Wouldn't it seem fair that if you helped a colleague from day one when he started, always lended a hand when they asked, that when that person begins to get all of the high end "rewarding" work and you don't, he no longer obviously deserves any help from you? And if you do continue to help, isn't it only counterproductive to your own goals seeing that the other now seems to be in favor of the people assigning work?
What do others think of this rationale?
I have always felt that if you always help the others around you, you in turn will be rewarded as well. That does not seem to be the case for me these days, and I am beginning to think that I need to help myself more these days, and help others less.
