I work in a company that has two stratas. Ivy-leaguers doing this after they made money on wall st or trust fund babies. There is a lower caste of engineers, customer service and low-level account reps. The upper caste likes to to throw shade sometimes. I am the top performer on my team and have single handledly enabled millions of revenue yet when they hear I don't belong to the same group of people, I get shitty comments and generally excluded from decisions. The cycle is self-perpuating. What to do?
If you’re not learning new things: leave
Ignore and leave.
It probably still beats the road crew. If the pay is good, collect the biweekly paychecks and hang out with the people you do like.
The crowd you're trying to get in with doesn't sound fun but wealth and privilege is always going to be elusive and unfair. If you weren't born with it, don't expect it to just magically welcome you just because you got older and started a career. Why do you think you making someone else millions in revenue is the same as them making millions for themselves?
Brilliant comment ! Thank you !
Single handedly? You build the whole product and sold it managed the commerce...skeptical how single handedly it was.
Sorry that you feel this way. This happens all the time, to many people. When it happens to me, all I think is, it's ok to be average, it is ok to be less intelligent than others. No matter what, there will always be others who are or atleast think, that they are smarter and will throw snide comments at you.
