Lets say you worked 75 hrs a week? 5 days a week- So that comes to around 15 hrs a day. That is a lot. Even with 6 days that is 12 hrs a week. Never do that again. Unless you are working on your own venture or have somebody over you, a boss that has agreed to reward you in return before hand. My guess is you work at a big corporate. Then Im sorry to break out the bad news to you. You managers knows too well that you are hard working and deliver results. But he likely has a political cartel going on, due to which it doesn't really matter how hard you work. In fact you can even do 120 hr work week and all you would be at the end is a useful work donkey on which he can dump all the work while he rewards his lackeys. Never ever ever, contribute good work to an unfair system. And yes you got it right, your only option is to keep hopping jobs until you find the right manager. There is no known solution to this problem unless you wish to be as big a fraud and cheat as much as they are or bigger. The only advice I can give to you is to not take this to your head. Spend your time being productive, useful and gaining skills as you spend time in this profession. These investment pay on the longer run. But as far office politics itself is concerned. Alas there is no other solution. Unless you find a manager that can take care of you, or you are just enjoying an insane patch of luck. You just have to suffer through politics. No known solution exists.
