Führung: „Die Anerkennung für meine Arbeit bekommt jemand über mir“ – Das Leid der stillen Schaffer

Sophie Schütze has been working in her role for over seven years, but she is frustrated, though she expresses her frustration quietly. She is now ready to speak out about the lack of recognition she feels and how it affects her motivation.

Schütze's daily work at a government agency involves organizing, prioritizing, scheduling appointments, making phone calls, verifying the completeness of files, and arranging missing documents. She firmly believes that her work should be of high quality and completed on time. Schütze insists that she does the job well, but she is hesitant to advocate for her efforts publicly.

She does not want her name or her employer's name to be published, as she fears her personal performance will go unnoticed. Schütze acknowledges that her work is utilized, but she believes that recognition for her contributions goes to someone else. She wonders if extroverted employees should become more vocal to address these issues.
