Punished for being efficient/ working smart?
I have been working at an up and coming real estate developer for almost 7 months now. I started out without any experience in real estate development, but since I've always been a really faster learner, I rapidly picked up everything and was able to tackle all kinds of tasks independently within a matter of 2-3 weeks. Later into the job, as I became more and more proficient, I started to "own" my own deals and market 100% independently. More than one supervisors have commented in private that I did a lot of work better than anyone else did. Also, I gradually realized that it always takes me less time to finish the same amount of work of the same complexity than it takes my peers. You would probably think it's a good thing, but I started to notice that 1 or 2 colleagues on the team seem to think that I don't get enough workload and that I am not "busy" enough - judging from the time it takes me to finish my work instead of the actual workload, which they are not keeping tabs on. One even explicitly mentioned to me once that " I have more bandwidth" and "my workload is lighter", while it is actually the opposite.
I started to get more untraditional work that no one else gets, tasks that are not within my scope, and the thorniest deals that have never been worked on by anyone within the company before. I am also expected to cover others' work sometimes, leaving me wonder why on earth does it take some of my colleagues so long to finish the simplest task (oh yes, endless chit chat, lengthy lunch break, and retard proficiency of excel, of course).
To be honest, I am more than happy to help my teammates out when I have the capacity, and I enjoy working on gnarly deals since it intellectually stimulates me, but I am frustrated that the efficiency and quality of my work are not recognized and appreciated by some colleagues, and instead make them think the opposite. I am also paranoid that I won't get the pay raise I expect and deserve. I have no legit reason to be paranoid since the year end review is still months away, but after reading so many posts about work place manipulation and unfair treatment, I couldn't help. Life is too short for futile effort.
我知道这并不是他们的错 - 跟踪比实际工作量要完成的任务需要多长时间要容易得多；但是，我确实认为这会鼓励平庸，并劝阻创造力和生产力。这是糟糕的钱开始驱动好钱的方式。
有没有人在类似的情况下发现自己，你们是如何处理的？另外，如果我不以正确的方式看待它，而直接成为一个脾气暴躁的b ****，请随时给我一个现实的一巴掌。即使你们中的一些人可能从未遇到过此类问题，任何建议/洞察力都将不胜感激。
Thank you all in advance!
Sincerely

The nail that sticks up gets hammered down. I'd say it's a blessing and a curse. Clearly you're being recognized as someone who is smart and competent, but do the people that matter (i.e. your superiors) know and do they truly appreciate your talents? If so, I'd stick it out and get promoted etc., if not, then I'd take my skills elsewhere.
This is paralleled by theWSO格言是说，因为您将在两年内离开，所以您的职业生涯没有长期影响，这几乎永远不值得成为顶级水桶。另一方面，如果您想成为一名职业银行家，那可能值得以这种方式脱颖而出。
感谢您的建议！这真的很有见地。但是，我怀疑我的能力会被一些同事所认可，因为他们以某种方式认为我没有足够的工作，这就是为什么我总是用尽了工作。我觉得我的能力被解释为轻巧的工作量，这让我很困扰，尤其是当其中一个人走来走去并告诉我的主管“我的工作量太轻”时。我应该如何弄清自己的盘子上有很多吨，我只是有效的，还是我根本不解释？
开始花更长的时间来完成任务。让他们认为您忙碌，您可以真正放松并以柔和的速度而不是冲刺完成工作，避免倦怠
Have been in this situation, my advice is to always seem busy even if you're not. Old Army trick, just look busy at all times otherwise you're going to get asked to clean the latrines.
那些效率低的人没有能力区分自己的萧条和工作效率的人，因此他们的思想懒惰地认为您不像他们那样忙碌。他们会为此不喜欢您，或者，如果他们意识到您的工作要比他们更好的工作，他们也会不喜欢您，因为大多数人小而不安全。
Make sure the bosses know you're cranking out good work, and let everyone who is your peer or below you think you're slammed all the time.
谢谢！可靠的建议。

Do you have a senior mentor or supporter who recognizes your abilities and that you trust? If so, I would maybe ask that person for advice (while being careful not to seem overly critical of the other employees making these comments towards you). They can give you perspective more suited to your specific situation, but it also has the benefit of making sure they're aware of the situation and in your corner in terms of performance reviews, etc. If others in the office are just giving you more work because you can handle it, that's one thing. If they genuinely think you have a light workload or are antagonistic towards you, then I would think you're at risk of getting average reviews or worse even though you're a high performer and doing more work.
