Boo hoo. So if you're blessed with the talent and ability to exceed expextation you're still a victim? People's ability to victimize themselves never ceases to amaze me.
Ever parent-teacher meeting:
"I feel like the class is moving too slowly for you. I'm going to give you extension work so tell me if you feel bored at any time."
Parents: That sounds good, right?
Me: Yeah, that sounds great!
Me, internally: no no no no nO NO NONONO
If you're asked to do more, you become more valuable. If you demonstrate you can handle it, that's when you ask for more money or a reward. If it's mopping floors, where being the best won't get you far, ask for more by learning another skill or going to school, then do something you can get paid for. People treat you the way you let them. If you take on more and more for free it's rare you'll be given anything for it unless you assert your value. It's "friend zone" for jobs. Bring your best game, ask for what you want, be ready to walk away. If you get treated like shit it's because you've told them it's ok to treat you that way. Are you easily replaceable? If so, work on becoming a valuable asset. Many jobs are meat grinders a monkey can do, and the added skill doesn't equal profit even if you're better at it than a noob. Invest in you, and if you're worth it don't let people treat you like you aren't. Any work is good work if you do it with pride. But to get paid, follow my advice.
