Make yourself noticed. You need to speak up, make sure they know who you are... Don?t ride the boat and wait for them to see you, be aggressive and speak up. When he say's "I'll be away on Vacation" you need to speak up and mention that you are very knowledgeable with the information as you have been working on the project from the get-go, you can supply all information required and there is no need for the meeting to be cancelled while your co-worker is on vacation.
Sooner rather then later, they will realize who you are, that you are in the same situation, and soon they will be sad that you are going on vacation...
Yes exactly! I just told maziwanka this. I know him, and he's seriously one of the most naturally smart kids here (ask aharami too). But mazi, you gotta speak up then and there. I think the email was good, but really you shold have said something! It won't hurt and they probably just don't even know if you feel confident enough to talk about it, because you don't volunteer to. Just let them know. Everybody's had a first job before and they know what it's like. But they also recognise initiative when they see it, and you have to demonstrate that.
EDIT: typos
Well on this forum you display an attitude problem about work. I have a feeling it comes off at work even be it through passive aggressive behavior. It also sounds like you don't yet understand the difference between being technically competent and doing your job well.
I can vouch for Maziwanka though. His attitude is top notch, and as i mentioned in my previous post, he is seriously one of the smartest people one can meet and is headed for the top. He's too modest though, and I think people can take advantage of it. So i'll just clear up the fact with you that his is both technically competent and does his job very well.
simply stated, work doesn't interest me. i guess my lack of enthusiasm might come out in certain ways in my interactions at work. however, i do realize the difference between tech competence and doing a job well. my main problem at work is my quiet nature.
I don't know about you, but my appreciation comes every month in the form of a generous wire transfer of a few thousand ducats straight to my bank account. You're welcome, boss.

true, but it was meant as a joke? like unfortunately, im not vacation
but i wouldnt include the smiley face in the email! haha
So you've got a good result from being a bit more assertive and promoting yourself and your abilities to the boss. This is a good outcome, right?
yea definitely. she's in constant contact with the MDs around the world, so my name should pop up if there's a discussion on the project.
nice. see that what I'm (and everyone else) is talking about! The thing is, like I just told you, you missed an opportunity to make this known to all the other global managers during the meeting. Enxt time just speak up then and there.
Ive been feeling the same thing like you for the past few months, just today when i was going to call in sick i found out that i got a 10% raise. now i feel bad about calling in sick. lol

OP if your peers have any character judgement ability whatsoever, they will sense your willingness to contribute and it will pay off for you in the future. what's more is you're young @ 23 and everyone above you in age, seniority and experience knows that you're the future. hang in there
