At my job there is 2 people working together always and when there is a certain rule that needs to be enforced and something needs to be done, my boss tells the other person that is working and doesn’t even tell me what is going on! All the eye contact is on the other person and not the both of us. This makes me feel really upset. I work very hard and look presentable. Why does this have to happen to me?
I’m not sure I understand, but it sounds like your boss sees that other person as the “next in command”.
To be more “visible”, I recommend putting yourself out there with the boss. Ask some questions, ask for help. And always work harder than that other person!
I agree.
Be the one he can depend on, the one who asks the good questions, the one who is getting the job done.
