mousmeDear Coworker,
The very definition of a thankless task is that no one is going to thank you for doing it. You knew, going in, that what you were undertaking was a burden to those before you, who quit because it was a thankless and draining chore. Why, then, are you complaining that no one appreciates the work you do, and that no one is ever happy with your proposed solutions to problems?
You know, I might have more sympathy for you, knowing that you are working on this, if I didn't know that you specifically took on this job in order to make yourself look good and to receive metaphorical pats and cookies.
No love,
Me
