Solid advice right there!

He’s feeling very defeated and deflated, and I’m feeling really bad for him. The most ironic part is he was actively working on an extra task that he picked up in order to look like a motivated team player! You can’t win for losing.

What can I do to cheer him up? (Other than sex and BJs, because I know that’ll be suggested every other post. It’s covered ) I can be an ear to listen as he vents. But what else? Any advice from someone who has been there/done that?

Also, I know he’s going to ask my advice on what to do about stepping up and taking on extra work like he’s been doing, going forward. I have no clue what to say that is unbiased.

Listen, and agree when he says it's unfair and so and so is terrible. And hope that he has enough self-awareness to move on. My husband does not and I've listened to his increasing anger over the years. Somehow he doesn't think that this attitude is noticed and could be keeping him from advancing.
