Delhi woman quits job citing lack of appreciation and recognition.
Her viral post highlights importance of feeling valued at work.
Users agree small gestures boost motivation and workplace satisfaction.
In every workplace, appreciation is essential for keeping people motivated and engaged. A recent post from Delhi woman highlights how feeling valued for one’s work is important for career decisions and overall job satisfaction.
Importance of Appreciation at Work
A Delhi-based professional, Simriti Batish who worked as an Advanced Assurance Associate in a MNC recently shared a LinkedIn post that her last day of work was one of the saddest days of her life, not because she was leaving the organization, but as she felt her efforts weren’t fully acknowledged. Her experience emphasizes how important appreciation is in making a environment great place to work.
She reflected on her experience of leaving the company after 1.5 years of dedication by noting that despite her consistent efforts, there was no formal acknowledgment or farewell. Smriti came to understand the value of expressing gratitude to employees and how easy it is to feel overlooked in large corporations.
She wrote while sharing her experience: “It made me realise how replaceable you can feel in big corporate structures (while it may not hold true for all the teams and companies).” She also noted that small acts of appreciation go a long way toward making the work experience memorable beyond the hours recorded or tasks performed.
She thinks that leaving her role was the right choice for her and emphasized the importance of recognizing how much of an impact making someone feel valued can have in the workplace.
She end her post by saying, “To everyone who feels their efforts are overlooked, just know that they matter even if they go unnoticed sometimes.”
Reaction from Users
This post quickly went viral, sparking widespread discussion with users sharing their thoughts and reactions.
A user wrote, “A respected senior in my first organization gave me a golden lesson, which seems relevant here. A job is a tool for earning money and polishing skills, nothing more, nothing less.”
He added that appreciation, whether received in loads or not, should not bother you. Lack of recognition affects us only because our brains are hardwired to feel good when praised, a habit formed from school days when teachers acknowledged our efforts.
Another user commented, “Totally feel this! Recognition goes a long way, sometimes it’s the small gestures that make people feel truly valued. Glad you’re moving to a place that appreciates you!”
Another user wrote, “Exactly! So many people leave not because of work, but because they never felt valued.”
