Ever feel like you’re the dumbest person in the meeting?
Like you’re constantly misunderstood, underpaid, overlooked?
Here’s a thought no one gives you when you’re spiraling:
What if you’re not failing… you’re just in the wrong room?
🚪 Why the Room Matters:
- Wrong bosses make you doubt yourself.
- Toxic teams crush confidence faster than bad coffee.
- Companies stuck in old ways won’t see your potential.
You think you’re not smart enough, not talented enough, not “leadership material.” But sometimes, it’s just the room that’s broken — not you.
🛠️ How to Know It’s the Room, Not You:
- Your ideas always get dismissed… until someone else says them.
- You’re doing amazing work but stuck in the same title.
- Every promotion goes to someone who “fits the mold.”
- You’ve been told to “tone it down” more than once.
🚀 Your Move:
- Change the room. Apply elsewhere. Network. Go where your energy fits.
- Find rooms that see you. Environments where your weirdness, boldness, creativity = superpower.
- Stop shrinking. You weren’t made to squeeze into spaces built for smaller dreams.
✊ DamnJobs Opinion:
Sometimes leaving isn’t quitting — it’s leveling up.
If you feel like a failure, look around. It might not be you.
It might just be the wrong damn room.
