In today's corporate America, being under appreciated is pretty normal. After the last couple layoffs, I am the only Procurement Quality Engineer left with my company. Now I do as much of the work of 3 as I can. My company gave no raises/no bonuses last year. This year we may get a 3% raise, which will be offset by a rise in employee medical costs.
Hey, but Washington State has the 3rd highest unemployment rate and Boeing has already laid-off over 30,000 people and announced another 10,000 will be cut this year (most of them in Washington State as well). So until the economy recovers you try to just suck it up.
Of course when the economy does recover, I expect that many companies that have treated the workers poorly (like mine) will be be wondering why they can't keep anyone. I think it's call Karma...
