Office Politics

Constant fear of being replaced but AI software developer. I am an introvert and no extrovert management guru, had planned to stick as individual Contributor, learning new tech stack now and then and riding the skill Demand wave for new tech stacks but now its all becoming irrelevant in future, dont have business acen nor any family background of businessman/entrepreneurship. How will I sustain my family ?

Career wise, I want to switch my job and as a Product Designer I need to have a portfolio, which is another big task, I am trying but writing a case study on what and all I did here is too time consuming. And then I want to do everything from scratch. I mean why?! I don't like where I am right now and it's eating me up, but I like the work I am doing too, it's just the environment and company's work culture and how I am being underpaid, and all. ahhhh. So much. Well I am trying and working on my portfolio. Because that's just the first step. Future wise, all my mind can think about AI. Relationship wise, idk bro, what am I doing? Sometimes I think it would have been so much easier if I was just different. Be okay with things and just roll with, what's given. But noo, I gotta care about a lot of things. Then I am turning 26! 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

I've been stuck between A and B A: People who know my high calibre, remind me of it once in a while, by meeting once in a while B: People who know my capacity and tolerance, drag me down in the most unknowing way, meet them daily/regular. The makeup is that I feel somewhere I'm doing just okay, but, no.

One guy trying to hijack my profile for his growth. This guy keeps on feeding false narrative about my function to senior management and putting wrong expectations in joint meeting (which are not even by kra) Unfortunately senior management seems to be too much obliged to him due to reasons known to them and putting pressure on me. He is an old timer in the company and I am just 8 months old in the company
