Imagine that both you and your colleague have similar roles. You both work equally hard, and you're both experts in your field.

Your colleague consistently gets recognized for her achievements, with raises, praise, and interesting projects.

You, meanwhile, don't get any recognition at all, even though your work is just as good as hers. As a result, you're frustrated, and you're starting to doubt your abilities.

It's dispiriting when one person gets recognition for hard work, while other colleagues, who perform to the same standard, go unnoticed. If it's happened to you, then you'll know just how frustrating this can be!
