49>63 respect in the workplace

[synthesis]

Thanks in advance to those who read and respond to this question.

I am in a work situation (I do government policy) where my significant and far-reaching contributions have been deliberately ignored, trivialized, or mistakenly attributed to others for some time. I have contributed to this dynamic somewhat (?) by not choosing to toot my own horn..It feels egotistical, but also stems from my own insecurity. It also works to my detriment that I am somewhat unfiltered and passionated in expressing my opinions, which less secure people might feel threatening.

After trying to settle this amicably, I filed a complaint due to lack of promotion. This complaint is being considered by the relevant arbiters. In the meantime, I feel my superiors are excluding me from important meetings. Despite my outspokenness, I really dislike disharmony, and I have worked hard to contribute to productive and respectful working relationships....If only that respect were reciprocal!

So I asked "what is right conduct toward my supervisor at this time?"I got 49 changing at line 4 to 63.

I am trying to figure out if this means that my supervisor may have a change of heart, or if I need to present myself more confidently in order to ensure success.

Thank you again any insight offered.

49.4

"Nine in the fourth place means:
Remorse disappears. Men believe him.
Changing the form of government brings good fortune.

Radical changes require adequate authority. A man must have inner strength
as well as influential position. What he does must correspond with a higher
truth and must not spring from arbitrary or petty motives; then it brings great
good fortune. If a revolution is not founded on such inner truth, the results
are bad, and it has no success. For in the end men will support only those
undertakings which they feel instinctively to be just."

I'd say that you better be sure you are in the right and if you are, then be confident and pursue your goals with conviction of one who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the success is rightfully his (or hers, in this case).

Insecurity is not your friend. If you don't believe in yourself, what right do you have to expect others to?

Thanks for the quick response...I know that I am in the right, so I am not worried on that front. I think in the past I've been beligerent rather than calm and self assured. The whole situation is just so illogical, it has made me wonder if I am losing my mind. I suppose I was trying to figure out how much I should get into people's faces about it. But I think that I understand now that I simply need to hold my ground with integrity.

What I don't know about is the "authority"...there are many people in other offices who have spoken up for me and the importance of my work. Perhaps that is a part of the puzzle. As for me being an "authority", i have little in terms of my actual title. But perhaps what is really needed is for me to see myself in a different light.

authority could well men 'self assurance' in this context.
