I think you associate life with work too much. You should probably take a vacation, and get a hard look at yourself what you want to achieve in life. The way I understand it is you want to be recognized for the work you put in, but shit happens. You want stuff done, but others don't see the same way. You might just not be seeing things from their perspective. You seem to have a very opinionated view of what your life should be. Maybe these opinionated views stem from what others, (friends family coworkers, society etc) expect. What are your expectations? I wouldn't be surprised if you are having an identity crisis right now either or some form of delusions of grandeur. A company at the end of the day is just a company. Its not your sole identity and being. If you walk in a room full of random people, and the first thing you introduce about yourself is how you work for XYZ company and only talk about all the great things at XYZ, then this is a pretty good indicator. Think FORD (Family, occupation, recreation, dreams). You only seem to be talking about occupation nothing else, thats 1/4 of what defines you Related article I wrote in this hackernews post about lack of motivation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17695868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17695868 and knowledge worth knowing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17740743 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17740743
