Re^3: Disapointed at work

No, fellow BUU. I wasn't hired because of the competencies that they're using. I don't even have a salary compatible with those competencies roles.

They pay me as I'm a perl programmer, and I buy books, go to workshops and study perl (on my own expenses). That's fine.

When they applied for the public contest, they presented me as an Oracle DBA (I have the competences, but never played that role here!). This is a more expensive role, and I never received even a single hour as an Oracle DBA here. And that hurts.

Ah. I see. Why don't you tell them that? Tell them that you feel they are taking advantage of your skillset but not compensating you appropiately.	[reply]

Most companies assume that if you're in a position which doesn't take advantage of all your qualifications and are being paid accordingly then you'll happily move to a position which does take advantage of more of your qualifications and comes with better pay at a later date. If this assumption is incorrect, and the employee wishes to be undervalued and underutilised even when a need arises for previously unused talent and skills, then the employer should be made aware of those feelings.
