I improved the process of completing the task, performing the task more quickly and accurately. My immediate supervisor, who had been in his position for a long time, barely acknowledged what I had done. His main concern was getting data from me and my colleagues so he could complete his daily needs. I now realize that he was a first level leader, he didn't create a strong team but pitted employees against each other. I saw other employees who worked for him only doing the minimum required of them. This would drive me crazy, as I was much more productive, completed my tasks efficiently, and more accurately than others, all while being under-reported. I received positive feedback from some of my supervisor's superiors, and these recognitions kept me motivated despite my leader's short responses
