Do not waste your time and energy in thinking about other members.
2. Give your 100% to work, perform, strive for gold standard of work.
3. Do not raise fight, instead try to understand other members and manage the situation.
4. Never leave your job in a hurry, such decisions are costly. First secure new job, only then think of to leave old job if its compulsory to do so.
5. In any workplace, you may or may not feel lonely, lot depends on you, nobody is master of the game. Slowly you will learn, even if in your senior years you will have to manage yourself in one such group.
6. Never carry frustration to home, else you will sure harm yourself first. Workplace problems must not be taken to home and vice-versa.
7. Create positive work environment, be funny, people will like you for one reason or others, by making adjustment in workplace environment and spreading positive energy, you can build next best product.
