I'm being punished

[Ponyup]

I'm going to have to join Lindsey with a rant about my job. At least her's worked out for the better. I'm really upset. Our engineering group got dinged recently for setting up a part without asking the proper questions, so since then I have been bending over backwords to make sure it never happens again, going above & beyond for the past week or two. I have been working 10-11 hour days. Well come to find out today my co-worker who didn't step up at all & barely puts in 8 hours is getting promoted & taking half of my work. I guess I should be relieved because now i won't have to work has much, but i'm upset because i know he won't do as good of a job as i do & i feel like i did something wrong. Like i'm being punished. Plus I had no idea this was happening until a meeting with my whole department today. I feel very blindsided & like i did something wrong. I'm going to talk to my boss tonight about it, but i'm very upset. i just kept telling myself if I keep working really hard they'll see how good i am & how lazy he is & now he's getting promoted. I guess i just don't know how to cut it in the real world. I thought hard work would get you through, but i guess it's more important to talk a big game then to actual do good work.
