Today I was blamed by my mentor

Hot 4614 views. 2014-6-5 16:31

I felt so sad today,because I was blamed by my mentor. I was so heartbreaking as if all my efforts that I had done were ruined thoroughly. I have mentioned here before that the staff in my office always asked me to do this and to do that.Their tasks occupied most of my time and severely distracted me from my own study. I have sacrificed so much to compensate for my missed study,but their overloaded work made me unable to accomplish my own work even though I worked until very late every day. I worked so hard,but sometimes I also felt tired, so my work efficiency is not high enough. My mentor had asked me to do something,but I failed just because of the endless work given by other staff. My mentor didn't know what I I was doing everyday,just thought I was done my own work such as studying and doing experiments. He didn't know the staff under his charge regarded me as their secretary. So today when he asked me what I had done these days,I really felt embarrassed to say. Struggling for some while,I decided to speak out the truth. He was a little shocked, he hadn't expected that his staff could let me do those many work. I felt so wronged.While my mentor's sympathy did not last long.He talked with me in a blaming tone. That feeling makes me worse as if all the work I had done is useless and meaningless. So far,my own work didn't achieve great advancement,I am aimless and overwhelmed again. What should I do? My mentor is the leader of our team, he just  has a short conversation with me occasionally when he accomplished all his work.Sincerely speaking, my current bad performance is not my own fault, being in such circumstance,what can I do?Do I have any other choice? Do I have the right to say no? The fact is I am just a student,an incapable student,what I can do is to endure because all my efforts have been taken for granted.They would not have sympathy for me even the tasks are hard,time-consuming and energy-consuming,in their eyes I am just an inexpensive labor. I don't need others's sympathy,because I know the society is so.

complain has no effect on your success, just try to manage your time, or say "no" to others when you are not willing to do so.

this socity does so, sometimes we have no other better ideas but bow to authority, now as a student you have more or less realized its badness of this world, which is not so bad, after graduation, there are more unwilling things we are going to meet.
A mentor who is supposed to be nice to students and guide them, while now, it changes, students are all the cheap labour usually without any rewards.
We grow up with ups and downs seeing its world.

I am sorry to say that everyone involved is wrong and at fault. Every company has it's own system and every staff has his own responsibilities. The work assigned to staff comes from the management down. It is system failure if staff freely assign their work to others, otherwise, everything would be in a mess like it is now.

First you yourself must know your own role in the company. Your work comes down from your superiors and management. You must first complete the designated work assigned to you first, then if you have extra time, you can assist and help others, however, you must first foresee and calculate the free time you have to help others. It is quite unlikely that you would have much time left to help others, but it does give you a good image if you can help others occasionally. There is no such thing as don't know how to refuse requests from others, because they all know you have your own regular work and studies. You don't have to be a scared little sheep. Just tell them politely and diplomatically and I am sure they would understand, and if they blame you or accuse you of being unhelpful then let it be. You are a good hardworking person but you can't please everybody. Nobody can.

So what are you doing in this company?  Are you working in this firm as a temporary intern?  to bet honest,  you don't really need to make a big deal about it,  don't take this job too seriously, you probably are going to work there for just a short term just to get kind of internship report,  you shouldn't flatter those people especially those who can't write down a single word in the internship report by doing what they ask you to do,  only the team leader matters,   we had a graduate student last year working temporarily in our office, he never gave a damn to our commands, and was even often absent from work for no reason,  so why not take uncompromising attitude to them
