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

Sophie Schütze has been working in her job for over seven years, but she is frustrated, albeit almost always silently. Now, she wants to speak out about the lack of recognition she feels and how it dampens her enthusiasm for her work, leading her to be on the verge of being dismissed. Her daily routine at a government agency involves organizing, prioritizing, scheduling appointments, making phone calls, verifying the completeness of files, and arranging missing documents.

Schütze insists on maintaining high-quality work and meeting deadlines, stating, "I know that I do good work." However, she is reluctant to represent her performance publicly, preferring not to use her own name or her employer's name. She acknowledges that her work may be utilized, but recognition for it is often given to someone else. The question arises: should more outspoken employees be the solution for introverted colleagues?
