Why bother trying

Welcome to my newest blog post, this is a little different for me than the other stuff I have written about.  In my head it feels like more of a rant and frustration rather than a subject or topic I want to put my opinion.   I know logically some of the points are probably whining and overthought.

If you haven’t guessed by my blog name (code monkey), I make a living as an software developer.  Over the past year or so I have been placed on a couple of projects and well as my boss has stated “you performed better than what we thought, and we have asked a lot of you”.  Sounds good right?  Well that’s what I thought, I figured I would be up for a promotion or maybe a nice pay increase, they did admit my work performance was high and they didn’t expect me to do so well with the additional responsibility they gave me.  I got nothing, other than a cheap thank you gift!
